Josh & Carrie Love Filming Weddings (And It Shows!)
Timeless, Natural, Heirloom Films
Meet the local husband and wife team behind Covert Films. They get genuinely excited about your big day, and it comes through in every film they create. After 200+ weddings, they're still thrilled to capture each couple's unique story.
They're not just standing behind cameras during your ceremony. They're silently cheering when you nail your vows and grinning when they catch those perfect candid moments. Their natural, timeless style means your film will look amazing years from now, not dated like yesterday's trends.
Since they handle both photography and videography, you get one beautiful story without managing multiple vendors. They provide every couple with an optional pre-marriage session here in Wake Forest so you feel totally comfortable on your wedding day.
Want to work with people who are as excited about your wedding as you are? Check out CovertOpFilms.com and mention The WYRE sent you! You might end up with two new friends who happen to create incredible films.
