About Emilee Guidorzi Films
Hey there!
I’m Emilee, an Austin-based wedding and branding filmmaker based in Austin, Texas.
I like to describe my storytelling style as honest, intentional, and timeless. I want to create a piece of art that’s meaningful and personal to who you are, not some overly staged production. And doing that requires thoughtfulness and intentionality to see the whole person and what they’re about. It requires sensitivity, the ability to feel what others are feeling, to read the emotions of a moment and know when to let it play out fully or when to put the camera down. That’s the sort of thing that helps tell a great story.
And by the end of your wedding day, I want you to feel like I’m your true friend and your biggest cheerleader. So, are you ready to do this thing?
What’s up with the last name?
Well you can blame my very Italian husband, and you can pronounce it however you like. “Guh-door-zee” is fine, or you can say it the really Italian way, “Gwee-door-si”, with a little Italian hand gesture in the air. Tomato, tomato.
My Approach
I believe the key to a great wedding film comes from caring deeply about each and every couple. I strive to get to know my couples personally beforehand so that trust and vulnerability are already established before a camera is ever picked up. I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you got to hang out with your friend, not a camera operator all day.
What Inspires Me
There’s something about video that photo just can’t quite capture. Seeing the tears roll down your husband’s cheek as you walk down the aisle, hearing your dad’s voice crack when he sees you for the first time, or reliving the exact emotions you felt as you exchanged vows. I want you to be able to look back on your film in the highs and lows of your marriage, through losses and celebrations. It’s about way more than a wedding day, it’s about preserving memories and stories for years to come.
Get to Know Me!
I’ve been married to my husband, David, since 2013. We live in Austin with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Maggie and Riggins, and our eight chickens, one of which is named Hilary Fluff.
I studied documentary filmmaking at the University of Texas (hook ‘em!) and it was alright alright alright.
I love Jesus and believe that being a creative is just a small reflection of a big Creator.
I’m an Enneagram one / ESFJ / Hufflepuff
When I’m not shooting weddings, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, watching trashy reality TV, participating in the cult known as Crossfit, and doing my general best to keep Austin weird.
Love From Past Brides
“I had been looking into a lot of videographers and their work but I felt many had the same overall style despite all the different couples and personalities. If you look through Emilee's work you can see the variety and uniqueness. She truly gets to know your personality as a couple and tries to bring your vision to life. On top of her great work, she's just an awesome person to work with! I had soooo much fun working with her from start to finish. She was such a critical part of my wedding day team.”

The Process
01
So you wanna be friends?
I want to hear all about you and your love story! Once you reach out, we’ll set up a time to chat, get to know each other, and talk through the video process. I place a high value on getting to know each of my couples deeply and personally, and if that’s not you that’s totally cool. I want to make sure that we’re a good fit and that I’m the right person to capture your day!
02
Ok, we’re like, totally friends now!
Now that you’ve secured your wedding date, you’ll receive a survey covering everything there is to know about your story and your video preferences. I want to get to know your taste in music, your favorite TV shows or movies, what you like to do for fun, and what’s most important to you on your wedding day. A month out from the wedding, we’ll have one last check in to go over all the final details!

Besties for the resties
You can rest easy knowing that your day is being documented with care and intention. No special moment is overlooked, even the unexpected ones. After your wedding day you can trust that I’m working hard to edit your story in a way that reflects you, your style, and your story. Each story is unique, and I pour my heart and soul into making sure every single film is perfectly tailored to each couple.
