Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life—a day you've painstakingly planned, down to the finest detail. From the romantic venue to the personal touches you’ve thoughtfully chosen. Don't let this be just a fleeting moment. While photos capture still moments in time, film has the power to bring your wedding day to life. Through cinematic storytelling, we preserve not just the sights but the emotions, the laughter, the vows, and the little in-between moments—so you can relive your special day for years to come.

Our Film Style

Our highlight film captures every emotions of your wedding day. Each magical moment is digitally stitched utilizing licensed tracks and voice-over from your vows and speeches to create your own cinematic wedding film.

Hi y’all! I am Ian. I am the owner and lead videographer of Visual Culture Media LLC. While I’m a registered nurse by profession, my true passion lies in capturing the beauty of nature, people, and life’s most meaningful moments through film.

My journey with a camera began over twenty years ago, driven by a deep desire to tell stories through photography. I traveled the world, specializing in landscape and travel photography, pitching my work to various media outlets.

In 2016, after moving to South Carolina, I discovered my love for wedding filmmaking. The energy, emotions, and unique love stories drew me in, and transitioning to video became a natural evolution of my storytelling. I’ve never looked back.

When I’m not behind the camera or at the hospital, you’ll find me outdoors, mountain biking or kayaking through South Carolina’s amazing landscapes. Because of my commitment to both my craft and my nursing career, I take on only 1-2 weddings per month, ensuring each couple receives the time and creativity their wedding film deserves.

Let’s create something beautiful together—allow me to tell your love story.

Ian Antaran | Lead Videographer
