Q1. If you were a cartoon character, which one would you be ?
This one is easy. Bob, from Bob's Burgers. I'm him already minus two children and burger restaurant. My daughter Nova is each kid wrapped into one, and my wife is Linda 100%.
Q2. What's your go-to dance move at weddings ?
A very smooth two-step. Camera in hand, middle of the crowd. I use it as a motivating tool to get everyone involved, it's the perfect opporunity for video, it's an art.
Q3. What's your best dining experience?
While on winter vacation in Palm Springs, CA we stumbled upon an Indian Resturant. The chef and owner happened to be there. He came by our table and asked if we wanted to sample a few new items. He even brought out wine pariings. The entire expeience was amazing. It didnt hurt that we were dodging record low temps on the east coast.
Q4. Someone gifted you a paid vacation. Where are you going ?
Southeast France. Give me a place with a great view, and boat, and my family. I'm not to sure I would come back. Hahaha

C
with capturing the moments that my family and friends can reflect on once a little time has passed. Those precious moments that we tend to forget with time have always been my focus. Our memory fails at times by remembering only specific moments from our own perspectives.

The year I started - My love for creating wedding films blossomed from my first love of visual storytelling. After studying film in college, I struggled to find my place in the industry; nothing spoke to me creatively. A lovely couple that attended the same university as me reached out to see if I was available for a short highlight film. I agreed to document the day; the rest is history. I found what makes me happy and speaks to my soul.
Gaining Clients and Friends - A few positive things that came from a rough period for us all were the cultivation and reliance on friendships and my commitment to establishing meaningful relationships with people, especially my clients. During this year, I began fostering relationships with people in the industry who could serve as a resource to my clients and myself. Do you need a planner? I know someone. You can't decide on a photographer? No problem.
We're going international! There's no way I could describe how it felt to travel abroad doing what I love. I was elated. From a welcome party for the ages to a reception with guest performers and a wedding guest who turned out to be a celebrity MC, I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience.
n 2023, I had the opportunity to experience weddings from several different cultures. I also gained additional resources that I am eager to share with my couples in 2024.
2024 is a year for rebranding. I launched my website at the beginning of this year with changes to ensure that my client's experience is smooth and enjoyable, from discovery to delivery of the final films.
