About
I'm Rowe.
I film and edit every REG wedding myself. Before weddings, three years filming Alabama football taught me to read a room, work fast, and find the moments people remember most.
REG is based in Muscle Shoals, and the Shoals is home. I film weddings here and across North Alabama, and I travel the Southeast for couples getting married farther out. If your day is somewhere far, good. I'll bring the cameras.
I don't stage much. I watch, I roll, and I cut the film from what actually happened. The ring on the dresser, the program in your grandmother's hand, the breath before the doors open.
Before weddings
Three years on the sideline at Alabama.
Practices, game days, recruiting, photoshoots. Every kind of high-stakes shoot you can put a camera inside of, with a hundred thousand people watching and no second take.
That job taught me how to read a room, work fast under pressure, and find the moment people remember most. It's the kind of training that translates almost too well to a wedding day.
On the day
How I work.
mostly invisible, on purpose
- I.
I arrive early and stay out of the way. The dress on the door, the letters being read, your dad pacing the hall.
- II.
Two cameras on the vows, one on each of you, and a microphone close enough to catch the shake in your voice.
- III.
Your photographer gets their shot first, every time. We share the same air; we never fight for the same frame.
- IV.
I mic the officiant and record every word of the ceremony. The whole thing, not just the highlights.
- V.
I stay through the send-off, then go home and live inside your footage for a few weeks.
If we talk
A few things I'll tell you in the first ten minutes.
- I read every inquiry myself, and I answer it myself. The person on the email is the person beside you during the vows.
- I keep the calendar small on purpose. A limited number of weddings a year is how every film gets real time in the edit.
- Three seasons filming Alabama football taught me a moment only happens once. Yes, I got to hold the trophy.
- Summer is a wakesurf board behind the boat. If your venue has water, I'll find it.
- If it's duck season and I'm not at a wedding, I'm in waders before sunrise.
- Winter is a snowboard and a green dinosaur hoodie I refuse to retire.
- Ten years from now, it's the sound you'll miss most. Your vows in each other's voices, your dad's toast. So I record all of it, clean.
- If your wedding is somewhere far, good. I'll bring the cameras.
Off the clock
A Saturday without a wedding.
hunting, surfing, snow, and a little football
Is this you?
We'll get along if
- You want to hear the day, not just see it.
- You'd rather have honest than staged.
- You're fine with one filmmaker who's mostly invisible.
- You care about the vows and the toasts as much as the dance floor.
- Your wedding might be down the road or three time zones away, and either is fine by you.
Probably not the right fit if
- You want a crew of six and a drone light show.
- You want a music-video edit, cut to the beat, and not much talking.
- You need every moment posed and directed.
No hard feelings either way. I'm happy to point you to someone who does that well.
The film
Made to be lived with.
What I want from your wedding film is simple. I want it to feel like the day did.
I want you to put it on five years from now and laugh at the same parts your dad laughed at, hear your grandmother's voice the way you remember it, and remember the small things that get lost when you only have photos.

Say hello
If that sounds like the film you're picturing.
I'd love to hear about your day. Most couples reach out six to twelve months before the date.
