HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

I started this wedding filmmaking journey back in 2019. With about 2 years of major setbacks I pushed on, working full time as an oncology nurse, 2 kids of my own and my “adopted” son.

From a 2 BR apartment with 5 people in it. We had just bought a house to accommodate our growing family.

At that time I would hand deliver my couples videos on a thumb drive in a gift box with wine, popcorn and chocolate. I was lucky enough to have this amazing couple here record the “unboxing” of their video and share it with me.

Fast forward to today, nearly 7 years later and I have the absolute pleasure to capture couples most joyful moments all over New York; from Buffalo to the Adirondacks.

From humble beginnings to an extraordinary opportunity that lead me here. Thank you to all who have trusted me and I’m looking forward to all the couples I get to meet moving forward.

DRONE FOOTAGE! Do you need it?

Technically? No.
Does it elevate the production of any film? Oh heck yeah!

It’s important to get a licensed and experienced drone pilot to cover your project. Whether a wedding or a commercial shoot having the right prop on the job is super important.

I put in the hours, money and effort to get F. A. A. Licensed to legally fly drones commercially.

Message me if you want to know if drone coverage is right for your project.

Cake cutting always seems to happen in the worst lit location of every venue.

In order to maintain a low ISO, avoid excessive photography flashes and still get the best looking image I always carry a pocket light with me for those random moments like these.

Just a soft, clean, consistent light that lets me get the shot.

Low ISO. Clean image. Happy couple. Happy photographer next to me.

Your ceremony only happens once.
That’s why we don’t cover it with one camera.
Our 3-camera ceremony system is designed to be completely invisible to you and your guests, but make the film feel like you’re reliving it.
One to hold the moment wide.
One to capture his reaction.
One to capture yours.
So when you watch it back, you don’t just see what happened - you feel what it felt like from both sides of the aisle.
It’s one of the details that separates a wedding video from a wedding film.
2026/2027 dates are open - DM us “CEREMONY” for our film collections.

What if your customers could step inside your business before ever walking through the door? 👀

Here’s a quick look at a recent 360° tour I created for the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort—located directly on Mirror Lake in the heart of Lake Placid, just steps from Main Street and the Olympic Center.

For hotels, event venues, real estate, and other modern businesses, professional 360° tours and 3D scans offer more than great visuals. They allow potential guests and customers to explore a space, understand its layout, and feel confident about booking—all from their phone or computer.

In a crowded online marketplace, don’t just show people your space. Let them experience it.

Want to give customers a more immersive way to explore your business? Send me a DM to discuss a custom 360° tour or 3D scan.

Morning walk rainbow. 🌈 what a great start to the day. Pay no mind to the puppy peeing in the grass.

My video doesn’t do this show the justice it deserves. This crew is amazing.

I can’t imagine a couple more deserving of everlasting love than Gabby and Patrick. These two literally had me rooting for them from the pre planning wedding talks with gabby all the way to the reception. Congrats and thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your story.
