Cinematic Wedding Films by Gary Brown

in the Soulful Light of Santa Fe

At Tumbleweed Ranch, we believe that every love story deserves to be remembered—not just through photos, but through movement, voice, and the emotion only film can capture.

Our in-house wedding videographer, Gary Brown, brings over 30+ years of storytelling experience in broadcast, live events, and documentary filmmaking. A two-time Emmy Award-winning producer, Gary now offers his cinematic expertise to couples seeking meaningful, artfully composed wedding films in Santa Fe, across New Mexico, and beyond.

Gary is not just your filmmaker—he’s also one of the owners of Tumbleweed Ranch. In 2024, Gary and his partner Jackie celebrated their own wedding right here on the property. They know the light, the land, the rhythm of a wedding day at the ranch—because they’ve lived it. With that rare perspective, Gary brings a unique sensitivity and personal insight into every wedding film he creates.

Whether you're planning an elopement in the wild beauty of Northern New Mexico, a soulful wedding at our ranch, or a destination celebration elsewhere in the Southwest, Gary’s films are designed to reflect the essence of your day with authenticity and heart.

From Martha’s Vineyard to Santa Fe

As a wedding videographer on Martha’s Vineyard—one of the world’s most sought-after wedding destinations—I had the honor of capturing intimate celebrations set against breathtaking coastal backdrops.

I specialized in small to mid-sized weddings from 2 to 100 guests, offering beautifully crafted films grounded in elegance, honesty, and emotional depth.

Now based in Santa Fe, I bring that same passion for storytelling to the Southwest. Each film is a personal reflection of the couple, the landscape, and the sacred energy of the moment. My focus is on creating timeless, cinematic wedding films that reflect the unique spirit of your day. With a deep commitment to detail and emotion, I take the time in the edit room to ensure your love story becomes a treasured memory you'll return to again and again.

My Featured Wedding Films

Below, you’ll find a selection of my work—each film a heartfelt glimpse into the kind of storytelling I’m proud to offer.

Each couple’s story is unique—and so is each film. While the featured weddings below were captured along the coast, the heart of my work has always been about more than just the setting. It’s about human connection—the quiet glances, the shared laughter, the emotion in a parent’s voice, or the way your friends erupt into joy.

Now based in Santa Fe, I bring that same sensitivity to celebrations surrounded by sun-soaked mesas, desert light, and the soulful beauty of Northern New Mexico—crafting films that reflect not just where you are, but who you are and how it all felt.

I invite you to watch the samples below and imagine your own story brought to life.
