Claire Dorise Photos & Films

Indianapolis based Wedding Videographer & Film Photographer - Traveling Anywhere

Down-to-earth and color-filled wedding videos and film photography for couples, families, and creatives.

I’m Claire — an Indianapolis-based wedding videographer and film photographer, traveling anywhere to capture your cherished moments (and stories of impact over at stories&films!)

Inspired by my grandparents' perfectly labeled photo albums, vibrant 35mm film snapshots from my childhood, and the beauty it is to re-live a memory, I’m drawn to imagery that feels tender, real, and natural.

And to do that, I start with presentness. Capturing your wedding day, your family moments, & you just as you are. With a mostly documentary style approach and a little gentle guidance along the way, we’ll create imagery that is organic, intentional, & full of real moments of you & the ones you hold close.

It is a true gift to be welcomed into sacred moments, to be given the task to PRESERVE, to capture, and to create something to treasure.

Emotive Wedding Videos & Film Photography

Wedding films you'll show your grandbabies, your dinner guests, and that sweet neighbor next door. Film photographs you’ll frame for your parents, Polaroids tucked into the corners of your home. Moments that bring you back. Imagery that speaks.

I’m your classic nostalgic film lover that collects photo albums, gifts photo prints, takes lots of 35 mm photos, and loves Super 8. And I love to take that approach to your wedding, if that’s your thing.

I’m (loosely) based in Indianapolis, but practically always traveling—serving couples across the Midwest, the U.S., and beyond. So reach out no matter where ya are 🤍

If you’re looking for artful imagery created with intention for your wedding or other special occasion, please reach out! I would love to hear your story, know your vision, & create something worth cherishing with you.

  • Claire was the literal best and captured our day beautifully. It was the exact docu-style unstaged vibe I wanted, and she incorporated film into the video seamlessly. I can't wait to watch our wedding video every year and remember the day for how perfect it was. Extremely grateful and thankful.

  • There aren’t words to express how special our wedding day was to us but somehow Claire managed to capture it all and perfectly piece it together in our video, just as we remember. Claire’s kind and gentle manner put us at ease, making us feel so comfortable to be us in front of the camera. Her creativity is unmatched, resulting in one of my favourite keepsakes from our wedding day. When I look back at our day, I remember it exactly as it is edited in the video. She somehow jumped into our minds-eye and expressed every detail. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  • Claire has an incredible ability to make each session feel effortless and fun, as if we’re just hanging out together. Some of our favorite photos have been captured in moments when Claire allows the kids to explore, often discovering unique spots that inspire her creativity. Her keen eye for light, color, and composition always leaves me in awe. Thank you, Claire, for consistently making every experience unforgettable and for capturing the true spirit and joy of our family.
