What traditional guest books miss — voice, personality, presence. Most guest books end up packed away in a drawer — filled with quick signatures and generic wishes. But what about the sound of your best friend’s laugh? Or your grandma’s advice in her own voice? Or the energy of a tipsy, heartfelt toast no one saw coming? These are the real moments couples regret not capturing — the ones that fade unless someone is there to film them.
Unscripted transforms your cocktail hour or reception into a story-sharing lounge, inviting guests to record heartfelt messages, hilarious memories, and candid advice. With professional lighting, audio, and gentle prompts, even the shyest friends feel comfortable opening up. What you get is a beautifully edited highlight film full of love, personality, and surprises—forever preserved in motion.
At Hopkins Creative Studio, we don’t just record what happens — we reveal what it means. Our background in filmmaking and love for candid, cinematic storytelling drives everything we create. That’s why “Unscripted” isn’t just a guest book — it’s an heirloom. We’ll make your people feel relaxed and seen, so what they share on camera feels natural, true, and beautiful.
Add-on pricing when booked with a Wedding Film Collection: $750
We’ll set up a beautifully styled video booth at your cocktail hour or reception. Guests are gently invited to step in and share a message. No pressure. All heart. We capture it with professional lighting + audio. After the wedding, you’ll receive a uncut film with all the
clips — raw, moving, and completely one-of-a-kind.
"We didn’t realize how much we’d treasure these messages until we watched them. ‘Unscripted’ made us feel surrounded by love all over again — and gave us voices to revisit for years to come."
"We laughed, we cried, and we got to hear from people we didn’t even get to speak with much on the wedding day."
