How It All Started

Where I Am

My journey began in 2018, when I started experimenting with my mom’s new camera, curious to learn every setting and angle I could. Around that same time, I began creating announcement videos for my church’s youth group and helping run the broadcast for my church. Even then, I was drawn to more than just capturing an image—I was passionate about storytelling and finding creative ways to connect with people through video.

That curiosity quickly turned into a passion. I took the camera everywhere, filming everyday moments and learning through experience. Eventually, I bought my own gear and started capturing events around the community, starting with my church and our regional fair. I realized that sharing real, joy-filled moments through film could bring people together, and that’s when Elijah Lee Productions was born.

Today, I focus on wedding films and commercial broadcast productions, telling stories that are both meaningful and impactful. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel in-state and out-of-state, working on larger production sets for short films, commercials, and broadcast projects—each one helping me grow and connect with more incredible people.

Through it all, one thing has stayed the same: I love meeting new people and helping them tell their story.

Let’s create your story together.

Whether you’re planning your wedding, launching your brand, or dreaming up something new—I’d love to help bring your vision to life through film.
