Alison sees her grandparents for the first time on her wedding day.
You don’t want a videographer, you want memories. ✨I’ve realized families don’t hire me for “me.” Families hire me because they LOVE their friends and family.
.
It’s the moms and dads thinking “Do you see this?”
.
It’s knowing nothing lasts.
.
It is those thoughts of you as a little kid or remembering your parents and grandparents.
.
That’s why I say you don’t want a videographer, you want memories. Less me, more you. The best thing I can do is get out of the way and document what I see.
.
It’s like light. You can’t see light but you can see what it illuminates. That's the goal. 🎯
Whose mom loves them like this? ❤️ For Nicole, Angie is definitely that person. I can't believe it's been one year since this killer weekend 🤍🔥❤️
⬆️Something might be “beautiful” but why? ✨Was it posed, staged, rehearsed? Did your stoic but heartfelt dad stay quiet because it’s “time for the photo”? Did your day flash by because it was a to-do list? Here is to seeing and celebrating us in all our broken, humorous, and beautiful ways. I love this sequence because you can so clearly see the couple. Less me, more them. Being forgotten as a photographer is a compliment.

[Continued reading for the real fam. Let me know your thoughts. I'm just brain dumping] I'm continually looking for depth. It seems that's my character attribute God picked out on the home screen. I often get lost. But the craving is still there. Everything is so shiny these days, especially with AI. Everything is also turning into this remixed goo. It's getting harder and harder to find the “real.” It’s a work a work in progress. I’m right there with you. My personal feed shows that I've stopped documenting my life. Rather pretty scenes. Which is too bad.
⭐️ Wedding Film Reaction 💖 Blake & Kirby watch their film for the first time. Seeing these reaction videos fills my heart. It also helps me see which spots land and which don’t. As simple as it is, I have found people love to hear from their parents and grandparents. What was the favorite part of your film? What do you think will be?
Hannah’s dad thinks about his “little girl” on her wedding day.👨👧💍 If there’s one consistant theme on a wedding day it’s a dad who loves his daughter. They come in all shapes and sizes; stoic, emotional, charismatic, quiet, and some that try to dance with me 😳😂 You know who are lol! I’m here for it all.
Nicole & Kyle share what their partner can “improve on.” 😂 “When you’ve had to much to drink, remember, your not on your deathbed.” 😂 “Diamond Dave” killed it.
Ashley & Jesse watch their wedding video for the first time :) 😊🥹♥️ I love how Ashley’s smile gets more and more intense! So much suspense 😂🙌
"I promise to let you watch hours of men whispering to deer" 😂These vows LOL! Amanda & Justin's vows were unforgettable.
💍 Ring bearers debate the nature of COOTIES 🥰❤️😂 Spoiler Alert: Freckles may or may not be a sign of cooties. What’s your take?

I wanted to share one of my favorite sequences from Danielle & Landon’s film but stumbled over this gem 😂💎
Alex’s best man, Jake, had the best best man speech 😂👏👏 What’s your favorite joke?

Nicole & Chase - Opening Loop
I love the simplicity of Nicole & Chase's film. The film starts with their friend Jerry Lee Rains playing the guitar while moments of the day preview what's to come. What is your favorite shot?
