POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi 👋🏼 Im Leland,

Founder, director, and lead videographer of CD Leland Films.

I’ve spent the last decade telling stories through a lens…
brands, documentaries, humans, moments.
But weddings — weddings are something totally different.

A wedding isn’t just an event.
It’s a living memory.
A day where every second is charged with emotion you’ll never feel in quite the same way again.

My job is to make sure you never lose that feeling.

I film weddings with a simple philosophy:
every couple has a heartbeat, a rhythm, a story that deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.
Not staged. Not forced.
Just real, cinematic, human moments — preserved forever.

If you’re getting married in 2026 or 2027…
and you want a film that feels warm, intentional, and deeply you —
I’d love to hear about your day.

DM me your date + venue and I’ll send availability.
Let’s create something timeless together.

— Leland 💎

Your wedding day isn’t just a timeline of events —
it’s a collection of feelings you’ll never experience in the same way again.

The quiet breath before walking down the aisle.
The trembling hands.
The whispered “are you ready?”
The look you give each other when the world finally slows down.
These moments are fleeting… but they’re everything.

My work is to preserve them —
with intention, warmth, and cinematic storytelling that feels as real as the day itself.

If you’re getting married in 2025 or 2026 and want a wedding film that moves you every time you watch it…
DM me your date + venue.
Let’s turn your day into something timeless.

Spring always feels like a beginning.

The days get longer.
The air gets softer.
Everything comes back to life.

There’s something fitting about starting a marriage during a season built around growth.

New chapters.
New memories.
New traditions waiting to be created.

A few moments from a day filled with light, laughter, and the kind of love that makes time slow down for a while.

The beginning of forever, surrounded by fresh blooms and endless possibility.

Every year, a handful of incredible dates open up unexpectedly.

A venue change.
A planner shift.
A couple who waited longer than they intended.

Whatever the reason, it creates an opportunity.

For a limited time, I’m offering special pricing for select remaining 2026 dates.

Same experience.
Same attention to detail.
Same cinematic storytelling.

Just a chance for a few last-minute couples to secure their wedding film before those dates disappear.

If you’ve been considering videography but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, now might be the perfect time.

Send me your date and location and I’ll let you know what’s still available.

Spring in Northern Michigan has a way of slowing everything down.

The vines begin to wake up.
The air turns soft again.
The light lingers a little longer.

And for a few hours, nothing else matters.

Just the quiet anticipation before the ceremony.
The gentle movement of a dress in the breeze.
The way two people look at each other when they realize the day they’ve imagined for so long is finally here.

No rush.
No spectacle.

Just elegance, intention, and a story unfolding exactly as it should.

These are the weddings I love most — the ones that don’t need to be loud to be unforgettable.

The ones that feel effortless, timeless, and deeply personal.

A reminder that sometimes the most beautiful moments are also the most delicate.

A place like this slows everything down.

The air feels lighter.
The moments feel longer.
And the things that matter become really clear.

No distractions.
No noise.
Just two people, surrounded by the kind of stillness that lets everything sink in.

The dress, waiting in the morning light.
The hands held a little tighter.
The kind of embrace that says everything without a word.

Weddings like this don’t need excess.
They don’t need to be loud.

They just need space to breathe.

And somewhere in all of it —
a story that feels honest, grounded, and entirely their own.

Destination weddings aren’t something you just show up for.
New light.
New timelines.
New environments.
Everything moves a little differently.
That’s why I always get there early.
To walk the space.
Watch how the light moves.
Understand the flow and energy of the place before anything even begins.
So when the day comes, it feels effortless.
No scrambling. No guessing. Just calm, controlled, intentional movement.
You get to be fully present in the experience, and I make sure everything behind the scenes runs exactly how it should.
Different location, same standard.

There’s something about being this far removed from everything.

No noise.
No rush.
Just open air, rolling hills, and a kind of stillness you can feel in your chest.

The kind of place where moments don’t compete for attention —
they unfold naturally.
Quietly.
Honestly.

Where a dress hanging in the morning light feels like a promise.
Where a first touch carries weight.
Where a single embrace holds more than words ever could.

This wasn’t just a wedding.
It was intentional.
It was grounded.
It was two people choosing each other in a place that let it all breathe.

And years from now, when the details start to fade,
this is what will remain —
the feeling, the space, the way it all felt to be there.

That’s what I aim to preserve every time.

If you’re planning something that feels a little more personal, a little more intentional,
I’d love to be part of it.

Golden light, salt in the air, and a love that reached far beyond the two of them, this was one of those moments you don’t just witness, you carry with you. The kind of energy that shifts everything around it.

Not just a trip… something that changed lives. A love that set the tone, brought people closer, and quietly built a legacy inside the friend group that’ll be felt long after the sun set.

Some stories don’t end when you leave, they evolve in everyone who was there 🌊✨

Most people find me through the camera,
but that was never really the beginning.

I’ve always been drawn to creating —
whether it was through movement, discipline, or pushing my body to its limits,
or finding stillness and appreciating the beauty around me.

Different mediums, same intention.
To feel something deeper.
To create something that lasts.

Film just became the place where all of it came together.

A way to capture not just what’s in front of me,
but what it means.

Currently somewhere in Costa Rica, slowing things down and taking it all in 🌿

The kind of light you can’t plan,
you just wait for it, and when it comes, everything changes.

The wind softens.
The ocean quiets.
Time stretches just enough to hold onto it.

Two people, standing at the edge of everything,
with nothing but light, air, and each other.

These are the moments that don’t feel real until they’re gone.
The ones that live somewhere between memory and dream.

And for a few minutes, the world slows down just enough
to turn it into something cinematic.
