I am based in the lush + beautiful state of Oregon. Traveling around the globe to document weddings has been a pivital experience personally, and for my business.
My passion for filming really began when I became a mother. I realized just how precious life is and how fast it goes. My desire to cling onto moments was shifted when I started documenting my own family. And thats when I knew I wanted to do this for other families.
Hey I'm Meriah- a filmmaker based in the beautiful state of Oregon.
Here's my story:
In high school I got my first job working in the veterinary medicine field to which I stayed there for 6 years as a veterinary assistant, specializing in canine dentistry and monitoring anesthesia for surgical procedures. In 2020, I married my 8th grade sweetheart. We ditched the big wedding and eloped in Glacier National Park with a handful of our closest family members. We welcomed our first daughter in the winter of 2021 and our second daughter in the spring of 2024. After the birth of my first daughter, is when I became a full time mom with a dream of one day becoming a filmmaker. Well, as you can see, that dream has become my reality. The gift of artistically piecing together a sacred moment in a persons life as a return ticket to a memory, is simply the most rewarding feeling- much like motherhood.
Filming at a luxury jungle wedding venue- known as the Botanica, gives you the perfect mix of California with lush jungle plants and pristine landscaping showcasing beautiful water features. Ill be returning to California in the fall of 2025 to film a classic wedding at a quint lavender farm.
In the fall of 2023, I had the honor of documenting a destination wedding at an oceanside venue in Kauai. Colorful florals, palm trees, ocean sounds, and about 100 of their closest friends and family there to help celebrate S & I. A sunrise surf session with their friends to then getting dressed up in their wedding attire made for a storytelling + emotion packed day.
Traveling to Chiang Mai Thailand was a pivotal moment in my life. I left that country feeling so inspired and craving more destination weddings in places like this. Filming at the luxury Four Seasons Resort left me in awe. D & C travelled from the Philippines to have the most epic celebration with 150 of their friends and family.
Every love story deserves to be told. & my goal is to become more than just your wedding vendor- I want to be a friend of yours. Building a friendship on mutual trust, humor, and clear communication are all aspects i hope you feel during our time together.
I could write so much about Meriah. She is the sweetest person you could imagine, and beyond easy to work with. While filming our wedding, it truly just felt like a great friend behind the camera. Her talent is INSANE to say the least. We couldn’t have had a better fit on our most special day. She has the most incredible eye for videography, and made us feel like we were right back in Cabo on our wedding day. ♥️ I cherish her skills, and she has created the best memory for Bryce + I to always look back on and see the happiness that day held.
Meriah is one of those people who is warm and bright! You not only want her to be apart of your wedding day, but you want her to be your friend afterwards! Her talent is extraordinary. From capturing our favorite moments from our wedding day, to picking the perfect music to represent us; we will cherish our videos and relive our special day over and over again. She was wonderful working out details with and answering important questions; and even further she was very accommodating to our needs.
It takes an incredibly special person to capture the best day of your life. I can not thank Meriah more for her work, her patience, her kindness. She has incredible talent but her heart shows through in all her work. Thank you for being there with Ryan and I from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. We will cherish this memory forever.
