Stanton Giles

Founder / Filmmaker

THE NAME

Films by Stanton may sound simple, but it's a name I've seriously thought long and hard about. Close to a year of rebranding and years of figuring out my exact passion within the wedding world led to this name. My films are custom and made by only me. That means nobody else touches the editing, nobody else handles the camera, and nobody else talks to you before and after your wedding. I take pride in making every step of the process as refined as possible to give you the best experience.

Before wedding filmmaking, I was an engineer. I went to school for engineering to harness what creativity I felt in my mind, graduated, and worked as an engineer for 2 years before quitting to volunteer at an orphanage in Honduras. It was during this time away from engineering that I discovered a love of creative expression through videography. Now, years later, videography has taken me all over the world - from Iceland and Norway to Indonesia and Yosemite National Park, my passions fall most in line with my work when I am traveling to capture incredible love stories.

ABOUT ME

TRAVEL

FILMMAKING

IT ALL STARTED WITH TRAVEL. ITS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL PATH TO WATCH UNFOLD.

As I quit engineering, I stumbled into videography through travel. Taking video of waterfalls, epic mountains views, and adventures at sunrise stirred me on an emotional level. I gained my fervor for video through travel. After years of making travel films, I began to realize I was more drawn to story than I had been previously to just capturing incredibly beautiful scenes of nature. I've found that capturing emotional beauty through video to be more rewarding than natural beauty displayed through a travel video. Now, I am beyond grateful to get to travel to tell people's stories across the world.

"It's a beautiful thing when a career and a passion come together."
