A little about me

Some might say I’m a New Yorker. I’m from NY, grew up in NY, never left and still lives here today. True to the city, you’ll find me taking the subway, zigzagging around crowded streets, just to grab a slice of the best pizza in the world. On my free time, you can find me playing basketball, volleyball, board games, video games or watching movies. This was all before having children. Now I spend any extra time I have with my boys, hanging out, playing and watching them grow. These precious moments are irreplaceable. That’s also how I view weddings. A day full of precious moments, special memories and an unforgettable time in your life. I want everyone to remember and be able to relive that wonderful day.

 

How I started

In high school and college, my interest in film began to develop, although I never considered it as a career path. Then, in 2013, everything changed when I got my hands on my first prosumer digital camera. I started creating videos as a hobby and was blown away by the amazing video quality this small camera could produce. From recording events and birthdays to capturing sports moments, I found joy in documenting various occasions.
Weddings have always been a source of enjoyment for me. The atmosphere is filled with happiness and everyone is having a great time. Witnessing a couple's declaration of love and their lifelong commitment to each other is truly a special occasion. It's a celebration from beginning to end, and when it's all over, only the memories remain. While photographers are often present to capture still moments, videographers are rarely seen. This sparked a thought in my mind—why not capture the entire day on video?
Out of curiosity, I decided to explore wedding videos online. To my surprise, they exceeded my expectations. No longer did they look homemade; instead, they resembled music videos and short movies. I was amazed by the high quality and cinematic feel these modern wedding films conveyed. They were able to capture not only the special events of the day but also the speeches and emotions. Witnessing the emotions of the bride, groom, and their loved ones was truly moving. Watching the day play back as if it were just yesterday was an experience unlike any other.
That's when I realized I wanted to create these video memories for my friends, family, and everyone.

So why choose me?

You’ve been planning, preparing, and ensuring every detail is perfect. It’s a celebration with family and friends that you will remember forever. My sole focus is to capture the true essence and meaning of your wedding. I want to create a story around you and your partner that’s summarized in a cinematic film where you can watch and relive the moments forever. I want to show the raw, natural emotions and moments that happened whether it’s laughter or tears.

I’ll be with you from day one of our initial conversation until the very end. It doesn’t stop after the wedding day but until you are completely satisfied after receiving your film. Since I don’t have teams or personnel for sales, shooting, or editing, there will be no disconnect between our initial vision to the final film. I will always be available to answer your questions and provide exceptional service.

The wedding day can sometimes be unpredictable with weather and sudden changes. That’s when having someone who’s experienced and reliable can make all the difference. Someone who won’t panic but will help calm the situation and offer solutions. Someone who will offer a peace of mind.

Planning a wedding is not easy. All the research, calls, emails and meetings can feel like a second job. I know, because I’ve been through it, planning my wedding. I understand the excitement and anxiety that comes with wedding planning. Hence, I want to make my process as easy as possible. I’m here to answer all your questions and be transparent with the entire process so you’ll know exactly what to expect and if we are the right fit for each other.
