I got into this field because I love serving others and I wanted to be an artist of some sort. I've always felt creative but had no place to put that energy, and to get to work with incredibly rad couples and document their wedding is something I've truly fallen in love with. The majority of the industry creates cookie cutter films with a formula, but that's the furthest thing from what I try to do here. Every couple has a unique story and vibe, and it's my honor to encapsulate that.

I've been recording and documenting things for as long as I can remember. Goofy videos with friends, road trips, music festivals...you name it! While the surroundings have changed over the years, the passion for filming have not. When I'm not filming weddings, you can catch me at a show, hanging with my wife and dog, or sipping bourbon next to a spinning record.

wedding films don't need to be CHEESY

I'm not a big fan of posing, staging, or directing. My preference is to let the day happen organically and document what happens. It's a really unique thing when this many close friends and family unite to celebrate you and we want to capture that as naturally as possible. Also, I LOVE good music. And good music makes for a great wedding film.
