“Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare... Perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways... Perhaps love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.”

You might have heard (read) that I'm passionate about stories full of heart, where I can showcase unique personalities and stir up emotions. What you might not get from that though, is I love filming weddings! A wedding day is such a perfect place to capture rare, personal stories. Sometimes, I think we can get the idea that once you've been to a few weddings, then you've been to them all. But, I've been to quite a bit of weddings and they're each filled with their own special moments that distinctly represent one couple and their lives together. During a wedding day, there's so much more that goes on other than an exchanging of vows. There's moments full of joy and love as you hug each loved one that showed up and witness all the small, but significant deeds that take place to make such a special day. There's moments of excitement and nerves spent laughing with your partner as you both stand up in front of everyone you value. Those are the moments I love capturing because those are the ones that really tell your story.

If you're planning for your wedding and wondering if my films would be a good fit for your day, then here's a bit more about my style:

  • Authentic & Meaningful: During weddings, I shoot in an unobtrusive, documentary style to capture authentic moments and work best with natural lighting to produce dreamy, romantic imagery. I love looking for the moments and interactions that are full of warmth and love, which means I really like to let the day unfold genuinely. There may be times I direct you or ask you to give each other a kiss one more time so that we can get the perfect shot, but mostly I will be capturing the real, natural love between the two of you.
  • The Beauty of Nature: Intertwining nature into my work is one of my specialities, so if you're looking at an outdoor setting for your wedding, we're that much more of a match! I know how much personal value nature can hold and I understand how a specific location can add to your story. I find the outdoor world to be so beautiful too and I love capturing all the special elements of nature and weaving it into your tale. This also means I can go with the flow and make cinematic magic no matter what Mother Nature decides to throw at us!
  • Celebrate & Make Your Memories: I want you to enjoy your wedding! So, don't worry, I've got you covered. You can focus on celebrating with your loved ones and making the memories you'll get to relive over and over again through your wedding film.

Married in the Warm Winter Sun

Jessi & Will: Arizona Wedding Film

This winter I drove down to Phoenix to shoot Jessi & Will's wedding. I can get a bit nervous shooting inside a church due to dim lighting, but this church had lots of windows to let all the warm winter sunshine through. It created some beautiful, soft lighting to show off all the love being spread around that day. Lots of smiles, laughter, hugs and cute kids. I love snapping shots of curious, sweet, and silly kids. Enjoy!
