I think that in a very cheesy way, the meaning of our lives is just in all forms, not just romantically.

Weddings are a culmination of all the love in your life so far. In one single room, you have all the people who love you, all together, at the exact same time. And everyone has showed up simply to celebrate that you’re in love and you’re jumping head first into the deep end of life and all its endless worries and joys with another person who you love!
(Walk with me here…) Across all backgrounds, countries, and languages, the concept of love is universal.
to love
and be loved
My approach to wedding filmmaking is based on what I call “The Art of Noticing.”
It isn’t about setting up a perfect shot; it’s about capturing the magic that is already in the room: your best friend’s tears, your parents' laughter, the hugs and reunions, the unpredictable hiccups, bloopers, and gags. These are what make your wedding YOUR wedding.
I’m deeply passionate about creating wedding films because life is fast and fleeting, and how many days do you get with this much love in one room?
The more time that passes, the more cherished our memories become. Watching your wedding video back should feel like taking a step back into the day, sinking back into the feelings, and experiencing it all over again. You’re able to see yourselves exactly as you were in this slice of your life. You get to see loved ones who have grown or since passed on.
Being able to preserve all that in an authentic way is an unbelievable privilege for me.
Video has always been my niche, and I have the embarrassing high school vlogs to prove it. There is something about being able to watch back a moment in time that can feel unfathomably special. Seeing a snippet of your life, that maybe your memory can’t recall as well, can invoke so many emotions.
I started filming weddings in 2023, but I’ve always been obsessed with capturing memories.
To be honest, I am deeply sentimental. I have boxes of birthday cards, school lunch sticky notes from my dad, books filled with pressed flowers, and a camera roll reaching dangerous numbers.
(Every note a couple has ever given me is either framed in my office or hung on my fridge.)
Though my background and bachelor’s degree are both in digital marketing, I knew early on in my career that I wanted something more fulfilling and more personal.
When I was younger, filming a wedding was a distant idea, a cool concept I’d love to try, a dream I’d maybe get around to reaching.
But, when I had the opportunity to film a friend’s wedding, I never looked back.
I got absolutely hooked on the energy, emotion, sentiment, and intention behind wedding days. And here I am, still pinching myself today.

I think, in a world where everything can be so polished, that couples are actually perfect
the way they are.
exactly
My documentary style truly blossomed after I met with a couple who said that wedding films “gave them the ick.”
They wanted their wedding captured, and a video to watch back for years to come, but they hated how overproduced so many wedding videos looked. That just wasn’t them.
It was like the clouds split above me: these guys got it.
I swore to never cut another blooper from a wedding film again.
The unpredictable moments, the mishaps, and the chaos you can’t predict, are the real stuff. The real stuff is what you’ll actually want to hold on to and remember years from now, not moving pictures or posed videos that you know are posed.
I’m not here to make copy/paste wedding films. I’m here to make something that actually feels like YOU.
My values
It matters most to me that you can stay entirely present in every moment of your wedding day.
Photos and videos are how we REMEMBER the day, not the purpose of the day. I’ll never pull you out of any moments just for the sake of a shot. I’m here to capture things exactly as they unfold; wildly, unpredictably, and chaotically.
Honestly, for 90% of the day, my goal is for you to forget there is a camera on you at all.
Be Where Your Feet Are
Though your wedding day is maybe your biggest chapter yet, I understand that your story is made up of every single day that came before it. Who you are and how you got to today matters deeply to me and is the core of your wedding film. I hold close to my chest the why of it all.
Storytelling
Every film I create is distinctly unique for a very intentional reason: No two couples are alike and no two weddings are alike. Everything should feel personalized to you and your wedding day.
I’m down-to-earth by nature, but especially on wedding days because I want you to feel completely at ease and comfortable. Though my camera and I will be with you for a lot of the day, we are keeping things real. You don’t need to look or act a certain way; the best footage will come from you just being yourselves.
Authenticity
Your tablescape is beautiful, as is your signage and all your DIY-efforts. I would be absolutely out of my mind to NOT capture the details of your wedding day.
All that being said, when it comes down to the final edit of a film, I will always prioritize you, your guests, and moments above all else.
People Over Things
I’m not here to make a copy-paste wedding film. I’m here to hold the "why" of your story close to my chest and turn it into something you’ll hold onto forever. Ready to keep it real?
No "ick-worthy" prompts, no over-produced scripts. Just you, your people, and the beautiful chaos of the best chapter yet.
