The Founder
Hey, I'm Myron
Weddings have a way of revealing people.
Filming Michigan weddings since 2020. 77+ couples. One filmmaker who still cries at the father-daughter dance.
The grandmother who hasn't danced in ten years, doing it again because her grandson asked. The dad who thought he had the speech under control and absolutely does not. The quiet thirty seconds in the bridal suite when the veil goes on and nobody says anything, because there's nothing left to say.
Those are the moments I came to film.
I started as a photographer. For years, that's all I wanted to be — still frames, chasing the decisive moment, learning to see. Weddings weren't on my radar. Then I shot my first one, and somewhere between the first look and the last dance I realized a photograph couldn't hold it. The look on her dad's face needed to move. Her mother's laugh needed sound. The vows needed breath.
So I picked up a camera that could film them. That was 2020. Seventy-seven weddings ago. And I'm still not over it.
My default is documentary. I want the real thing — the tears that caught you off guard, the toast that went off the rails, the song you didn't know you'd remember forever. Most of the day, I'm the person in the corner making sure nothing gets missed.
But if you want a few posed shots — a quiet moment in good light, a portrait the two of you will actually want to hang on a wall — I've got you. I came up as a photographer, so I know how to direct without it feeling stiff. You tell me what you want, and we'll make it look like it happened on its own.
Longer takes. Composed frames. Real sound. Patient editing that trusts you to feel what's in front of you. The kind of film you'll put on at your tenth anniversary and still feel in your chest.
Where I Film
Jaymes Media is based in Plymouth, Michigan, and I travel wherever love takes you in this state. I've filmed couples on Detroit rooftops and the Grand Haven pier, in Ann Arbor gardens and on the quiet backroads near Traverse City. I've worked inside Planterra, The Felt Estate, Shinola, and The Henry Ford — each one has taught me something, if I was paying attention.
I've learned the light in these places. The way the glass at Planterra goes gold around 7:12 in July. The wind off Lake Michigan you can hear before you can see it. The hush inside Henry Ford when the ceremony starts. The small, specific things that make a Michigan wedding feel like a Michigan wedding. I bring that knowledge to every day I film, because the people I film deserve someone who knows where they're standing.
It's Just Me
Every film is shot, edited, and delivered by me. That's not a marketing line — it's how I want to work. It means you'll know my name, my number, and my face. It means the person you trusted with your wedding is the same person sitting in the edit suite at 11pm trying to get the color on your dad's tux exactly right, because that moment mattered and I don't want to lose it.
It matters to me. I promise you'll feel it.
Let's Make Your Film
If you want a film that remembers your wedding the way you actually lived it — the quiet moments and the loud ones, the tears and the dance floor and everything in between — I'd love to hear your story.

The Venue
Why the Felt Estate is a dream venue
for cinematic wedding film
Perched on the shores of Lake Michigan in Holland, the Felt Estate is a 1920s stone mansion surrounded by 22 acres of gardens, lawns, and lakefront. It's one of Michigan's most cinematic wedding venues — a place where history, nature, and light converge to create something extraordinary on film.
Historic Stone Architecture
The Felt Estate — originally known as Shore Acres — is a 1920s lakeside mansion built with the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't exist anymore. Stone walls, arched doorways, grand staircases, and a ballroom with soaring ceilings. For a filmmaker, this architecture provides natural framing, dramatic depth, and a sense of permanence that elevates every shot. Your ceremony isn't just happening in a room — it's happening inside a piece of Michigan history.
Lake Michigan as Your Backdrop
Few venues in Michigan can claim a direct Lake Michigan backdrop. At the Felt Estate, the ceremony lawn overlooks the lake, and the shoreline is steps away. That means golden-hour portraits with the water stretching to the horizon, the sound of waves during your vows, and a sunset that paints the sky behind you as you walk back down the aisle. On film, it's the kind of backdrop that makes people ask, 'Where was that?'
Golden Hour That Lasts
Because of its western-facing position on Lake Michigan, the Felt Estate catches golden hour in a way that most inland venues simply can't. The light comes in low and warm across the grounds, through the trees, and off the water — creating a soft, cinematic glow that lasts longer than you'd expect. As a filmmaker, I plan around this light. It's the difference between a good shot and a frame that takes your breath away.
Grounds That Tell a Story
The Felt Estate isn't just a building — it's 22 acres of manicured gardens, wooded paths, and open lawns. This means your wedding film has variety: intimate moments in the garden, wide establishing shots across the grounds, a first look on the stone terrace, cocktail hour on the lawn. Every location within the estate has its own character, which gives us the visual range to create a film that feels like a short feature, not a slideshow.
Kind Words
"Myron has an incredible eye for storytelling. He captured the emotion of our day in a way that makes us cry happy tears every time we watch it."
