Declan Cadman Films is an award-winning international wedding videography studio with a passion for timeless storytelling. Since 2017, Declan Cadman Films has filmed hundreds of weddings across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe — from intimate elopements in Croatia to grand celebrations in California.

Declan Cadman Films blends cinematic visuals with emotional depth. Declan personally edits every wedding film, ensuring every couple receives a bespoke story that feels like their own feature film — one to be passed down for generations.

The journey began when Declan invested his savings into his first camera and attended a life-changing workshop in Colorado. In 2024, the team was invited to film the wedding of actress Molly C. Quinn (Castle, The Rookie) and producer Elan Gale (The Bachelor, The Haunting of Hill House), officiated by director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad, and Co-CEO of DC Studios). Being entrusted with a day of that scale reflects the professionalism, artistry, and discretion that define the work.

Even better than expected

I would say Declan is a great photographer, which he is, but he is so much more than this - he helped us heaps with organization and from the first call we had, we saw how deeply he knows what he’s doing. And we loved it – having him with us made the whole day so much less stressed as he knew exactly where to guide us next. And the photos were more than we asked for 🤩

Wonderful experience

I've been a fan of Declan's work for a while now and had the opportunity to meet him in person a while ago. I just knew he would be a great fit for my friends when they asked if I knew a photographer that could be at their wedding.
So long story short, they wanted to get married within 3 months. Thanks to his experience, I got to see how he helped them with the wedding timeline and important details before their big day.
He not only was very kind to everyone in the wedding but also helped the bride's mom with tips to capture beautiful moments on her own. They worked together and Declan made sure he was involving her (the bride's mom) in the process, listening to her concerns while making sure to be ready to capture beautiful moments.
My friends loved the results and everyone was very happy having him around and posing for the photos.
Would 100% recommend to any couple.

Amazing human and videographer!!!

We are so grateful we found Declan, 10/10 experience! Super genuine, professional, and incredibly talented at what he does.
When I first started searching for a videographer I felt like most the companies I came across were pretty “corporate” and impersonal. The first thing I noticed about Declan’s page is that he’s an amazing storyteller. & Let me tell you he absolutely nailed capturing not only our wedding, but who we are and our relationship! I’m OBSESSED with our videos! Having clips from our adventure session in our wedding video made it extra unique and personal to us. They are so moving and make just about everyone we show tear up.
I can’t speak highly enough about Declan! By far our favorite vendor for our wedding and definitely a gem of a person. You won’t regret booking with him!

Would Absolutely Recommend

Declan and CJ are AMAZING! CJ filmed our wedding and he was very sweet and professional. Declan did an amazing job editing the content and creating a BEAUTIFUL 6 minute highlight film, which we cried watching. My husband and I are so happy to have a short video that summarizes our wedding day perfectly.

Highly recommend - would hire him again!

Declan was great to work with! He listened to our needs and creatively articulated our special day with his amazing and professional work. I have no regrets whatsoever in hiring him. Honestly, I can’t believe I even considered not having a videographer for our wedding. These are moments we will cherish forever and will be able to share with our children in the future. Do yourself a favor and hire Declan!!

Exactly what we needed

we LOVED declan. From the beginning, he was easy to communicate with, straightforward, gave us all the details, and his price is so reasonable for how professional the outcome is! ON the day of the wedding, our party loved him and enjoyed his overall presence and interactions. He was just fun to have around! And finally, he got our video back in a very timely manner (3 months)! And the results were phenomenal and just impressed with how professional it looks. Would definitely pick him ten times over!

BEST wedding videographer EVER!!!

What can I say.. Declan was absolutely amazing! We really wanted to invest in a videographer for our wedding and we have zero regrets on our decision. We had the pleasure of meeting him prior to our wedding about a month before and did an adventure session which really helped get us comfortable in front of the camera! And then when it came to wedding day, not only was he awesome with us but he truly felt like a friend to everyone. Leaving him with creative control from the editing style to the music choice it was just perfection, he captured the love and joyful feeling throughout the entire day. I was really detail oriented and it was like he could read my mind. It's been over a year since our wedding and we still sit down and watch it frequently because it is just SO GOOD! Thank you Declan, and if you are in search of a videographer, LOOK NO FURTHER! He is your guy!

Captured every moment!

Declan did my wedding videography and he and his assistant were so amazing!! The adventure session was so fun and gave us a chance to get comfortable on film and get to know him, not to mention the added bits of it in our highlight film we’re so amazing! He was so great on the day of too, I hardly knew he was there, he was so stealthy moving throughout the day and got all the best shots we were looking for. Our highlight film turned out so beautiful as well as the entire ceremony and toast film. I was really blown away by how amazing the cinematography was! I would recommend him 1000%

Declan was the absolute best decision made

If you have any doubts or thoughts on which videographer to choose , Declan is your answer. Not only was he so sweet and attendant to my needs, he went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy. I mean EVERYONE. Instantly upon meeting him, he puts you at ease and makes you comfortable with the camera. His skills are irreplaceable and I’d choose him over and over again!!

We wish we could give Declan 10 stars

We wish we could give Declan 10 stars. He was nothing but accommodating, helpful, respectful, extremely communicative and most importantly, INSANELY talented from the first time we talked. He worked extremely well with our other vendors and even stepped in to make sure the lighting in our ceremony room was perfect for the mood of the event and to make sure it translated well on camera.

As for the filming and video itself, it is absolutely stunning, we cry like babies every time we watch it. I'm an Art Director myself and can assure you his editing is top notch, his composition is spot on and he's able to capture all the important and intimate moments without ever even realizing he's there, which is an invaluable quality in a videographer.

Declan doesn't just show up on your day and film, he worked with us from the moment we hired him, he had me fill out a detailed questionnaire and then we had a meeting and went over every single thing and our exact timeline to familiarize himself with our day. He talked to us about music, and let us have a hand in picking out the song, he was hands down the best communicator out of all our vendors, he always replied quickly to my texts and emails. In my mind, that was everything I could ask for in a vendor!

He was a very important asset to our day, he contributed a perfect level of professionalism and fun energy and because of that we now have a video that we get to enjoy the rest of our lives!

I'm glad we snagged him in Ohio before he moved, California will be lucky to have him! You don't need to think twice about hiring Declan!

Amazing Experience!

Declan was a crucial part of our wedding and left us with memories from our wedding that we will never forget. We chose him because we felt a true connection to the videos he made. They were soulful, portrayed the love between the couples magically and every video he made gave you chills. His perspective was artistic and he truly was skillful. From our first meeting with him, we knew he would give 110% to everything he did. Even though he had never filmed an Indian wedding before, he did his best to get as much information as he could and make sure nothing got missed. He made sure to keep in contact and would even check in with us regularly. On the day of the wedding he was always available and made sure to be ready and prepared for anything. When we got our wedding highlight video, it was amazing how he had captured the most important parts of the day in such an artistic and beautiful way. It was truly a masterpiece we will never stop watching. He even recorded the entire day for us an included those videos in edited form. Declan is the whole package- talent, price, personality!

11/10 Videographer Experience

Declan is so awesome. His work is amazing
and his personality is just as so. My wife and
I hired Declan to be our videographer for our
wedding. He started off as just another
vendor, and he ended up becoming one of
our friends. We received our videos we
requested super quick and all of our family
and friends that watched were in tears. It
captured our day perfectly and included all
of the important moments.

During quick breaks of the photo and video
session, he would chat up the bridal party,
he was super easy to work with, and the final
result was incredible. He also worked with
the other vendors we hired incredibly and
always made sure to make everyone
comfortable. He helped us feel comfortable
in front of the camera and we all had so
much fun shooting with him! Highly highly
recommend Declan!! You won't be
disappointed - you will be blown away.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
