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.
