Alex Ramey

Studio Director

I believe that films should inspire and captivate. Films should tell a story. I live by this mantra every day at Portland Event Films. Having grown up in Portland Oregon, I know that we are a very creative city. A city that expects the highest quality of artistic content. That is why I craft each of my film production services to best extoll these virtues. What started as a part-time gig DJ’ ing has grown into a full-service entertainment group. Working with me, you will notice right away that I see things a little differently from other videographers. I see weddings through the lens of an entertainer. My background in lighting and sound translates seamlessly to produce wedding films that are not only visually stunning but are also engineered to reproduce the highest quality audio so that no important moment is lost. I love the energy and the emotions that weddings bring out. Perfectly capturing those moments on film fuels my passion for the work I do. It is this drive for perfection that allows me to bring your most precious moments to life in a way that you will treasure forever.
