Distinct wedding photo and film in Colorado and beyond
exper
ience
Your story deserves to be told fearlessly– with an unapologetic lens that perfectly captures the nuances and quirks that make your wedding day yours.
I create films for the rebels. The rulebreakers. Those fearless couples who don’t care what’s cool or trendy.
Sound like you? Should we do this thing?
THERE’S A METHOD BEHIND THE MADNESS, I SWEAR.
When we create wedding day magic, there are no rules—only good vibes, lots of laughs, and a celebration of what makes you radically unique.
Step 1: Tear up the rulebook
There’s no such thing as a bad idea. Wanna ride a horse down the aisle? Jump in the pool fully dressed at the end of the night? I’m there for every moment and totally down for an adventure. I embrace my weirdness, too– I’ll probably make fun of myself or tell a dad joke. You’ve been warned!
Step 2: Lean into your weirdness
Documenting your wedding day authentically is my top priority (aside from sneaking a slice of cake at the end of the night). Instead of awkward posing and stiff directions, we’ll guide you and your loved ones with a sense of humor, creating a fun and stress-free environment to capture your day.
Step 3: Capture the magic as it unfolds
Fill out my contact form. I’ll reach out to set up a time for us to meet.
1. Hit Me Up
We’ll hop on a Zoom call to get to know each other. I’ll ask you to gush about how you met, when you got engaged, and what you envision for your wedding day. If we vibe, we’ll get all the necessary paperwork out of the way, and then it’s time to celebrate!
2. Chemistry Call
I’ll create a game plan for your wedding and call in my best contacts to help me capture as much footage as possible. This is also when we’ll set up your engagement session so you can use all those beautiful photos leading up to the big day!
3. Planning & Prep
Showtime, baby! Seriously though, relax and be present with one another. I’ve got everything covered (and will hop in wherever I’m needed).
4. wedding day
While you’re living it up in that “just married” bliss, I’m busy curating the best-of-the-best footage from your day. Within a week, you’ll have teaser photos in your inbox. Soon after, your finished film and photos are ready for their debut!

WEDDING PHOTO AND FILM PACKAGES

Video of Speeches
Every couple is distinct, and your wedding should be too. Your wedding photography and videography should be unique to you. Do you want a wedding album? No problem. Do you want to capture the rehearsal dinner? Great!
During our discovery call, we will make sure we build a package custom to you so that you get everything you want on your wedding day. Here are some example packages to give you some ideas:
My number one priority is ensuring you have a great time. I’ll be cracking jokes and making fun of myself the whole time. I’ve learned that if we get along well (and we will), you’ll be more comfortable being yourselves. I actually have a lot of people who are reluctant to be in front of the camera tell me, "Wow, that was way more fun than I thought it would be!"
1. what if we are awkward in front of the camera?
I typically have a second shooter, so multiple cameras/angles will always be on you throughout the day. During the significant moments (like the ceremony), I’ll mic you up to ensure every word you say to each other is captured clearly. I also highly recommend exchanging letters to read before your ceremony! It’s such a cool moment and perfectly compliments your vows in your wedding film. Just a thought!
2. How do you make sure you don’t miss anything on wedding day?
Your photos and film are delivered digitally, so you can share the links with anyone you’d like, near or far. I highly recommend backing everything up on an external hard drive, just in case! I've also helped many of my couples with photo books and prints, so let me know if that would be helpful for you!
3. How will our photos and film be delivered?
While I end the night with much more content than that, the magical part of creating films is the editing process. I handpick the most heartfelt, unique moments to curate the most authentic summary of your day possible. Seven minutes may not seem like a lot, but I promise when you see your film, you’ll understand! In the meantime, check out the films in my gallery to get a sense of the magic we can create together.
4. Is 6 minutes enough time to capture our whole day?
Yep! I also include full footage of speeches and ceremony upon request. They’ll be separate from your 7+ minute film. So, if you need more, you can add on what I call a "FOMO Edit". I'll edit all the clips from the day together chronologically so you can see all the unedited clips in a longer, more raw format!
5. Will you record special moments like speeches and first looks?
A print release is a legal clause that allows you to print your photos. Once your final photos are edited and delivered, you have full rights to print as many photos as you’d like. I may share your photos on my website or social media (I LOVE bragging about how fiercely awesome the couples I work with are), but they’re yours to do what you’d like. Share them with the world!
