Our Vision
The couples that book with us work hard to plan their wedding. They have a certain idea how things should look, and care about details. We honour this level of commitment and create a product that matches their dedication.
We are based in Western Canada (Alberta), but we offer services to clients worldwide. We love working with couples that make high-quality cinematography a priority. Our vision is to capture the raw emotions and beautiful moments that can only best be captured through professional audio and video equipment, and we go well beyond what our clients might expect from a wedding filmmaker.
We believe that our couples deserve something exciting and awe-inspiring that they will watch for many, many years after their special date. Our films are created and professionally edited with input and feedback from our couples, which makes it almost impossible for us to film a generic movie that anyone could make.
Because we put people before profits, our clients often maintain a relationship with us for years afterwards, and celebrate their life achievements with us regularly. We care that we get it right, and will make sure we correct ourselves when we make mistakes. Our goal is that you are left feeling happy and grateful for what we have been able to create for you.
Meet Nathan.
My father rented a video camera when I was 11 years old. I loved the idea of creating movies with it, but because it was financially impossible at the time, I put the thought of pursuing filmmaking on the shelf.
Years later, after becoming a High School English teacher in Alberta, Canada, I regularly encouraged students to use film as a way to express thoughts and emotion. I even filmed a very low-budget short film with my Grade 8 English class, a chapter from The Hobbit. I was thrilled to be behind the camera, and it reignited the spark from when I was young.
I also enjoyed working with clients as a Hiking Guide with the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. Getting to help people overcome fears, embrace the outdoors and connect with nature has always been a passion, and I'm always up for including nature in my films.
Since stepping away from teaching, I've realized how well my skills in the classroom translate to creating wedding films. As a High School teacher, I've worked with hundreds of different personality types, and because of this I can personalize my films to match the style and preferences of my clients to give them a product that they love. I know the value of seeking good input and feedback in order to get a better result.

the beginnings & ongoing story of
Outright Adventure Films
What started as a video Nathan made for his daughter's missed graduation during the pandemic led to a request to make a wedding film. As time went on, Nathan upgraded his cameras, computers, drones and is currently being mentored by Alexander Ma, one of the world's leading Wedding Videographers.
Outright Adventure Films is currently run by Nathan Clark, and when the video projects demand it, he employs other shooters to accompany him. He oversees all editing and technical aspects of every film, and constantly improves his technique through feedback and advice from his mentors.
We shoot on Sony Cinema-grade cameras and lenses, and can create films in 4K on request for our clients. For clients that request drone shots in their films, we shoot on the latest DJI Mavic Pro series of drones, which provide us with the highest level of detail and colour range. Our clients often are blown away by the shots and images we are able to pull from these cameras, but more importantly, how we use these to tell a richer, more dynamic story and enhance the visuals in a way that makes the story come alive.
You killed it. You really made something special here. Anyone that uses you will be very lucky!

Just wow! I love it! We all love it! I don’t think I can adequately express my feelings about this, but you’ve captured one of my most favourite days ever and I couldn’t be happier with it. Tears are flowing. Thank you! Thank you!

There are no words...the essence of [our] relationship and the incredible day are so beautifully captured. Thank you!
