One of the few things that could hold my attention as a child were movies. As I grew, I discovered a natural talent for framing and camera work, and telling stories with these tools followed shortly after. I found that I enjoyed capturing real stories over narrative ones, and videography lets me be creative while creating a memory the client will treasure for years to come.

I had the honor of shooting my nephew’s wedding a few years back. Seeing his emotions as he saw his bride on their wedding day filled my heart with such joy. It was a special moment for me that I was able to film and gift to him. It’s also a memory he and his wife get to keep for the rest of their lives.

Being trusted to capture the private moments between the bride and groom has always put a smile on my face. You not only capture the wedding day, but build a relationship with the couple, often offering advice and guidance during the day’s hectic events. It’s a challenge I relish taking up, and I look forward to the opportunities that each new couple I meet will bring me.

I’ve shot a variety of projects, from reality television to documentaries and short films. I’ve experienced an assortment of different scenarios which allow me to tailor my style to each individual project. Every bride and groom has their own personality, and I work to make sure it shines through in their video.

I love the Grand Entrance at the reception. The bridal party always comes up with something new and creative for their entrances, and the energy from the crowd when they welcome the new Bride and Groom is intoxicating. It’s a great chance for everyone to let their personalities come through! Plus, confetti cannons look amazing on video.

In 2022, I thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. I filmed very little of it.
