The most treasured videos were never filmed by professionals.

Nostalgia-themed wedding videography, designed to be affordable.

Offline is the new luxury

The imperfect and spontaneous essence of the ‘offline’ era back in the 90s and 2000s is at the heart of our ethos here at The Wedding Recorder.

Founded by the award-winning filmmaker, Zoe Lewin, TWR is a nod to filmmakers Nancy Meyers and Richard Curtis, and the last generation who remember what a home video was.

But we’re also fixing a more practical problem.

Traditional wedding videographers are expensive, and usually the first thing couples cut when budgeting for their wedding.

The Wedding Recorder flips the model. Instead of a stranger with a camera, your wedding gets captured by the people who know you best, letting you and your guests live in the moment, just like the movies.

Couples can hire our user-friendly camcorders for guests to pass around, which, by their very design and ergonomics, embody that 90s and 2000s aesthetic of the home video.

What sets TWR apart is that we’re built on real filmmaking principles.

Our Film Producer founder Zoe has filmed, documented and developed many remarkable stories on camera in the last decade, and began her career as one of very few women working in the camera department.

“Nothing has felt more natural and exciting to me than getting to tell love stories. And finding a way to make it both nostalgic and affordable for couples is the best part of all.”
