Why I Mic the Bride
This is why I'm such a big advocate of mic'ing the bride.
This was a STUNNING and yet delicate dress to mic up. But, Alyssa trusted me and said, "We weren't just paying you for your work...we were paying you to use your brain." 😂 Gotta love when clients trust you to do what's best. No sticky rycote used. No thigh sleeve used. Just a nice mic clip pinch onto the inside the of V of the dress, cord wrapped around/tucked under the armpit, excess cord wrapped around the recorder and tucked into the back of the dress.
🌿 E + K were one of so many 2021 couples who booked their venue way in advance only to have to postpone their 2020 celebration. So, like many couples, they got married and gathered their friends and family a year later to celebrate and party in epic fashion. Such a fitting, deserving and perfect way to remember these moments 🌿

2020 reschedules have only strengthened relationships and further instilled a desire for relationships. Elopements, micro weddings, large weddings…they’ve all embodied elegance, beauty, and grace.

🌿 C + D’s day possessed a unique culmination of Disney fairytale and, “Love at first sight,” with a selfless decoration of love for one another. What a joyful, beautiful display 🌿

This wedding season has been EXHAUSTING. The double bookings, double headers, extended weekends, and mountains of editing are as a result of 2020. And yet, C + D’s wedding reminds me of why I love filming people’s first day so much. This busy season has worn on my body but it has enriched my soul

I'm Not Always In Front of the Camera, But When I Am...
Our wedding photographers from Jonathan & Hannah Photography asked us if we would be willing to make a testimonial video for them!
1) I LOVE this idea
2) I could not execute it to save my life
3) This is one reason why everyone is better off if I'm BEHIND the camera
4) I am undeserving of my amazing wife. This is what she gets to deal with on almost a daily basis
5) Maybe I can convince her to assist me with weddings one day ;)
