Happy anniversary to my dearest Jaime and Dani! One year ago, today, I was being part of their unforgettable elopement wedding as their photographer in Lake Tahoe, one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been to! Thank you a million guys! For making me part of your journey.. this experience is something I will never forget ✨🫀..

was already a good friend from life, and after meeting Dani on that trip, I gotta say I won a friend for life. Their way to see the world, push hard on becoming your best version has been so inspiring for me in my personal growth journey. They are both ultra marathon runners and elite athletes! I admire them so much and their determination and drive has inspired me to become the best version I can ever be. And today, I’m happy to say that Jaime trained me to run my first half marathon! Next week I’ll be accomplishing a personal goal I’ve been dreaming about! Now it’s becoming a reality! Thank you bro, for sticking around! Pushing me, encouraging me to be that best self.
I wish you both a life full of magic, love and emotions to live! You deserve the world 🫀 love you guys a ton! Keep on rocking champs ⚡️🏆

Hello again internet! It’s been a freaking while! Away from this little black mirror for some time. Focusing on what’s really important here.

As I just turned 35 yesterday, I’ve realized that whatever our purpose in this planet is, we all have an impact and we need to be mindful and present with what and who’s around us.

I knew this year would be a crazy one but never I thought it would be one for the books! And I feel I need to share how happy I am in this part of my life! So blessed to have a family full of love, I have a job doing what I love the most! Telling stories! Stories with heart and soul! And traveling all over the place learning so much from people’s stories! This year has been the one I hit the airport the most that’s for sure.

I also got so passionate about something that helped me become a better version of myself! I’ve had so much more energy, clarity and focus since I started biking almost every day. Taking care of myself and my health has been eye opening for me. Also, this year we hit a huge milestone in our lives! We bought our first house!!! We can’t f*cking believe it!! Thank you universe!

So, that’s the reason why I’ve been so absent. I wanted to give priority to what really matters in this moment, my family, my current clients and myself, this time helped me also understand more about our clients and their stories and what we want to portray in our work, what we wanna say about their stories and how we wanna show it to the world. I will never forget something that Whitney from said a couple of years ago in the first edition of , that we, as filmmakers have the power to shape the way our clients remember that one day. And this is a huge responsibility to be honest. That’s why I decided to care even more about the stories being super intentional and real in the process, caring about the details and all the elements that builds their story.

Well guys! That’s it value the time you receive and the time you give! Thank you universe for another year and let’s keep rocking for the next ones!

Cheers fam! Stay awesome! Give love!

- Eugene Drake

Let’s talk about music selection for your wedding guys! We take pride in the extensive research we do and the mix with different tracks and music genres as well as sound design and voiceovers to set the scene and tell the story.
In this case for Kristian and Michaels wedding teaser, we wanted to bring to life the vibe of the couple and their wedding day, with the bride’s Mexican heritage and the fact that they had a mariachi band as well as a big band, that were giving us so much gold during reception setting the dance floor on fire 🔥. So, why not mixing some acoustic guitar sounds with some swag rock tracks? And topping it with the perfect piece of vow to connect the story? Haha well, here’s the result!!
I think that my unfulfilled dream of learning how to play a music instrument is being accomplished with the love I have for music mix for filmmaking!
Hope you enjoy!!
Shoutout to the amazing team of vendors and the amazing couple .vandever and
