in a world of perfectly crafted wedding videos, the less perfect ones often tell a truer story. the focus shouldn’t be on how elaborate the production was, but on you.

it takes quite a bit of work to make something look like not a lot of work went into it. i keep it light, accessible.

i call my work films, not videos. not because i think i’m a better filmmaker than anyone else, but because films carry a different kind of memory. they breathe. they don’t rush to impress.

i’m drawn to the moments between the moments—the fleeting, almost unnoticed things you end up dreaming about months later. a glance held a second longer than expected. tears. a kid running through the frame. friends holding hands as they recognize a love that once brought them together too. leaves in the wind, sun flares.

sometimes these quiet details tell a deeper story than the grand, sweeping moments we’re used to seeing in more traditional wedding videos.

i also tell your story out of chronological order. sort of. whatever feels right.

i don’t take this task lightly. being invited to your occasion, surrounded by the people most precious to you.

and my work isn’t finished until years from now, my film brings you back to the same emotion you experienced on your wedding day.

i look forward to connecting with you. please drop me a line!  (from your phone)
