“EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID I ALWAYS LOVED MAKING MOVIES AND TAKING PHOTOS.” - YADA YADA YADA. EVERYONE SAYS THAT, RIGHT?

WELL FOR ME, I REALLY DID GROW UP MAKING LITTLE MOVIES AND BEING RAISED ON SOME OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME THAT LEFT A HUGE MARK ON THE PERSON I AM TODAY: JAWS, JURASSIC PARK, batman, E.T., STAR WARS, halloween, Shawshank redemption…and c’mon, you can’t forget such cult classics like CHRISTMAS VACATION, HAPPY GILMORE, billy madison, & the mighty ducks!

I GREW UP AND DID THE WHOLE FILM SCHOOL THING AND ENDED UP WORKING ON A FEW MOVIES, DOCUMENTARIES, AND INFAMOUS REALITY TV SHOWS SUCH AS TEEN MOM 2. THE HOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY IS NOT AS GLAMOROUS AS PEOPLE THINK. IT’S CUT THROAT. IT’S GREEDY. THERE ARE INSANELY STRESSFUL DEADLINES. NOT TO MENTION THE 500 EMAILS A DAY FROM 50 DIFFERENT PRODUCERS, MOST OF WHICH NEVER EVEN KNEW MY NAME. I’M GLAD THAT TIME WAS A PART OF MY LIFE, BUT I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN GOING BACK.

THAT EVENTUALLY LED ME TO GET INTO WEDDINGS. IT WAS A COMPLETE 180 FROM THE FILM INDUSTRY. ONE CAN ARGUE ABOUT THE STRESSES OF WEDDING PLANNING, FIGURING OUT BUDGETS, AND YOUR USUAL FAMILY DRAMA, BUT FOR ME, I GOT INTO IT BECAUSE I LOVE TELLING STORIES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE WHO I END UP CALLING FRIENDS. AFTERALL, FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.

SEE, I’VE BEEN DOING THIS FULL TIME FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS. I’VE SEEN EVERYTHING YOU COULD IMAGINE. MAYBE IT’S ME GROWING OLDER, BUT I HAVE SHIFTED MY PERSPECTIVE ON WEDDINGS AND WHY I DO WHAT I DO. I DON’T CARE WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA TELLS YOU WHAT IS RIGHT & WRONG ABOUT THE WEDDING INDUSTRY. I CREATE MY WORK FOR THE COUPLES THAT HIRED ME. THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE I WANT TO CREATE A STORY FOR THEM THAT PERFECTLY EMBODIES THE DAY THEY HAD. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AT A WEDDING IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU: FAMILY + FRIENDS. IT’S ALL WE HAVE, RIGHT? I NEVER LOOK AT MY COUPLES AS “CLIENTS.” THEY ARE MY FRIENDS.

I WILL NEVER MAKE YOUR FILM SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT IT’S NOT. WHEN COUPLES WATCH THEIR FILMS, I WANT THEM TO REFLECT THE EXACT DAY THEY HAD. I DON’T WANT YOUR FILMS TO FEEL OVERLY PRODUCED AND EDITED WITH FRENETIC SHOTS AND OVER THE TOP CINEMATIC MUSIC. IT’S YOUR DAY. BE YOURSELVES. I’LL DO THE REST. AND IN THE END, I WILL HAVE GAINED 2 NEW FRIENDS AND THE HONOR OF TELLING A NEW STORY.
