Who We Are

WE MAKE
FILMS
PEOPLE
WATCH.

Smoke Free Productions is a video studio run by Jake Bensulock in Asheville, NC. We're small on purpose. Every project gets real attention, not a template and a timeline.

We make brand films for businesses that want video working as hard as they do. We shoot events that deserve to be remembered. And we make wedding films for couples who actually want to watch their video again — not skip through it.

Small crew. No fluff. Based in Asheville, available everywhere.

Wedding Films

We just launched our wedding division — and we're deliberately keeping it small. We're selectively booking a handful of 2026 and 2027 weddings while we build our portfolio under this brand. That means introductory rates, a filmmaker who will treat your day like a brand film, and more attention than you'd get from a studio with 40 dates on the calendar. If you're the kind of couple who cares more about the film than the formulas, let's talk.

Full day coverage • Highlight film • Full ceremony cut • Delivered in 8 weeks
From $2,000

Common Questions

FAQ.

How much does wedding videography cost in Asheville, NC?

Every wedding is different, so we price each project based on coverage time, travel, and deliverables. Most Asheville wedding videography packages start around $2,000 and go up from there depending on what you need. Reach out and we will send you a full breakdown with no pressure.

Do you travel outside of Asheville for weddings?

Yes. We are based in Asheville but regularly film weddings throughout western North Carolina, the greater Southeast, and destination weddings further afield. Travel fees apply outside a certain radius -- just ask and we will be upfront about it.

How long until we receive our wedding film?

Most highlight films are delivered within 6 to 8 weeks of your wedding date. Full ceremony cuts and longer edits may take a little longer. We will give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout.

What is the difference between a highlight film and a full-length film?

A highlight film is a cinematic 3 to 6 minute edit set to music -- the one you will watch on anniversaries and share with family. A full-length film captures the entire ceremony and key moments with full audio. Most couples get both. We include both in our standard wedding packages.

Can we choose the music for our wedding film?

Absolutely. We work with you to choose music that fits the feel of your day. We use properly licensed tracks so your film will never get muted or blocked on social media.

Do you work alongside wedding photographers?

All the time. We are experienced at working alongside photographers and other vendors without getting in each other's way. If you already have a photographer booked, let us know and we will coordinate in advance to make sure both teams get what they need.

Do you make brand films for businesses?

Yes. Brand films are one of our core services. We work with restaurants, retail brands, home service companies, and creatives across western NC to produce cinematic films that build trust and drive real results. Most brand film projects start at $2,000 and are delivered within two weeks of the shoot.

Can you handle both our wedding film and business video needs?

Absolutely. A lot of our couples are also business owners, and we love working with people on both sides. Whether you need a wedding film or a brand film for your company, the approach is the same - real storytelling, sharp craft, and video that actually gets used.

What makes a good brand film for a small business?

The best brand films do one thing: they make the viewer feel something before they think about price. A good brand film shows who you are, what you do differently, and why it matters — in under two minutes. We write a simple creative brief before every shoot so we know exactly what story we're telling before we touch a camera. Most clients see an immediate difference in how new customers talk about them after watching the film.

How long does a brand film or corporate video take to produce?

From first call to final delivery, most brand film projects take two to three weeks. That includes a pre-production call, a single shoot day, and a full post-production pass — edit, color grade, and audio mix. We move fast because we plan everything in advance. Rush turnarounds are available if you need it sooner.

Do you shoot corporate events and company gatherings?

Yes. Corporate event coverage is one of our most common requests — product launches, annual meetings, team retreats, fundraiser galas. We capture the highlights as they happen, then turn them into a polished recap film and short social clips you can use immediately. Everything is billed hourly with editing included, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

What areas of Asheville and western NC do you cover for weddings?

We're based in Asheville and regularly shoot weddings throughout the region — the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Brevard, Hendersonville, and venues deep in the mountains. No travel fee within about 60 miles of Asheville. Beyond that, we'll quote travel transparently and without surprises. We also take destination weddings when the date works.

We're a local Asheville business — do you offer any local rates?

Yes. We love working with local Asheville businesses and we're familiar with the market. If you're based in Asheville or western NC, mention it when you reach out — we can often avoid any travel costs entirely and structure a package that makes sense for where you are. We've worked with restaurants, contractors, real estate agents, retailers, and nonprofits across the region.
