Over the years, so many of my couples have asked if I offer video — and the more love stories I’ve witnessed, the more I’ve felt it too: some moments deserve to move. Photography has always been my first love, a way to hold on to stillness and emotion in a single frame. But there are pieces of a wedding day — the quiver in your voice during vows, the way your dad laughs during a toast, the sound of your people cheering as you walk back up the aisle — that beg to be felt in motion.
Maybe it’s because my biggest regret from my own wedding day is not having video — not being able to hear the way our love sounded back then. That ache has shaped the way I see this work. I want more for you. I want the fullness of your experience preserved — the artful stillness of photographs paired with the living, breathing magic that only film can hold.
Videography is coming soon to Mariah VanHoover Photography, and I cannot wait to offer a way for your memories to not only be seen, but heard, felt, and relived for a lifetime
There’s a quiet kind of magic in wedding days — the way love gathers in a room, the way your people dote on you like you’re the brightest thing they’ve ever seen.
This is why I do what I do.
To preserve the way it felt.
To turn fleeting moments into something you can hold — something that outlives the day itself.
Because your wedding album isn’t just a collection of images; it’s an heirloom. A piece of your story for future generations to trace their love back to.
I get to turn moments into inheritance.
Love into art.
A single day into something that lasts.
