Landmark Wedding Films (LWF, LLC) is a St. Paul, Minnesota-based company that specializes in telling the stories behind a couple’s wedding experience. It was created by partners Paul Markland and Jim Maloney, whose passion for creative storytelling first brought them together in 2002 to produce the award-winning public television program “Back on the Mississippi – Hidden Trails, Offbeat Tails”, along with their friend Chuck Strinz.
The company is committed to continuous improvement in the quality and creativity of its films. “Every wedding gives us exciting new ways to tell a couple’s story,” says Markland. “For example, a short time ago, I never dreamed our wedding films would feature stories about a skydiving groom, a London engagement, a two-continent reception (complete with a breathtaking fireworks display), an harmonica-playing grandfather, or a groom who piloted his C-130 back from Iraq just days before his wedding. We love telling stories that excite, delight, and help couples relive the magic of the happiest time in their lives!”
The company operates two production studios in St. Paul, Minnesota and works closely with leading videographers, photographers, writers, and artists to create their films. They are active members of various national and local professional associations including:
WEVA, Int’l - Wedding and Event Videographer’s Association, International
MPVA – Minnesota Professional Videographer’s Association
TCBA – Twin Cities Bridal Association
