hudson vernon
Hey there! My name is Hudson. I’m a husband, filmmaker, dog dad and movie lover - I’ve filmed weddings for over 6 years, 4 of those as my full time job. I also do documentaries and the occasional commercial project. None of this is possible without the support and love of my wife, Hannah. She's a photographer and while we have our own brands, we work together frequently.
I'm always looking to meet new people and hear new stories. If you feel like we'd be a good fit for your wedding or project, feel free to fill out a form or email me at info@weddingsbyhudson.com

"My biggest hope within my career is that my couples get to experience their wedding day authentically. A close second is that their wedding film can be shown to their kids, grandkids and is preserved alongside family heirlooms."

"My best work comes from a place of compassion and reverence for the moments unfolding in front of my camera. What keeps me centered on that is documenting my own life - Our quiet life in portland, my daily walks with oreo and the everyday moments that go by quickly.
I am inspired by documentaries, the beautiful pnw, poetry, art, music and hearing stories"
My best work comes from a place of compassion and reverence for the moments unfolding in front of my camera. What keeps me centered on that is documenting my own life - Our quiet life in portland, my daily walks with oreo and the everyday moments that go by quickly. How i film weddings is the same way i document my life.
I am inspired by movies, the beautiful pnw, poetry, art, music and storytelling.
My approach to weddings is closest to Cinéma vérité - an unobtrusive documentary style developed in the 1950's. Read more about it here
Hudson and Hannah were dream vendors to have on our wedding day!!!!!! They were so cool, calm and collected, and not to mention, are so beyond talented. I got so many compliments on how they were some of the best photo/video people have seen at a wedding because you barely knew they were there, but still produced the most insane pics & vids. We love you Hudson and Hannah!!!!!!

As a wedding photographer I’ve worked with a lot of videographers and Hudson is at the top of my list of preferred vendors. His work is brilliant, he has great bedside manner at weddings that’s not necessarily a common characteristic among all wedding vendors. You don’t always know he’s there but he manages to capture everything he needs to make these purposeful and emotionally compelling films.

We couldn't have asked for a better videographer for our wedding day. Hudson is incredibly talented, intentional, and creative, and he made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout all of the filming. We were amazed when we received our videos back! His artistic storytelling is so unique, and he captured our day in such a beautiful way specific to us as a couple. We couldn't recommend him more! We're so thankful to have our videos to look back on forever.
