The visionarY VIDEOGRAPHERS behind southwest wedding films
MEET BRAD
Brad Tillotson is a devoted husband to Amanda and proud father of two beautiful girls. His love for storytelling began back in high school, where he learned the art of video and editing alongside his youth pastor. That early spark grew into a lifelong passion, deepened through creative studies in college and an unforgettable trip to Alaska in 2009, where capturing breathtaking landscapes led him to film his first wedding.

By 2014, Brad was pursuing his craft full time, building a team and refining his approach to cinematic storytelling. Today, he specializes in creating timeless wedding films that capture the heart of each couple’s love story. For Brad, this work goes far beyond film—it’s about connecting deeply with couples, honoring their journey, and giving them a treasure they’ll hold for the rest of their lives.
Brad’s filming career has also given him the opportunity to be trusted with extraordinary projects, from documenting the nuptials of World Series–winning catcher Blake Swihart to filming politicians and social media influencers.
His passion has expanded beyond weddings to include creating marketing content for the sale of Patrick & Nancy Swayze’s ranch estate in New Mexico, and helping aid the sale of the famed 6666 Ranch in Texas as featured in Yellowstone.
His work has taken him across the globe—filming documentaries in war-torn regions of Africa, capturing stories of resilience in refugee camps and villages in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and producing fashion marketing in Mexico.
Reflecting on his journey, Brad shares,
“My career has been a diverse, passion-filled blessing. Sometimes I pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming, and I’m thankful to God for such great opportunities. In all these experiences, I truly love weddings as family is the foundation of our society, and filming where it all begins provides the greatest reward.”
When he’s not behind the camera, you’ll find Brad outdoors or playing hide-and-seek and card games with his family—the people who inspire his storytelling most.
