WEDDING CINEMATOGRAPHER BASED IN Virginia
IMMERSIVE ART THAT BRINGS YOU BACK HOME
OWNER & LEAD FILMMAKER
MCKENZIE MICHAEL
Mckenzie founded Travel House Films in 2016 with a desire to tell true stories that are deeply meaningful to people. She is an intentional wedding cinematographer, who has a natural sense for organic storytelling through visuals and audio.
Every wedding film honors the history of the couple, the emotions of present moments, and the future journey ahead.
After years of weddings, including her own intimate wedding in Italy, Mckenzie has developed a style that connects deeply with its intended viewers.
This is about more than a wedding video. This is immersive art that brings you back home.

WHAT DRIVES ME
01 CINEMATIC DOCUMENTARY
This is how I describe my style. I love beautiful cinema, candid audio, and allowing you to stay in each moment while the camera rolls.
02 THANKFULNESS
My favorite couples are thankful during every event of their wedding day. And I feel enormously blessed that my job is to create deeply meaningful family-oriented films.
03 FAMILY
Celebrating family members is constantly on my mind. Even a family member who wasn’t able to attend should feel like they were present through the film.
04 UNDISTRACTED MOMENTS
My setup is as minimal as possible, yet still professional, so as not to be distracting to the moments.
05 JESUS THE FOUNDATION
To be fully known and yet fully loved is the beauty of marriage and it is the beauty of Jesus. This unwavering love of Christ drives my art, because ultimately nothing is more precious to me than Him.

My Love Story
FAMILY
My husband, Jonathan, is my best friend and such an inspiration to me. We met in India in 2017 while I was working on a video project for his dad’s ministry. We connected on our foundational faith in Jesus, our love for our businesses and our family values.
We love weaving together Indian hospitality, American drive, and global impact.
And we love our growing family! We have the sweetest little boy and now a baby girl too.
While Jonathan doesn’t work weddings with me, his natural eye for art and quality inspires my work regularly.
Mckenzie
“I cry every time I watch our wedding film…”
Mckenzie was so thoughtful, from our very first call to the very last edit. Our wedding film had all of our big moments beautifully curated, but also included the small details and true emotions of the day. Mckenzie's artistic eye and editing skills combined with her true kindness and professionalism created a video that was timeless, thoughtful, and so unique to us as a couple.

We've received SO many compliments on our wedding film stating that it is not just a "highlight video," but shows my husband and I as a couple. I can't praise Travel House Films enough! What McKenzie and her team has to offer is truly unique!
Jo & Pepe
“I can not recommend Travel House enough! They were so easy to work with and did a great job focusing on what was most important to us. I cry every time I watch our wedding film, and I’ve watched it no less than 1000 times! Our video was more than I could have ever imagined.”
