Storytelling, Storyboards, and Short Films for Special Events

Storyboards for photographers

Each individual has their own story! When it’s time to come together and celebrate, we can help you capture and document milestone moments powerfully.

At Saint James Studios, we will create a compelling, authentic, cohesive storyline — along with storyboards — so that your videographer knows exactly what to shoot! Or, our award-winning cinematographers can create a beautiful short film for you.

We’ll compel your audience and shape the narrative in the way you want it to be told. We’ll spend the time, and make decisions, that set up your videographer — our ours — for success. 

Before you go spending a bunch of money on a videographer, think about what your narrative is and build that story first. We can help you create something impressive, emotional, genuine, and timeless to bring even more connection, meaning, and celebration to your special event.

Our narrative-creation process includes:

  • Interviews. It’s important that the story matches your vision! We’ll discuss your special person, your audience, and what you want to feature most. We’ll get to know the important details that make this story and its players truly unique.

Want to use your own videographer? We’ll provide:
Scripted moments and loose storyboards to give your videographer clear direction. 

OR, we can handle everything!
Want our expertise from start to finish? We’ll do the videography, too. Our amazing videographers at SJS will come, shoot, interview — and bring this story to life beautifully. With cinematography that meets our exceedingly-high standards, we will craft a standalone piece with a timeless quality that can be enjoyed for generations.

If you’re planning to do a video for a special event, let’s make it truly special! We will bring the right team together to help plan your:

  • Mitzvahs
  • Weddings
  • Quinceañeras
  • Sweet 16s
  • Anniversaries
  • Memorials
