for couples seeking a refined, story-first experience.
That’s where the power of preserving your wedding memories comes in. It’s not just about having a video to watch on anniversaries—it’s about capturing the essence of that day in a way that allows you to relive it again and again. It’s about reconnecting with the joy, excitement, and love you felt in those fleeting moments, experiencing it as though it’s happening all over again.
Our goal as your wedding videographer is to capture your wedding day in an authentic and unobtrusive way—preserving real emotions and intimate moments with you, your friends, and your family, without being a distraction. Every couple is unique, and we take the time to understand your personal vision and style, ensuring your wedding film is a true reflection of who you are.

With a background in humanitarian aid videography, I have developed a “run-and-gun” documentary style that emphasizes authenticity and real-life moments. At the same time, I have a passion for the dramatic and cinematic, which allows me to blend both styles in my wedding films. My focus is always on capturing your unique story and intimate moments, while delivering a visually stunning, cinematic experience.
