“If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it”
Truly believe I get to witness paradise every time I get to film a wedding. I love seeing and capturing the joy, excitement, and the love between two people ready to commit to each other forever.

The way he looks at her 🥹
The Black Hills will forever hold a special place in my heart. Not only is where White Spruce Films’ name comes from, but also where I proposed to the love of my life. Highly recommend looking into having a wedding out there and if you are… let me know 😉
Would you get married in the Black Hills?? 🌲

My films are… colorful 🎨
Each color tells a unique story. When combined, they create a masterpiece.
In the world of color psychology, it is understood that colors have the power to evoke emotions and set the tone.
For example, different tints of blue can evoke feelings of serene, dependability, and calmness. While green has associations with the Earth and rejuvenating energy.
This gives another tool when crafting wedding films to enhance the story and the emotions you feel while watching your film.
Who else is obsessed with color??? 🎨

Summer 2023 🥂
The past couple months were filled with so much love and happiness.
While I’ve been deep in the editing cave for the past few weeks, I realized it’s been a while since I shared all the memories I’ve been able to capture this summer.
From lakeshores to mountain vistas, every moment was an exciting celebration with cherished friends and loved ones.
Feeling truly honored and overflowing with gratitude for the opportunity to work with the most incredible couples and talented vendors out there.
Ready to take on the fall! 🍁

From vows to views, their elopement in the North Cascades was pure magic 🏔️
Sydney and Ethan have been together for over seven years. Throughout their time together, they have ventured across the United States, finding a deep love for exploration and adventure.
Naturally, when they finally got engaged, they knew they wanted to go somewhere new – somewhere with stunning views, a place they would always cherish.
The North Cascades in Northern Washington are truly unlike anything else. Imagine standing hand in hand with your partner against a backdrop of majestic peaks where the crisp mountain air carries a sense of enchantment.
As you exchange vows in this wilderness, the towering mountains become witnesses to your promises, and the calm lakes mirror the depth of your emotions. The North Cascades offer an intimate and profound setting, where your love is embraced by the forests, alpine meadows, and glacier-fed rivers.
Knowing Sydney and Ethan, this is exactly what they were looking for – and exactly what they got.
While it’s almost impossible to condense this experience, sit back and enjoy Sydney and Ethan’s teaser film, with so much more to come.

“To the truest love I’ve ever witnessed.” 🥂
This weekend was absolutely STUNNING. Jacob and Olivia got married in Sioux Falls with friends and family that came everywhere from down the street to across the world.
As I got to know, this weekend was set in motion well before they even officially got together and I can’t wait to share more of their story.
Congratulations Jacob and Olivia!

Now THIS is how you wedding! 🎉
Mickenzy and David, park rangers in Hawaii, came to Duluth, MN to get married. They had friends and family from all over come to celebrate their love and the start of their marriage. They were married at the top of Enger Park which has an absolutely amazing overview of the city of Duluth and Lake Superior. After an amazing dinner at the Greysolon, Mickenzy and David had the party of the year!
The outdoors are important to both Mickenzy and David and so the next morning we got up to go adventure with them along the North Shore. Hiking, skipping rocks, and enjoying the fresh air for the very first time as a married couple was 100% amazing. Later that evening we joined them and their closest friends and family on a sunset boat cruise around Lake Superior to officially end their wedding weekend celebrations.
Thank you Mickenzy and David for having me come out to document an incredible weekend and the start of your marriage.

Intimate Black Hills Wedding | Lindsey & Nathan Wedding Film
When I first met with Lindsey and Nathan, I knew that this was going to be one of the best. They met by chance in Colorado and something inside both of them were telling them that this person is the one. That feeling inside them never left and they got married with their closest friends and family in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
With a gorgeous ceremony and vows that made me and everyone else tear up, the day was perfect. The weather was phenomenal and the friends and family were a joy to be around. It was such an honor to be able to celebrate alongside them.
We then got up early the next day and headed out to explore Pactola Lake for some gorgeous portraits.
Thank you so much Lindsey and Nathan for having us come out to the Black Hills to document such an important day in your lives.
