Husband & Wife, Photo & Video Wedding Team
Let's get to know each other. My name is Steven and my wife is Ellie. We started this journey as a husband and wife photo & video wedding team in 2023 originally as a part time job to supplement our income. However we quickly fell in love with capturing the magic, spark, and romance of wedding films. After branching into video after starting in the photo side of things we couldn't get enough. Falling down the rabbit hole of creatively and gear we ended up booking more and more, it's like they say if you love what you do it doesn't feel like work. Thats pretty much the short story of how we came to be what we are now. Full time wedding photographer videographers who absolutely treasure every moment with our couples creating and crafting our art, with your vision of your day to create stunning visuals to last a lifetime. Now just a short time since then we have already made our mark in the industry so far in the running for Pittsburgh wedding videography businesses "in the burg" according to Pittsburgh magazine and user votes, not to mention our glowing reviews from past couples! We can't wait to see where we go in the coming years but we know that as long as we keep putting our couples first, and continue to craft our art forms learning and growing as we continue this journey that we will only continue to grow!

Ellie (my wife) and I create with an exceptional combination of modern artistic techniques and traditional vintage elements. Do you have a preference for vintage film aesthetics? The film photography service we offer gives your wedding album an elegant nostalgic appearance with an editorial touch. If you desire a vintage home movie feeling then our Super 8 wedding films will provide this dreamy retro effect. Our two wedding films include a cinematic highlights film (3-6 minutes) that resembles an epic movie trailer and a full-length documentary film (30+ minutes) which captures all the heartfelt speeches, ceremony, and first dances, as well as smaller details. We capture everything that happens during your special day so that all your memories of the day, hugs, and emotional moments remain preserved forever.

MEET STEVEN KEMERER
As the founder of Eternal Lens Media I bring my passion for love story capture through authentic artistic approaches with friendly service. Throughout your wedding journey from first talk to final delivery I maintain complete transparency and open communication because your wedding experience should feel as effortless as it is unforgettable. I dedicate myself to capturing the best Greater Pittsburgh wedding videography and photography by working closely with each couple to bring their vision to life while making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. My wife Ellie demonstrates exceptional second-shooting abilities which brings additional creative elements and detailed focus to capture every important moment. Our joint efforts produce beautiful wedding films and photographs which become your enduring treasures.
I've personally shot over 150 weddings and in some amazing venues, such as Phipps Conservatory, The Pennsylvanian, and Carnegie Museum of fine art to name a few. We shot in a mostly candid, documentary fashion generally posing you for only about 15-30 mins during the day and otherwise capturing moments as they happen. One of the main things we hear why couples chose us is for our laid back, enjoy your day while we capture it, style. Another reason couples say they went with us is for our authentic film, we are one of the best Pittsburgh film wedding photographers with our own in house darkroom for quicker turnaround times for you.

How do we choose the right wedding photographer and videographer?
The right team should match how you want your wedding to feel when you look back on it.
Some couples want guided, posed moments. Others want a more natural, documentary approach where nothing feels forced.
We focus on a candid, story-driven style—capturing real moments as they happen—while still stepping in when needed to make sure everything looks its best. If you’re drawn to authentic emotion over staged perfection, you’re in the right place.
