My Wedding Reel

/

"Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility."-Anne Hathaway

     Filming weddings has made me a greater artist in ways I never would have imagined.  Second chances are rare on wedding days and this limitation has transformed my creative eye and has trained me to notice the smallest details to capture in a short amount of time.

I have seen this skill of visual awareness transfer to the other less demanding projects I have been fortunate to be apart of and I am highly grateful to have been thrown inside the fire of wedding film making. Creating wedding films has made me into a more composed and aware artist that handles the demands of a long production day with much more ease and grace.

Here is a wedding reel I put together from some of my favorite wedding day footage.
 

Camping + Filmmaking=Cinematic Greatness

/ Mountain Breeze Camp/

     In May for my birthday weekend, I had the opportunity to go camping at the Mountain Breeze Camp Ground in New Braunfels.  I enjoy nature and every time I go on a trip for multiple days I always feel the need to unplug and turn off my cell phone.  I captured all of this footage at 60fps and decided to turn this into a cinematic slow motion montage of the images I captured during the trip.

Smartphone Filmmaking in Ghana

/

     In October 2015 I had the opportunity to travel to Ghana on a healing and cultural retreat and be the lead photographer/filmmaker of the trip.

Leaving my larger camera equipment behind, I wanted to challenge myself and capture all of the images and video with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smart phone and stretch this technology to it's limits.

What I learned was that the image, story, and vibe are most important in the creative process and that I can create great looking images with any camera and not to get so wrapped up in the thought process of having the "right" gear.
