After picking up a photography camera back in 2010, I always was intrigued by video. I continued with photography until August 2016, when I switched my camera to video mode and started making videos. Eventually a friend I did wedding photography for trusted me to start shooting video for his company, and the rest is history. I’ve since stopped taking photos and become fully immersed in creating wedding films ever since, leading to 5+ years filming weddings and 2 years photographing weddings prior. I’m committed every day to perfecting my craft, trying new techniques, and as any filmmaker knows, purchasing excessive amounts of new camera gear.
