destination wedding photographer and videographer
South carolina + INTERNATIONAL
meet the artists
Hey, we’re Jen + Kayla—the team + couple behind Weaver Films + Photography
With cameras in hand and on the lookout for the best lighting, we’re here to help you relive your wedding day in the most cinematic, soul-stirring way imaginable.
We’re not just filming and photographing your wedding—we’re experiencing it with you. Laughing with your wedding party, dancing with your guests, adjusting your veil, and crying during your vows (Kayla is anyway). Think of us as part hype squad, part creative dream team, part honorary wedding guests.
Meet Jen
Videographer. Director. The extrovert with a camera.
Jen’s the filmmaker who’ll make you feel like the star of your own movie—because that’s exactly how she sees you.
With a background in media arts, music, and a killer kickball game, she brings high energy, precision and an obsession with story to every wedding day.
When she’s not capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments, she’s spoiling her wiener dogs (Mylie and Luke Skywalker), nerding out over Star Wars, sipping selzer, and traveling the country with Kayla—who she also happened to propose to in a custom-edited film, naturally.
Meet Kayla
Photographer. planner. Secret sentimentalist.
Kayla’s the one who cries at every wedding—and we love her for it.
A music-theory-turned-media-business-grad with a background in artist management, she’s the detail-loving, list-making, heart-forward half of this duo. She’s usually the one wrangling timelines, capturing tear-jerking candids, and dancing between shots at your reception.
When she’s not behind the lens, she’s filling the calendar with social events, dancing with Jen in the kitchen, or cooking up delicious vegan and gluten-free goodness for their family—including their son, Juanfer, and the previously mentioned weenie dogs.
dream team
we’re the
The yin and the yang. The creative fire and the calm.
We’re partners in life and in business which means we know how to communicate, collaborate, and create like nobody’s business.
Jen brings the vision. Kayla brings the logistics. Together, we’re calm under pressure, synced up on wedding day chaos, and fully invested in helping you feel seen, supported and celebrated.
We show up with backup plans, steady hands, and walkie-talkie-style headsets (for real) so we can be in two places at once and make sure we never miss a thing. Whether you work with us or our trusted associate team, you’ll always get that signature Weaver Films and Photography experience: cinematic, authentic and oh-so-full of heart.
“Jen and Kayla are so much fun to be around!!
They were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! We did an engagement video with them that turned out phenomenal and our wedding video is something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. They bring such creativity and try to make it a reflection of you and your partner and they kill it every time.”

Our Values
What matters to us?
Honestly, a lot.
But here’s the short version:
Communication
We don’t guess what matters to you—we ask. Then we listen (like, really listen). Your vision, your priorities, your people. That’s what guides everything we do.
Connection
We spend time getting to know you both, so we can capture the actual feel of your relationship—not just the poses. Your chemistry, your inside jokes, the way you look at each other. That’s the real story.
Intuition
After hundreds of weddings, we’ve developed a sixth sense for the moments that matter most. We’re always ready for that glance, that hug, that tear you didn’t know was coming.
Detail
We notice the tiny things. The way your dress moves in the wind. The flicker of nerves before the vows. The champagne bubbles. It’s those details that make your film and photos feel alive.
Adventure
Whether we’re filming in the South Carolina sun or a far-flung destination, we bring creativity, curiosity, and a can-do spirit. We’re here to make you look and feel incredible.
Inclusivity
proud LGBTQ+ and women-owned business.
Everyone’s welcome here.

As Seen IN
“My film absolutely blew me out of the water. Jen and Kayla have an eye for the DETAILS and they worked pure magic.
The attention to detail in the short clips they picked to make the highlight video was perfection. Each shot was meticulously curated and edited together to make my all time favorite movie. It’s not a video, it’s truly a FILM!”
Madeline + Adam
But this isn’t all about us
Here’s what we’ll do for you
We know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by all the wedding choices. That’s why we aim to keep things simple, collaborative, and grounded in you. We’ll help you plan for what matters most. We’ll guide you through every step. And on the day, we’ll capture it all so you can relive the joy, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the chaos… exactly as it happened.
This isn’t just videography and photography. This is your love story, told with care.
