When it comes to preserving the magic of your wedding day, few do it with the heart, purpose, and dimension that RoTi Films brings to the table as a videographer.. We had the pleasure of talking with the talent behind the lens to explore his creative journey, distinctive style, and advice for couples considering wedding videography.
🎥 A Creative Journey Rooted in Love and Music
RoTi’s story begins in the Bahamas, where he was immersed in a rich musical heritage - his father and grandparents both musicians. He grew up surrounded by the sounds of love and community, which naturally led him toward a creative life. With degrees in communications, graphic design, and audio engineering, his early career was shaped through work with the Joyce Meyer Ministries.
It wasn’t until the pandemic that he discovered a new calling, telling love stories on film. Inspired by his wife writing a book and later creating a web series about their own love story “Easy Love: The Love She Didn't See Coming”, he purchased his first camera and began exploring videography. One project led to another, and soon, wedding videography became more than a job, it became a purpose.

💍 From First Shoot to Full-Time Filmmaker
His first wedding as a videographer was during the height of COVID, a friend's ceremony he filmed for free. It was a lesson in emotional awareness, preparation, and creating space for people to feel comfortable. Since then, RoTi has refined a unique approach that goes beyond documenting the couple - it’s about capturing the essence of the day through everyone involved.
He seeks permission to connect with parents, best friends, and wedding party members to uncover the layers of each love story. “Those people see the couple in a way no one else does,” he shared. “To tell the full story, you need all the perspectives.”
🎬 A Videography Style That Stands Apart
When asked to describe his style in three words, RoTi didn’t hesitate: Love. Purpose. Intention.
Love is the heartbeat of every frame he captures. Purpose drives the storytelling, and intention is what ties it all together - from music selection and shot composition to the emotional tone of each scene. With a background in music and audio engineering, he brings a unique edge to editing, syncing moments to specific beats and musical notes for maximum emotional impact.
🎞 What to Expect When Working With RoTi Films
RoTi’s process is grounded in authenticity and collaboration. It begins with an honest conversation to see if there’s alignment between him and the couple. From there, communication continues throughout the planning process. A month before the wedding, he checks in with a detailed shot list and final prep.
On the wedding day, Rorey will arrive professionally dressed - matching the celebration's energy and blending seamlessly into the moment. Guests feel at ease, which allows for genuine, unscripted footage. Within a day or two, couples receive a sneak peek wedding reel, and the full highlight film is delivered within six weeks.
🧠 Advice for Couples: Be Present, Be Yourself
A recurring theme in our conversation with RoTi was authenticity. He encourages couples to relax, stay present, and trust the process. “The goal is for you to watch your wedding film and see your true selves, not a version you don’t recognize.”
And for those debating whether to hire a professional? “You can’t replicate this on an iPhone,” RoTi says. “There’s so much more to wedding videography than pressing record. It’s lighting, timing, emotion, sound, and storytelling, all wrapped into one. This is your legacy.”
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a full-scale celebration, RoTi Films captures more than just footage, he captures the soul of your story. And that’s something truly worth remembering.
