Wedding Videography and Photography
A wedding isn't just an event in your life that you want to have documented to look at maybe ten, twenty, or thirty years from now. It's an event that you actually want to experience again.
Don't you want to remember the joy you felt as you walked down the aisle? Don't you want to feel that sense of excitement, looking all around and seeing your family and friends, and then turning to gaze right into the eyes of soon to be spouse, knowing you will be spending the rest of your life together?
I promise to capture it all for you, from the funniest and most ridiculous things that may happen on your wedding day, to the part where you just hold your spouse close, knowing you two were meant to be together, as you slowly dance your first dance as husband and wife.
Feel free to read some kind words from previous clients! Lastly, I offer some great tips on preparing for your wedding and some ideas about cool things to add to it.
*Military discounts available with a valid military I.D.
