Heart Stone Films

Videography | North Carolina

We are International Award Winning filmmakers who create films that capture love for life. Our specialty is HD & Super 8mm wedding films. We have been capturing weddings and events since 2001. We approach each wedding as a fresh new story waiting to be told. We love Penguins because they are one of the only animals that find one mate for life! This is why we love weddings, because we get to work with couples that have found their mate for life! Penguins also bring their mate a stone as a courtship gesture, this gift reminds us of the engagement ring. It is said that the stone/wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger because the vein in this particular finger was believed to be directly connected to the heart, a symbol of love. Thus, Heart Stone Films. We believe there is one unique thing about each wedding :: the Bride + Groom. We would love to tell your story!
