Filmmakers first, wedding filmmakers second.
Nick graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2009 with a degree in Film & Video Production — then spent years learning that a degree doesn't hand you a career. He worked the edges of the industry on small sets and freelance gigs, and by 2015 was ready to sell his gear and walk away.
As a last effort, he entered an international 60-hour film challenge. The short that came out of it, Locked, went on to win four awards at festivals across Michigan, including Best Narrative Short at Made in Michigan. It proved the work was worth staying for.
“The biggest turning point wasn't winning awards — it was deciding not to quit.”
All told, our short films have six festival wins — Lone Wolf took 1st Place at Fortnight, Capital City — and our approach has been profiled in Voyage Michigan and Canvas Rebel.
That body of work became Media Potion, the production studio Nick and Brittany run together in Grayling — and Wedding Potion is its wedding studio. Brittany joined early and has been the other half of everything since.
Working with us means working directly with the owners. We understand your day and what matters to you before a single shot is planned — the camera is the last thing we think about, not the first. There's no second take at a wedding, so we get it right the first time.

Film & Video Production degree from Grand Valley State, working professionally since 2009. Couples consistently mention two things in their reviews — that he answers fast, and that they forgot he was there.

Brittany joined early and has been the other half of everything since. She shoots both photo and video for Wedding Potion.
We also work with a small, select group of associates we can call on if our own team is fully booked — and we'll always tell you before you book if your day would need one.
He never rushed to just "get it over with" or treated us like "just another client."
