About Dan Kirkness, Wedding Videographer

Hello! I’m Dan Kirkness, the wedding videographer, editor, and producer behind Video Keepsakes wedding videos, based in the Ottawa Valley.

2024 is my 20th year of doing what I love. Business continues to grow, as does the number of kind reviews of my work. I’d like to think that means I’m continuing to improve my craft. I’ve always believed that when one stops improving, it’s time to find something else to do, and I’d like to continue making wedding videos for many years to come. What a fun job I have – I’m invited to the most important day in a couple’s life, and a party every Saturday night!

Over the last 20 years, I’ve traveled near and far to videotape nearly 300 weddings. In year one, it was just one standard definition camera and a tripod. Then, at least 2 and as many as 4 high-definition cameras and multiple audio sources, and in 2024 a huge upgrade in equipment to this year's videos will look better than ever!

I love what I do because I believe that nothing can capture the whole story and the emotion of a wedding day like a wedding video can. Happy couples have told me that their wedding video was the single most important investment they made when it came to cherishing their day’s special memories—and the friends and family who came together to help make the day so special.

But don’t take my word for it. I invite you to read some of the kind reviews from couples that I’ve worked with in the past. While you’re at it, browse some sample wedding videos and have a look at the video packages that I offer.

Thanks for stopping by my website!

Dan
