Emotional, Story-Driven
Wedding Films That Feel Like You
ARIZONA WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
DOCUMENTARY FIRST. INTENTIONAL WHEN IT COUNTS.
Your wedding day is full of real energy — the unscripted moments, meaningful audio, and natural interactions that can’t be recreated.
I take a documentary-first approach to preserve those moments as they unfold, staying aware of light, composition, and sound without getting in the way of what’s real.
When the timing is right, I step in with gentle direction — creating cinematic imagery that feels natural, confident, and true to you.
Nothing forced. Nothing missed. Just a film that feels true to who you are.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE FILMS
why I film weddings the way I do
I’m Jimmy — the filmmaker behind J Nelson Films, and the person who’ll be with you throughout your wedding day.
My role isn’t just to capture what happens, but to create an environment where you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease. I’m calm when things move fast, attentive when moments matter, and thoughtful about when to step in — and when to step back.
Couples often tell me it feels less like having a vendor around and more like having someone who genuinely cares about how the day feels for them. That matters to me, because the best films come from trust.
If you value connection and a wedding day that feels natural, we’ll be a good fit.

Kind words
“Jimmy truly makes wedding films — not just videos.
From our very first call, we knew Jimmy was someone we could trust to really see us and our relationship. His attention to detail and ability to capture small, meaningful moments is unlike anything else we saw while searching for filmmakers.
On our wedding day, he was calm, kind, and completely dependable — quietly capturing everything as it naturally unfolded. When we watch our film now, we don’t just see our wedding — we feel it.”
— Olivia & Deon
