Our Why šŸ¤

ā€œDave, Dave, Dave... where do I even begin?

From the moment I saw Daveā€™s website, I knew I wanted him to be the videographer at my wedding. There are almost no words to describe how incredible Dave and his team are. Not only were they professional, they were also funny and interactive and made everyone feel so comfortable on wedding day.

My dad was initially hesitant about having a videographer - when he saw the teaser videos from Dave he said, ā€œFor once, Iā€™m glad you didnā€™t listen to me.ā€ My husband and I have had people, that we havenā€™t talked to in years, reaching out and asking how they hire Dave. I told Dave heā€™s a legend in our community now!

I truly cannot imagine my wedding day without Dave and his team. If you donā€™t hire Dave, you are doing yourself a disservice. I already know that someday when Dave is the most famous wedding videographer on this planet, Iā€™ll be telling people, ā€œI know him!!!!!ā€ He is a true artist in his craft, and I feel honored that he was part of my day.ā€

Hi everyone, itā€™s Dave šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

Throughout the past 11 years of being a full time filmmaker in the wedding industry, Iā€™ve never been too focused on social media presence, so youā€™ve probably never heard of me. Thatā€™s totally cool šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

However, I just wanted to quickly jump on here to remind engaged couples who are searching for their favorite videography team that weā€™re still out here thriving. My team and I have documented hundreds and hundreds of beautiful events, all around the world over the past decade and our books are currently open for a limited number of 2025 weddings.

We have truly loved every minute of the services weā€™ve been fortunate to provide to our wonderful clients and look forward to pursuing our craft for many years to come.

Our 10th season of weddings is in full force and weā€™ve been having the best time celebrating our wonderful couples. Documenting + preserving every moment of your special day together is a privilege we will never take for granted.

In between filming beautiful events, editing, meetings, phone + email communications as well as an endless amount of miscellaneous tasks to knock off the list, the schedule is always very busy for us this time of year. If youā€™re currently waiting to receive your wedding film collection, please know that we are in consistent communication (be sure to check your email and keep an eye out for updates on our stories) and will always keep you in the loop as to where we are in our production workflow.

Thank you for always trusting in the art we feel so lucky to create and allowing us the time + space to do so.

I blinked and entered my 10th year of filming weddings. Some days it feels like everything has finally come together, while others it seems that Iā€™m only getting warmed up and have a never ending list of dreams to achieve. Forever a student + educator is the only way to explain it āœšŸ»

Whatever the case, hereā€™s to another decade of filming hundreds of beautiful weddings all across the globe. I hope my team and I have the opportunity to serve you next āœØ

I blinked and Iā€™m already halfway through my 9th year of filming weddings šŸ¤Æ

If you would have told little 11 year old me when I picked up that first camcorder Iā€™d later begin to document hundreds of beautiful weddings all around the country, I simply wouldnā€™t have believed you.

At that age, I was only focused on creating the best skate videos I could with what little I understood. Those beginning stages of learning how to make basic edits in Adobe premiere pro, while filming with my Canon GL2 w/ the widest angle lens possible, (because it was so rad šŸ¤Ŗ) are some of the fondest memories of my life.

To be honest, I had no real plan. It all eventually fell into place through trial and error (itā€™s a long story so ask and Iā€™ll gladly share it with you). Heck, I didnā€™t even understand correct shutter speeds, aperture and white balance adjustments, etc. for a long time.

But, 27 years later and I can say that Iā€™ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of evolving into a visual storyteller. The travels and genuine relationships created all because of filming your wedding. The sleepless nights and early mornings of production, while continuously evolving my brand to discover and implement systems to best serve you. But most importantly, preserving the love, joy + celebrations from one of the most symbolic days in your lives together. It all provides a feeling of happiness I canā€™t really begin to explain.

So, I want you to know that if Iā€™ve been lucky enough to work with you since 2014, it has been an absolute pleasure. While I donā€™t know what the future holds, I do hope that I still have another good 21+ seasons of doing what I love most. Living behind the lens to help you always remember what a wonderful love story you two have created + shared together āœØ

Taking a moment to reflect upon the hundreds of wonderful couples Iā€™ve met and the genuinely sweet relationships that have stemmed from this incredible career as a wedding cinematographer over the past nine years āœØ

The opportunities Iā€™ve had to document one of the most symbolic days in my clients lives together will always hold a special place in my heart. Forever grateful is an understatement.

How stoked I am to jump into another exciting season of weddings taking place all over the country šŸ¤˜šŸ¼

For those new to the channel, I wanted to quickly introduce myself. Iā€™m Dave, a destination wedding filmmaker based in Kentucky & Colorado. I began documenting weddings in 2013, couldnā€™t get enough of it all and the rest is simply history. Itā€™s my favorite thing to do and I hope that always shows in the art Iā€™m extremely fortunate to create for my wonderful clients āœØ

In my free time, I love nothing more than traveling the globe, exploring the great unknown, discovering new music, movies + tv series, playing golf (a lot, like way too much, so letā€™s go play together soon ā›³ļø ) snowboarding & lately, being very competitive at Mario Kart 8 šŸŽ®

I could go on and on about sharing just how many hobbies + interests I have (because the list seems to just keep on growing), but Iā€™d rather get to know more about you. If youā€™re newly engaged and planning your dream wedding for this year or next, I look forward to connecting and hearing all about your amazing story + the vision for your symbolic day šŸ’

Iā€™ve been holding onto some really exciting news for a while now (am I moving to Colorado?! More on that later šŸ˜Ž)ā€¦

And even though Iā€™m not ready to spill all the beans just yet, I am stoked to fill everyone in on just a little bit of whatā€™s been going behind the scenes. Long story short, there are a ton of pivots being made that I may share publicly at a later date. But for those interested in learning more, continue readingā€¦

As I finish out my 10th year of filming weddings in 2023, the time to switch things up and evolve as not just an artist, but as a human being has arrived. Iā€™ve felt the universe doing what it does the past few years and have no choice but to finally listen to it and listen well.

This incredible industry has presented me with so many wonderful opportunities over the years (meeting and working with the absolute best couples + friendors, while documenting hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt weddings and traveling to so many places Iā€™ve lost count), Iā€™ll never be able to fully express just how grateful I am for everything I have experienced. Itā€™s been one heck of a ride.

Iā€™m just ready for so much more growth and diving 110% into my passions of filmmaking, photography, storytelling, education, podcasting, all other areas of production, traveling the world and a never ending list of pursuits I want to achieve.

So with that, Iā€™ve decided to switch things up. Moving forward with 2024 bookings, I am going to intentionally limit my calendar to taking on 6 amazing weddings, so that I have more than enough time to grow into other fields of work including education, podcasting, commercial, corporate and freelance projects.

Lastly, this isnā€™t goodbye, at all. I will still continue to document weddings for years to come, just with a much more limited approach to my scheduling, in order to provide my clients a professional grade experience unlike any other.

If youā€™re in the process of wedding planning and are certain you would like to work together, I highly encourage reaching out soon before I run out of availability.

Happy wedding planning and wishing everyone all the best in 2023 āœŒšŸ¼

Hi, itā€™s me, I havenā€™t posted in weeksā€¦

But, I have been hard at work on a list of exciting projects, setting big (and awesome) life changes into motion and meeting + booking amazing new wedding clients all around the country. Oh, and Iā€™m still accepting 5 more weddings for the 2024 season, so I highly encourage you to reach out if youā€™re in the midst of wedding planning and have yet to book your favorite filmmaker.

Big things are coming āœØ

Over the past 6-7 years, my filmmaking career has consistently evolved into mostly destination weddings and elopements, taking place all around the country.

While I do still document a few select weddings in my hometown of Kentucky each season, itā€™s become more rare these days. 80% of my weddings for next year are out of state and mostly all inquiries Iā€™ve had for 2024 are the same šŸ¤Æ

If you know me, then youā€™re aware that I love and fully embrace getting lost in the adventure, exploring the great unknown and welcoming the unpredictable + uncomfortable with open arms (cultivating a childlike mindset if you will), as this is where I believe the most growth stems from in life.

Though some planned pivots are brewing behind the scenes, for now I just wanted to let it be known that moving forward I will be providing my wedding filmmaking + photography services in Colorado with ZERO travel fees. More information will be provided in due time, but if youā€™re planning a wedding in CO for 2023/2024, get in touch with me ASAP!

As I continue to intentionally scale back on how many weddings I take on each season, itā€™s provided the time, space & clarity to bring so many other exciting projects to life.

I canā€™t wait to share with you in due time, just how many additional endeavors Iā€™m working on behind the scenes. For now, as my books are at 70% capacity for next years calendar of weddings, I highly recommend reserving your date with me ASAP if videography is at the top of your priority list.

Settling into my favorite season of the year āœØ

Itā€™s a time to:

ā€¢ Breathe a bit. To slow down from the hustle + bustle and reflect upon just how thankful I am for the journey of evolvement over the years.

ā€¢ Appreciate the courage it took to set out and finally go my own way in life. Itā€™s been such a difficult process w/ more than enough obstacles in the way, but one I wouldnā€™t trade for the world.

ā€¢ Diligently sit on each project in my backlog for as much time as needed, in order to create the best work I can for wonderful clients Iā€™m lucky enough to serve.

ā€¢ Remind myself that dozens of years of experience will always hold more value over thousands of social media followers. Knowledge and expertise can never be taken away from you, as itā€™s been earned. Social media apps could disappear tomorrow.

ā€¢ Take in the calm mornings w/ coffee in hand, while cozying up with a good book.

ā€¢ Stay consistent with all things health & fitness.

ā€¢ Travel and get lost in the great outdoors, preferably on a snowboard or golf course.

ā€¢ Lastly, itā€™s a time to connect with other fellow artists in the industry and new clients alike. I look forward to getting to know so many new faces in the months to come and wish you all a happy fall/winter season ahead šŸ˜Š

A necessity, not a luxury āœØ

Weddings are one of the most pivotal moments in a lifetime. Filled with an endless array of emotions, surrounded in the company of those you adore the most. As you embark on the greatest love story ever told, how will yours be passed down and held onto for generations to come?

Through the power and evolution of film, my team and I aspire to create wedding videos crafted from bespoke narrative design, connection and the genuine heart of your relationship. The result, a nostalgic visual collection that invites the beauty of marriage to live on for eternity.

ā€œWhatā€™s dangerous is not to evolve.ā€ ~ Jeff Bezos

Upon now living behind the lens for what feels like an eternity (nearly 30 years), Iā€™m pleased to announce the next chapter in the story of my branding evolvement.

Itā€™s truly felt like forever in the making, but certainly worth the wait, as I move into a place that genuinely feels like home. Moving forward, I will be providing all wedding and commercial offerings through, you guessed it - myself šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

Thank you always for your continued support as I embark on this exciting new journey!
