Ellen de Raad approaches wedding filmmaking with a quiet curiosity for people and their stories. After years of travelling and living across Europe and the Caribbean, she has always been drawn to the way places, people, and experiences shape the stories we carry with us. That curiosity naturally found its way into her work.
Drawn to genuine connection, movement, and emotion, Ellen documents weddings as they naturally unfold — creating films that feel vibrant, effortless, and deeply personal. She follows the rhythm of a celebration rather than setting it, allowing couples to be fully present while she quietly preserves what makes their day their own.
"The moments I'm drawn to are rarely the ones that can be planned. A wedding already holds everything it needs. My role is simply to notice it, preserve it, and shape it into something that still feels just as alive years later."
