Why book?

I grew up watching movies and have always loved film. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to make films of my own, and eventually I found that wedding films gave me a way to do that while also creating something that really means something to someone. When I film a wedding, I want to capture the essence of the couple and their families, not just what everything looked like that day. I want their personalities, the people they love, the little interactions and all the things that make their relationship theirs to come through in the film. I also genuinely love being around weddings. There’s so much positivity, love and excitement, and getting to meet different couples constantly reminds me how special and honestly kind of magical it is to find your person. A lot of the time, watching my couples together even makes me think about my own person and how lucky I feel to have found that kind of love too. I’ve also always been someone who feels happiest when I can give something back to other people. Wedding filmmaking somehow brings all of those parts of me together at once. I get to make films, meet people in love, be surrounded by their families and friends, and at the end of it all, give them something that lets them experience that day again. That’s what makes this work so special to me.

Q&A
Connect with this vendor by getting to know them beyond their work.
What is your specialty or personal style?
My specialty is creating romantic wedding films with a strong focus on Super 8 and 16mm film. I love the way real film captures a wedding. It’s imperfect, nostalgic and has a feeling that is hard to recreate digitally. My style is heavily inspired by romance films and old movies, while still keeping the couple and their real personalities at the center of everything. I want my films to feel like you’re watching a love story, but one that could only belong to that specific couple. I mix the beautiful, cinematic moments with the candid ones, like shaky hands, quick glances, family reactions, laughter and all the little things happening in between. My goal is for every film to feel romantic and timeless without feeling overly posed or produced.
Is there a wedding destination or type that’s on your bucket list right now?
My bucket list destination would definitely be Italy. I’ve always wanted to visit, and I think the landscapes, architecture and overall atmosphere would photograph beautifully on Super 8 and 16mm. There is something about Italy that already feels romantic and timeless, so being able to capture a wedding there on film would be a dream.
Describe the personalities of the couples you get along best with.
I honestly feel like I work well with all kinds of personalities. I have really strong interpersonal skills and I’m usually able to read the room and meet people where they are. If a couple is more shy or nervous in front of the camera, I’m good at helping them feel comfortable and bringing them out of their shell without forcing it. If they’re already outgoing, I can match that energy and have fun with them. I’m also usually the comedic relief, so there’s a lot of laughing when I’m around. More than anything, I want my couples to feel like they can relax, be themselves and actually enjoy having me there on their wedding day.
