As a kid, I was always filming myself on our old video and cassette recorder, rewatching clips of me singing early 2000s songs. As I got older, that turned into filming moments with friends and family, especially while traveling, and creating little videos to look back on.
It wasn’t until after I had my first daughter that I really understood how important it is to document everything. Time goes so fast, and eventually this life becomes a memory. I never want to forget what those memories felt like.
Being trusted to preserve other people’s memories is something I don’t take lightly. My goal is to be more than just your wedding vendor. I want to feel like a friend, someone you feel comfortable with. I want you to feel relieved and thankful you hired me, and confident in your film.
I also aim to be a calm presence on your wedding day, allowing you to be fully present while I capture everything as it naturally unfolds.
My mission at Media by Meriah is to showcase emotion and feeling through cinematic storytelling that highlights both the moments and the audio, allowing you to remember the day just as it happened. My vision is to capture the feeling found in raw, imperfect moments so you can be fully present without focusing on the camera.
Life is a gift and tomorrow isn't promised.
Emotion filled.

"I cannot recommend Meriah enough!!!!! I found Meriah on instagram while searching for a videographer that matched my style and was in the right price point and I was so excited when I found Meriah's page! She is SUCH a kind and genuine human, so easy to communicate with, and you can tell that she truly enjoys her job. She puts a lot of heart into her clients and it is so evident through her films. Meriah has so much to offer, from family to elopements to weddings and beyond! I am so grateful Meriah travelled all the way to Idaho to film our wedding. We ADORE her and will definitely be contacting her in the future for more things as our family grows. Hire her, just do it!!!!!!"
"Wow, where do I even start. If I can convince you to invest in one thing, it would be Meriah as your videographer. Every little details and more was captured in our video. Even little conversations I don’t remember or didn’t witness, I now have a full video to look back on forever. Whether it was laughter or real reactions and emotions of family and friends, She captured it. She made everything very seamless and I never had to stress. Our wedding video was truly everything and more, we’ve watched it so many times. We’ve laughed, cried and were just so grateful to be able to watch this video and be able to share this video with our future family. HIGHLY recommend her!"
"Seriously the BEST EVER! When my husband and I got engaged and before we even had our venue booked we knew we were asking Meriah to be our videographer! She is not only a life long friend that is more like family but she is just so incredible at capturing our families biggest moments. From not only doing our wedding film, we were also lucky enough to have her do a little baby announcement video for our first baby girl. Then the following year when we were pregnant with our second, she did our maternity photos and then newborn photos as a new family of 4! Can’t wait for more family videos and photos for many many many years to come!🩷"
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.
Being able to film a destination wedding on St. Simons Island was the perfect end to my 2025 wedding season. Hearing the oceans, swaying palm trees, and the warmth of the island sun, was something I'll never forget. Documenting K & Js wedding with their closest family and friends was the perfect way to spend my time in Georgia.
As a filmmaker with a documentary approach and the use of Super 8, I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold. Connection and building relationships are at the core of my work, making each client feel like a priority. Through clear communication and a focus on comfort, I create an experience where you can be fully present, allowing genuine, emotion-filled moments to be documented in a way that feels natural and true to you.
