The eyes tell the story and are the window to the soul. It is my focus when I capture the bride and groom, the family and the loved ones, to find and tell their story and to shine a light on the interconnection of their souls.

Gaskell Eyes Productions is the creative enterprise of Steve Gaskell, cinematographer and editor.

Steve learned his craft at the Miami International University of Art and Design, where he earned an MFA in Film Production in 2016. There he learned the skills of visual storytelling, which forms the foundation of everything that he creates today.

He gained valuable on the job experience working for several national Wedding Film and Photography studios. In very little time Steve was killing it filming weddings of all shapes and sizes, from the Florida Keys, to West Palm Beach, to his backyard in Coral Gables, and venturing to all corners of the state of Florida.

Always ready to up his game, Steve took up aerial filming in 2018. This has quickly become an amazing aspect of what Steve delivers with his wedding films. Steve is FAA certified, and fully insured for UAS operations. Every flight is planned with an emphasis on safety and strictly adheres to governing laws and regulations, including FAA pre-flight authorization as required.

What motivates Steve to this day is the sheer variety and scope of the possibilities for filming a wedding day. At the center, of course, is the tender and sweet moments between the couple and their family and friends.

Some of my recent favorites

ENGAGEMENT LOVE STORY

In 2020, I experimented with a new wedding celebration film form, the Engagement / Love Story. I actually had a give-away so that I could experiment with this form. This also to opportunity to get more experience directing couples during the romantics section of a photo shoot.

This is Torrie and Chase's Engagement Love Story. They were engaged on March 29, 2019, and like a lot of people, have had to adjust their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opted for a small wedding at Bowditch Point Park on Fort Myers Beach. That is where we filmed this Engagement Film. Talk about cinematic! I flew a little drone too, which added some cools shots. We actually covered a lot of ground - as we also did an interview segment - where Torie and Chase were able to tell their love story. They were very cute and genuine - so in love.

WEDDING LOVE NOTE

The locations were so beautiful for this wedding celebration - so cinematic. St. Ann’s Catholic Church in West Palm Beach had wonderful light, and the pagontry was epic. The reception was in a location called the Hippie House. The building, grounds, table settings, cocktail ambience, dance vibe with the DJ Lexy, and a Cuban trio band that I recently saw perform at a popular music spot on Calle Ocho! WOW!!

WEDDING LOVE STORY

A beautiful couple married at the picturesque Florida Keys landmark - What more could you ask for?

WEDDING LOVE STORY

This is from pre-pandemic times, but I realized for some reason I wasn’t featuring it in my Highlight Films section. So, I am breaking it out now. This film has so much heart. As much as I am about the visuals (and I am all about the visuals), there is nothing that replaces the power of the spoken word. This film has such heartfelt feeling and love in the spoken word. Of course, having a happy and stylish couple and family and friends, celebrating their marriage in a boutique Miami Beach hotel with classic styling and charm, and the visuals ain’t too shabby either!

WEDDING DRONE / AERIAL FOOTAGE

This is one is just pure Drone Eye Candy! It is somewhat out of the vault, as it was shot a while ago. I think it shows - when you have the venue - sometimes the only option to truly do it justice is with aerial shots.

Biltmore Hotel - take it away!!!!
