Why Couples Trust Storytellers Films:

  • Candid Experts: We’re experts at capturing real, unscripted moments that reveal the true personalities and emotions of our couples.

We believe love is universal, and we embrace diversity, celebrating love stories regardless of beliefs, nationality, sexual identity, or color. Your love story is unique, and we are honored to help you tell it, whatever it may look like.

  • Storytelling with Emotion & Sound: We don’t just capture visuals — we focus on sound and emotion to bring your love story to life. From the vows to the laughter of your guests, every audio detail is thoughtfully integrated into a cinematic narrative that feels personal and meaningful.

That exceeded our expectations!

Dmitry, my spouse and I are so grateful that you filmed our wedding! Our family and friends absolutely loved the video and praised it highly. Your video is a truly touching and stunning masterpiece that we've watched countless times. I was impressed not only by Dmitry's professionalism and tact but also by his ability to meet all deadlines without any hitches.

By the way, it rained on our wedding day during our outdoor ceremony, Dmitry had to work in such challenging conditions and did everything perfectly. Thank you for capturing those precious moments of joy that we'll treasure forever! Wishing Storytellers Films ongoing success and endless inspiration!

Stylish and touching!

When we received the final video, it felt like a real movie, a mini-series telling the story of the beginning of our family. It is just amazing!

From the very beginning, we were impressed by Dmitry's attention to detail. All the selected frames and background music perfectly conveyed the atmosphere of our wedding day. He managed to capture all the important emotions and touching moments. It’s like we’re transported back to that day every time we watch our video🥰

Dmitry is a truly talented videographer, and we are thrilled to have chosen him to create this important memory. We are sincerely grateful and wholeheartedly recommend Storytellers Films 👍🏻

Everything was perfectly smooth

Firstly, let's reiterate that the video exceeded our expectations, it was truly amazing! So I won't comment much because I loved everything - the brainstorming process about what should be in the video, your suggestions for the shots, adjustments to the wedding timing to ensure beautiful smoothness of the day, and your flexibility towards new ideas. Everything deserves a solid 5/5, seriously. The way you handled revisions is an art form itself: "It was 100% pure lit before revisions, after it's 120%."

Working with you personally was also super comfortable, you're serious and very organized, which resonated well with me. I loved your approach “I take responsibility for “x, y, z to do things well, I also need “a, b, c”.

That was super helpful! It's also great that you have a backup plan (lapel mics), your experience is immediately evident.

I also want to note separately how useful it was for us that you were not just a videographer but also involved in the wedding planning, activities, schedule, and coordinating everything with the photographer and equipment.

Overall, everything is top-notch. When we celebrate our wedding anniversary, it will be difficult to find an expert like yourself. Best of luck!

We're so grateful!

After watching Storyteller's video from our friend's wedding, we were thoroughly impressed and knew we had to book him for our own wedding! He's an exceptional cameraman, incredibly kind and cheerful. Everything went seamlessly and was perfectly timed; he beautifully captured all the best moments. A heartfelt thank you for the final film — it brought tears of joy and perfectly preserved the memories of our special day. Everything was absolutely fantastic; thank you so much! We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future

Exactly what we expected.

I'm amazed, Dmitry! I loved the way you selected the perfect moments and built the video sequence. The corrections you made were exactly what we asked for. Besides being a talented filmmaker, you also have a great personality. It was so relaxing to have you around; you were at ease, joking and interacting with us, which made us feel comfortable.

Thank you so much for being our wedding filmmaker!

Dmitry Zheleznyy
Storytellers Films Owner / Lead filmmaker

Hey, my name is Dmitry! I'm a filmmaker and photographer, but it hasn't always been this way. In 2012, I graduated from university with a Master's degree in Marketing. My first job was as a passenger registration desk manager at the airport in Moscow. Later on, I landed a marketing manager position at an aircraft manufacturing company.

That's where I first picked up a DSLR camera. I still remember being sent to photograph the speech of the company president at Aircraft Constructor Day. Since that moment, I've seen my photos printed and framed every time I entered his office.

Later on, I started freelancing. My first freelance project in 2017 was a photo session for stray dogs organized by volunteers to find them new homes. Afterward, I began filming commercials, weddings, and events.

In 2022, I participated in my first (and for now, the last) contest and was honored to be recognized as one of the top 100 filmmakers by the Top100Awards.

Following the events of 2022, I left Moscow and traveled the world, working on international projects. I filmed in the US, Sweden, Bali, Armenia, Georgia, Sri Lanka, and eventually settled down in Toronto. Since then, Canada has become my home.

During this two-year journey, I covered eight countries, developed a unique filmmaking style, found love, and got married.

Regarding my approach, I prefer capturing everything naturally and beautifully. I enjoy bringing out the personalities of couples and interacting with them to make them feel relaxed and comfortable. My main goal is to preserve you as you are, with all your perfections and imperfections, capturing your unique characters and unveiling your true love story.
