When I think about why I make wedding films, it always comes back to the reason you’re having a wedding in the first place.

What is the purpose of this day for you?

Because after going to enough weddings, it’s easy for the days to start feeling a little repetitive. And honestly, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s a reason wedding days follow a similar rhythm. There’s tradition. There are things that work. There’s dancing and dinner and beautiful details and all the things that make a wedding a celebration.

But underneath all of it, what is the root?

For me, it’s Jesus. His love. His covenant. The sacrament of marriage. Two people choosing each other and, more importantly, choosing to enter into a covenant with Him.

And if I or the couples I work with lose sight of that, I think I lose sight of why I’m there with my camera in the first place.

I don’t want to just preserve how your wedding day looked.

I want to preserve what it meant.

Because long after the flowers are gone, the dinner is over, and the music stops, the covenant remains. And it’s the weddings that really highlight this that remind me why I do what I do.

Because if the purpose of wedding celebrations being about a covenant and that sacrificial love go away… then so will I.

Because making wedding videos isn’t my purpose, God is. by @corinaraemedia

Hi, I’m Corina 🤍🌼🌷🐓🎥🙏🏼🦋

I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I knew I wanted to share the joy of the Lord and the beauty of the Church with other people, and somehow, God chose videography as one of the ways He would let me do that.

In college, I pursued media production alongside theology and Catholic studies, following this little calling to document experiences, life, love, and faith. Looking back, it’s pretty incredible to see how God has taken something that started as a simple love for creating and turned it into opportunities I never could have planned for myself.

I’ve gotten to help businesses tell their stories, capture people in some of the most meaningful seasons of their lives, and hopefully remind couples of the love and covenant they entered into in the first place.

Alongside this little business of mine, I’m also incredibly grateful to work with @neonlionmedia and @calandlilyflowerfarm as a social media manager. When I’m not behind a camera, you can probably find me growing flowers, hosting a gathering, traveling, or getting involved in Bible studies and events.

Something that is really important to me as a videographer is letting things unfold naturally. I don’t want every moment to feel posed or overly produced. I want to be a fly on the wall... noticing the little things, the in-between moments, the laughs, the tears, and all the beautiful things that are already happening without me having to create them.

I wouldn’t be doing any of this without my faith, so it will always be a part of the way I work and the stories I get to tell. Getting to work with people who genuinely know and love the Lord is something I never want to take for granted.

If I’ve worked with you before, if I’m currently working with you, or if our paths cross somewhere down the road... thank you. Truly. I’m so grateful you’re a part of this little story God is writing. 🤍 taken in Minnesota by @corinaraemedia

We must never forget what is truly at the heart of your wedding Mass.

The same Jesus who gave Himself for us on the Cross becomes truly present to us in the Eucharist. The sacrifice of Calvary is made present on the altar, and the very Love you are called to imitate in your marriage is before your eyes.

One day, the flowers will fade and the photographs will grow old. The details you spent months planning will become memories. But the grace of this sacrament remains.

I don’t make wedding films simply so you can remember what your day looked like. I want you to remember the promise you made, the covenant you entered into, and the sacrament you received. I want you to remember the why behind it all.

Because marriage is more than a beautiful day or a feeling that comes and goes. It is a daily choice to love, to sacrifice, to forgive, and to give yourself completely to another person. It is a call to love as Christ loves His Church.

And when the years pass, when marriage feels harder than you imagined, when the excitement of the wedding day feels far away, I hope you can return to these moments and remember the promise you made before God. Remember the Love that was at the center of your wedding Mass, the Love that sustains you, and the Love you are called to give one another every day.

The world may see a wedding day. But I hope your film reminds you of the covenant, the sacrament, and the vocation that began there. taken in Minnesota by @corinaraemedia

five catholic women, one place, a shared love for creating, and a whole lot of memories 🤍

feeling so blessed to have been invited to door county with four incredible women of faith. what a gift it was to spend time together, learn from one another, and create for businesses whose products and missions we genuinely love and believe in.

it’s so special to me that our catholic faith is what brought us together. we may each have different talents, different ways of creating, and different ways of sharing our faith online, but we’re all grounded in the same thing. and getting to witness the way each of these women lights up a room, brings her own gifts to the table, and inspires others to do the same? such a gift. i left feeling so filled.

and to the businesses who so generously gifted us their products / services and trusted us to create something beautiful with them, thank you. it was such a joy to get to know your brands and help share the good work you’re doing.

these are just a few of the images i had the joy of creating during our time together, and just a little glimpse into all that happened.

i think sometimes we’re so quick to talk about the negative side of social media that we forget what it can be when we use it with intention. it can bring people together who might never have met otherwise. it can help small businesses grow, give people a platform to share what they believe in, and create opportunities for collaboration, friendship, and so much good.

what if we talked a little more about the good? what if we celebrated the people using their gifts to build something beautiful, encourage others, and point back to what matters most?

so grateful for my camera that brings me to know so many people including these women. all glory to God, always. taken in Door County by @corinaraemedia

THE LELWICAS!! 💍⭐️🫶🏼🙏🏼

Catherine and Max’s day was every bit as reverent, prayerful, and full of love as it was goofy, hilarious, and completely them.

From the beauty of their Nuptial Mass to Max ripping his pants in a place you definitely don’t want to rip your pants, this day had it all.

These two are so deeply loved they just couldn’t stop inviting people. The biggest crowd I’ve ever captured, but every person there felt intentional. They truly made this day theirs.

So grateful I got to witness it. Can’t wait to share more. 🤍

if you asked younger me what i wanted to be when i grew up, i would’ve told you something like, “i want to be a videographer. but not just any videographer… i want to create things that share the light of God. i want to tell stories and work with people and businesses that point back to Christ.” 🤍

today was such a sweet reminder of that dream, and honestly, it’s something i’m reminded of every day.

whether it’s weddings, events, social media, or getting to capture the little moments in between, i’m realizing more and more that it’s not necessarily about what i’m doing, but who i’m doing it for.

the camera is just a tool. the work is just the means. the heart behind it all is what matters.

i don’t want to create just for the sake of creating, or chase numbers, views, or success just to say i made it. i want to use the gifts God has given me to serve others, tell their stories well, and ultimately point people back to Him.

what a gift it is to get to do something i love while having the opportunity to glorify the One who gave me the desire to do it in the first place.

thank You, Jesus, for letting me live a little piece of the dream i once prayed for. may it always be about You. 🕊️ taken in Minnesota by @corinaraemedia

“WE’RE SO MUCH COOLER.”

I was filming Abby and her bridesmaids dancing around her when all of a sudden I hear something going on behind me.

I turn around and there are all of Sam’s groomsmen going around him in a circle yelling, “WE’RE SO MUCH COOLER! OURS IS SO MUCH COOLER!”

I was dyingggg. Such a random little moment, but it made me laugh so hard and was so perfectly them.

These are the moments I love most on wedding days. The things you didn’t plan, didn’t expect, and probably wouldn’t even think to recreate.

You’re reminder to be you on your wedding day, and let these little moments happen. They’ll probably end up being your favorite! 🤍 taken in Minnesota by @corinaraemedia
