Hi friend, I'm Dillan
Nicknames
I have been growing Dillan Ray Films for 5 years. It all started when I was in high school and I decided to spend my first paycheck from my summer job, on a camera. It wasn’t until later in life that I would take the plunge and pursue videography as a career.
Since then, I’ve been continually telling stories here in Minnesota and around the Midwest.
​
I love breakfast, the beach, and my wife Emily!

My wife and I remember our own wedding well. I was a ball of nerves and Emily felt rushed all day long. If that wasn't bad enough, we now have to look at those stressed-out-faces whenever we watch our wedding film. #sad
​
That's why 5 years (& 130+ weddings) ago I made the decision to film weddings for couples who can look back on the story of their day and smile for decades of anniversaries.
​
Now, we help couples like you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Want to see how we do it?

DRF
I believe that memories are the greatest investment when it comes to your wedding day and that everyone should have a wedding video.
Story-driven and service-oriented, we are passionate about capturing love and getting to know our couples. We’re based in the Minneapolis area but we will literally travel anywhere, following love to the ends of the earth.

the reasons we celebrate
We believe in creating wedding films that do more than just document one day – we believe in creating wedding films that encapsulate the important, the crazy, the happy, and the sad – the reasons why you decided to have such a big day in the first place.
Your wedding should be an adventure!
LEGACY
Your film is one of the most tangible ways to relive your wedding. It is the holder of memories, the keeper of moments. The gift to yourselves to treasure your love story forever.
MOVEMENT
You don’t live life in freeze frame moments. You laugh, you listen, you move, you feel. Video allows you to savor every detail of the experience, creating memories through recorded real life moments.
CONNECTION
We want to know who you are — raw and unedited. We promise to listen, to learn, and to care, telling your story authentically and honestly.
FAQ
I am passionate about creating an experience that goes beyond the wedding day. I want to be a coach, an encourager, an advocate, and a friend. I want to document your day and join you on the dance floor.
I Can't Help But Give It My All
I limit the number of weddings I film each year
to care for, serve, and focus on you fully. ​​​​​​​
This means I'm here to give you my all.
