Event video, photo & live production.
Weddings, galas, conferences, concerts — we shoot it like a film and stream it like a broadcast. Press play on a night you'll actually want to watch again.
One crew, one cohesive look — whether you need a three-minute film, a live broadcast, or a full gallery by morning.
Cinematic recap films that play back the energy of the night — tight cuts, real audio, a score that lands. Three to five minutes you'll share for years, plus a short teaser cut for socials.
Broadcast-quality multicam streams to YouTube, Vimeo, or your own page. Switched live on-site with graphics, lower-thirds, and a backup feed so remote guests never see a dropout.
A second shooter working the room for stills — candids, details, the speeches, the dance floor. Color-graded to match the film and delivered as a downloadable gallery.
Conference recaps, product launches, sizzle reels, and testimonial pieces. We translate a brand brief into footage that looks expensive and stays on message.
Licensed Part 107 drone work for venue reveals, establishing shots, and sweeping crowd pulls — the shot that turns a recap into a film. Flown safely, cleared where required.
A few nights we were lucky to be in the room for. Tap any frame to screen the still.
You get the look of cinema with the reliability of live production — and a crew that's done this in every kind of room.
Video, photo, and stream all graded to the same palette. Your recap, your stills, and your broadcast feel like one production — not three vendors who never met.
Backup cameras, backup audio, backup internet on every livestream. When the moment only happens once, nothing on our end is allowed to fail.
We've shot enough weddings, galas, and keynotes to know when to push in and when to disappear. You'll forget we're there until you see the cut.
A social teaser within 48 hours, the full film inside a week or two. We tell you the date and we hit it.
A clear four-stage pipeline so you always know what's shot, what's cut, and what's coming next.
We walk the venue or study the run-of-show, map camera positions and lighting, and lock a shot list with you. The night is planned before a frame rolls.
Our crew arrives early, sets up clean, and works the room — cinema cameras, gimbals, drone, and multicam where the broadcast needs it.
We log the footage, build the story, grade it to your cinematic look, and license a score that fits. You review, give notes, we refine.
Final film, social cuts, and the full photo gallery delivered online — ready for the web, the big screen, and your archive.
Beacon Media Co. started in 2014 when Dana Holloway — a documentary editor who'd grown tired of footage that never quite captured the feeling of the night — started shooting Maine weddings on weekends. Word traveled. Twelve years later, Beacon is a full production house on Commercial Street.
Cinematographers, a dedicated photographer, a live-switch operator, and editors — most of whom have worked together for years.
6K cinema cameras, cine primes, gimbals, a Part 107 drone, multicam switching, wireless audio, and broadcast lighting.
A studio and screening room at 55 Commercial St where we grade, review cuts, and shoot interviews and product pieces.
We've watched our film a dozen times and we still tear up at the same cut. Dana's crew was everywhere and nowhere — we never felt filmed, but they caught every moment that mattered.
The livestream didn't blink once across two days, and the recap film had our sponsors emailing to ask who shot it. Beacon is the only production team we'll book now.
We handed them a vague brief and got back a sizzle reel that looked like a national ad. Color, pacing, the aerial shot — all of it punched way above our budget.
Sample reviews shown for illustration.
For weddings and large events, three to six months is ideal — peak Maine wedding dates from June through October fill up first. That said, we hold a few slots for last-minute corporate and livestream work, so it's always worth a call.
Yes. Greater Portland is home base, but we regularly shoot across southern and midcoast Maine and into New Hampshire. Travel beyond about an hour is quoted as a flat trip fee, never a surprise.
Absolutely — it's one of our most-requested combos. We staff extra cameras so the live broadcast and the cinematic recap are captured simultaneously, then graded to match.
A social teaser lands within about 48 hours. The full highlight film is typically ready in five to ten business days, and your edited photo gallery in roughly the same window. Rush delivery is available.
