Red Finch Studios
Calgary-based wedding videographer creating story-driven films that capture the emotions and authentic moments of your big day.
About
Red Finch Studios is a wedding videography team led by Michael and Cardin, based in Calgary. They specialize in narrative-driven wedding films that capture the authentic emotions and fleeting moments couples often miss while busy with their own day. Their approach is candid and "fly on the wall" - they blend into the background to catch unscripted expressions and genuine interactions.
The team shoots in true 4K resolution and spends 30 to 50 hours editing each wedding film from the ground up. They're known for delivering highlight reels within a week and full wedding films within three to five months. Beyond Calgary, they travel extensively for weddings - they've filmed in Iceland and Los Angeles and will go wherever the couple's love takes them.
Red Finch works with all kinds of couples, whether they're adventurous elopers or homebodies. They coordinate closely with photographers and other vendors to ensure seamless coverage of the day. Their process starts with an in-person meeting to discuss budget and expectations, moves through careful pre-wedding planning, and culminates in the edited film shared with friends and family.
FAQs
What's your approach if we're nervous on camera?
They use a fly-on-the-wall style that lets you relax and be yourselves. Half the time you won't even know they're there, so you can focus on the moment. They'll pose you when needed, but the goal is to catch your natural, unscripted reactions.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. They've filmed in Iceland and Los Angeles and will go anywhere your wedding takes you. Standard packages include 100km of travel from downtown Calgary, with additional travel at $0.75/km. Overnight stays may be required depending on distance.
How do you protect our footage?
All cameras have dual card slots with multiple cameras and audio recorders running simultaneously. Files are backed up on multiple hard drives and stored in the cloud for complete data security.
Is a documentary edit available?
Red Finch Studios can produce a longer-form documentary edit.
