Palmetto Wedding Films

Palmetto Wedding Films is a Charleston-based wedding videography studio founded and led by Jessie Smith, a professional filmmaker with over 20 years of experience. Featured in People Magazine, Southern Living, and Charleston Weddings, Jessie creates immersive, authentic, and vibrant cinematic wedding films that tell each couple's unique story in full.

Raised by a psychiatrist and psychologist, Jessie has an intuitive ability to read the room, anticipate emotional moments, and capture them naturally — from the big milestones to the quiet in-between moments that become the most cherished memories. Her discreet approach means couples and guests stay in the moment while Jessie works seamlessly in the background.

Every client receives a personalized film experience: detailed pre-wedding questionnaires, custom film planning, and always two videographers on the wedding day for comprehensive coverage. Films are delivered in multiple formats including a feature film, highlight reels, and social media cuts. Jessie has filmed at Charleston's most celebrated venues including Lowndes Grove, Legare Waring House, Boone Hall, The Dunlin, and The Dewberry.

Jessie consistently earns 5-star reviews across all major platforms for her communication, artistry, and final product quality.
