About Emilee Guidorzi Films

Hey there!

I’m Emilee, an Austin-based wedding and branding filmmaker based in Austin, Texas.

I like to describe my storytelling style as honest, intentional, and timeless. I want to create a piece of art that’s meaningful and personal to who you are, not some overly staged production. And doing that requires thoughtfulness and intentionality to see the whole person and what they’re about. It requires sensitivity, the ability to feel what others are feeling, to read the emotions of a moment and know when to let it play out fully or when to put the camera down. That’s the sort of thing that helps tell a great story.

And by the end of your wedding day, I want you to feel like I’m your true friend and your biggest cheerleader. So, are you ready to do this thing?

What’s up with the last name?

Well you can blame my very Italian husband, and you can pronounce it however you like. “Guh-door-zee” is fine, or you can say it the really Italian way, “Gwee-door-si”, with a little Italian hand gesture in the air. Tomato, tomato.

My Approach

I believe the key to a great wedding film comes from caring deeply about each and every couple. I strive to get to know my couples personally beforehand so that trust and vulnerability are already established before a camera is ever picked up. I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you got to hang out with your friend, not a camera operator all day.

What Inspires Me

There’s something about video that photo just can’t quite capture. Seeing the tears roll down your husband’s cheek as you walk down the aisle, hearing your dad’s voice crack when he sees you for the first time, or reliving the exact emotions you felt as you exchanged vows. I want you to be able to look back on your film in the highs and lows of your marriage, through losses and celebrations. It’s about way more than a wedding day, it’s about preserving memories and stories for years to come.

Get to Know Me!

I’ve been married to my husband, David, since 2013. We live in Austin with our son, Cillian, our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Maggie and Riggins, and our seven chickens, one of which is named Hilary Fluff.

I studied documentary filmmaking at the University of Texas (hook ‘em!) and it was alright alright alright.
I love Jesus and believe that being a creative is just a small reflection of a big Creator.
When I’m not shooting weddings, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, watching trashy reality TV, participating in the cult known as Crossfit, and doing my general best to keep Austin weird.
