Taking advantage of all the beauty, music and drama you and your guests provide, I produce a story of you and the joining of your two families. Using the latest in DSLR video and audio technology, I approach each wedding as a quiet, observant filmmaker with a very intimate touch.

Take some time to view my work as it's the best way to understand how your wedding would feel and look. All video and audio, including music, is gathered on your day. Your family, your venue, yourselves -- that is all I'm interested in working with.

I shoot and produce these pieces from start to finish, preferring to use a 2nd photographer on the day itself and to incorporate choice still photographs in post-production. Packages are completely customized to your event and yes thanks for asking, we DO love after parties!

Please contact me directly pricing or any other questions you may have!
