MY STORY

The youngest of 3, I grew up with one TV in our small house. With not much choice on what channel it was on, my mom would always watch old westerns, musicals and mini-series. Forced to watch these, I began to find that the storytelling captivated me, and made me feel for the characters. The magic of those movies and stories stayed with me. After backing out from going to film school in Florida, I found myself going to college to focus on health education. After my mom passed away from breast cancer, I wanted to teach others the importance of health. After a few years of teaching, there was just something missing. The passion I had for filmmaking began again once I had children. Filming with my camcorder, taking hundreds of pictures, that nostalgia of how I felt when I was 7 years old, on the living room floor-watching those westerns and musicals flooded my memories. After ten years of teaching, I left to pursue filmmaking. I’m now in my tenth year of filming weddings, and I feel like I’ve just started. So I’m more than grateful you are here.

Video tells a story like nothing else can. It shows us parts of our lives we can’t get back, but want to go back to remember and experience. Video shows us the sounds, the emotions, the relationships we may have forgotten; how we’ve grown and changed, how we’ve stayed the same. Video helps us remember others that are no longer with us. This power of video allows us to empathize, connect emotionally, and share our stories. A wedding film is no different. It’s a time capsule, an experience, and a legacy piece for your family. It’s initially something that could be taken for granted. But in 10 years you’ll know why it is so important. It evokes the emotions you never thought you would feel.
