Jimmy Nelson

Arizona Wedding Videographer

NICE TO MEET YOU – I’M JIMMY!

You’re not just planning a wedding—you’re creating a day filled with moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime. But here’s the thing: weddings go by fast. The hugs, the laughter, the quiet exchanges—it’s easy for the little moments to blur in the whirlwind of the day.

That’s where I come in. As the creative behind J Nelson Films, I specialize in crafting wedding films that let you relive the magic of your wedding day, exactly as it felt. Video captures something no still image can: the voices, the movement, the raw emotion. My films are about more than just the big moments; they’re about the quiet, heartfelt details that make your story uniquely yours.

SO JIMMY… WHY WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY?

Wedding videography wasn’t always the plan for me, but looking back, it makes perfect sense.

It all started when I was a 13-year-old skateboarder recording sessions with my friends. Those videos were far from professional, but they taught me something important: video has the power to preserve the moments that matter. After losing a close friend, those clips became priceless—a way to laugh together again, even when he was gone.

Years later, I picked up a better camera and discovered a knack for storytelling. What began as a hobby turned into something much bigger: a passion for capturing real, meaningful moments. By 2019, I took a leap of faith, leaving my 9-to-5 to pursue wedding videography full-time. It’s been a wild ride, but every time a couple tells me how much their wedding film means to them, I know I made the right choice.

CRAFTING FILMS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU

The wedding films I create are timeless, emotional, and deeply personal. I weave together big moments and small touches with a cinematic, natural feel that reflects your day exactly as it happened. From aerial shots of your venue to real-time reactions to heartfelt speeches, every detail is intentionally captured to tell your story.

Whether you’re planning an adventurous Sedona elopement, a timeless Phoenix wedding, or an intimate Scottsdale celebration, my goal is to create a keepsake you’ll treasure now and for years to come.

“Jimmy was one of the highlights of our wedding. He was so easy to work with, kind, accommodating and created a spectacular video that included everything I asked for. Jimmy created a true video, not just a documentary of our wedding. He told our story beautifully with perfectly timed shots and audio of our vows and speeches.
