I Don’t Just Document Weddings,I Show Up for Them

My role is simple: celebrate you, protect your experience, and capture the day as it actually happens, from the inside.

A bride wearing glasses, a black dress, and a wedding veil, smiling at the camera, standing in a venue with large windows. A maid of honor or bridesmaid in a white dress with lace details is visible in the background.

I don’t believe the best wedding coverage comes from standing far away and staying invisible all day. It comes from being present, paying attention, and earning trust early, with you and with your people.

I bring energy, humor, and leadership into the room. I’ll hype you up when nerves creep in, step in when something feels off, and quietly handle problems before they ever reach you. I keep things moving without making the day feel scheduled, and I never forget that this is your wedding, not a production.

You’ll laugh a lot. You’ll feel taken care of. And you won’t have to think about the cameras once things start rolling.

I grew up around loud celebrations and packed dance floors, the kind where joy builds fast, emotions run high, and the room moves as one. I’m comfortable in that energy, and I know how to work inside it without overpowering it.

That’s led to moments like:

– wearing the bride’s veil while filming because it made her laugh
– ending up in wedding albums delivered by photographers I’d just met
– getting into dance battles with grandparents who absolutely weren’t losing
– pulling aside a tipsy guest to record what they really wanted the couple to know

Those moments don’t happen when someone stays distant.
They happen when people feel safe being themselves around you.

How I Work on a Wedding Day

I’m involved, but never intrusive. I’m organized, but never stiff.
I’ll celebrate with you, advocate for you, and keep the focus exactly where it belongs.

That means:

– stepping in when timelines drift
– shielding you from unnecessary stress
– making space for real moments to happen
– documenting emotions as they unfold, not recreating them later

Whether I’m filming, photographing, or doing both, the goal stays the same: preserve how the day felt, not just how it looked.

Photo & Film, Working Together

I approach stills and motion the same way, with awareness, timing, and closeness.
Video carries movement, sound, and emotion.
Photos anchor the moments you’ll come back to forever.

Together, they tell the full story, the loud parts, the quiet ones, and everything in between.

Every wedding is different, different traditions, identities, family dynamics, and ways of showing love. My job is to honor all of it with respect and intention, and to create an environment where you and your people feel safe being exactly who you are.

Belonging isn’t a feature. It’s the baseline.
