You are my today and all my tomorrows.
MEET TIM
I’m a wedding filmmaker, and proud husband and father of two.
Nine years ago, I filmed my first wedding—and I never looked back.
The raw emotion that film can capture is what made me fall in love with storytelling.
I’ve been blessed to travel all over the world, documenting love stories in ways that feel truly unique.
My work as a professional storyteller has been both rewarding and surreal, allowing my passion for creativity to fully blossom.
Your wedding is incredibly important to me.
As your videographer, my goal is to make you feel those same butterflies you felt on your wedding day, every single time you watch your film.
LETS GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOGETHER
Your love story deserves to begin exactly how you envision it told with beauty, intention, and without compromise.
Forget the expectations of what an intimate wedding or elopement “should” look like. Let’s simply celebrate who you truly are.
I’ll be there as your guide, your adventure partner, and your storyteller.
Together, we’ll create something unforgettable.
Your adventure wedding or elopement should reflect you—that’s why I take a personalized approach with every couple I work with. You deserve more than a cookie-cutter photographer.
No matter who you are, who you love, where you’ve come from, or what you dream up, my goal is to preserve those moments so you can relive them forever.
Want to exchange vows on the side of a mountain? Let’s do it.
On top of a glacier or beneath a waterfall in Iceland? I’m there.
Dreaming of an all-day adventure with your love while I capture every in-between moment? Count me in.
I’ll help you plan the perfect day, document it beautifully, and make sure it’s one you’ll carry with you for the rest of your lives.

YOUR DESTINATION ELOPEMENT VIDEOGRAPHER
My name is Tim Trude, and I’m your videographer, storyteller, adventure buddy, and new friend. Being able to film love stories is truly the greatest job in the world but I know it comes with a lot of pressure.
The same pressure you feel when choosing your videographer. Am I going to connect with this person? Will it feel awkward?
To me, the mark of an incredible videographer is how well they create space for you to be completely yourself, while capturing those moments naturally and effortlessly. That’s my ultimate mission as your wedding videographer.
Photo, Video, or Both
That’s right you can have both stunning photos and a breathtaking film to remember your wedding or elopement.
By combining both services, you’ll save time, stress, and money compared to hiring two separate creatives.
Full Planning Assistance
Need help planning your elopement? I’ve got you covered. From finding the perfect locations and trusted vendors to securing permits, building timelines, and even scouting spots ahead of time I’ll make sure your day runs seamlessly.
Totally Unique Experience
You’ll receive a fully customized collection that includes everything you want and nothing you don’t.
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages because no two elopements are ever the same. Every couple deserves something as unique as their love story.
Your Love Can’t Be Fit Into a “Package.”
Your Love Can’t Be Fit Into a “Package.”

No Travel Fees
