Meet your filmmaker
Jimmy Nelson
Arizona Wedding Videographer
SO JIMMY… WHY WEDDING FILMS?
Wedding filmmaking wasn’t always the plan for me, but looking back, it makes perfect sense.
It started when I was 13, filming skateboard sessions with my friends. Those videos weren’t polished, but they taught me something important — video has a way of preserving moments long after they’ve passed.
After losing a close friend, those old clips became priceless. They weren’t just recordings — they were a way to laugh together again, even when he was gone.
That understanding is what eventually led me to weddings. Not for the spectacle, but for the meaning. The quiet exchanges. The emotions you don’t plan for. The moments that only happen once.
That’s what continues to guide my work today — creating films that feel emotional, lasting, and worth returning to.
NICE TO MEET YOU – I’M JIMMY!
You’re not just planning a wedding — you’re creating a day filled with moments you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life.
I’m the filmmaker behind J Nelson Films, and I’ll be there with you throughout your wedding day — steady, attentive, and focused on what matters most. My role is to help you feel comfortable and taken care of, while quietly capturing the moments that unfold.
When things move fast, I stay calm. When moments happen naturally, I’m ready. And when it’s time to step in, I do so with care — always focused on helping you feel confident and at ease.
READY TO CONNECT?
If you want a wedding film that feels real, relaxed, and true to you, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
THIS IS MY WHY…
Wedding days I love documenting
These films represent the kind of weddings I’m most drawn to — days that feel real, relaxed, and emotionally honest.
When couples trust the process and stay present with each other, the moments unfold naturally — and the films gain depth without anything feeling forced.
