Hilary + Lindsay // Martha's Vineyard

What an honor it was to tell Hilary and Lindsay’s story. As an artist naturally some of who I am goes into each film - and I feel like this one is my heart. It exemplifies the best of us, love, inclusion, joy, progress, hope, and the list goes on. This is what I want the world to be and I am so grateful for Hilary, Lindsay, and their incredible families and friends, for leading the way. Martha’s Vineyard is pure magic and throughout the weekend we were given a glimpse of all weather conditions :) The drama of storm clouds on the horizon (and maybe even some thunderbolts) during the ceremony is something I’ll never forget. The backdrop of the island, all the details and venues were breathtaking but couldn’t compete with the love radiating from the happy couple. They are clearly best friends, the definition of a perfect match, and the world is a better place with them together. I have a million favorite moments from our time together but their film says it all - which I still can’t get through without some happy tears. Special thanks to Patrie and the With Grace team for coordinating and planning a perfect weekend. It was a pleasure to shoot alongside Randi Baird whose work is stunning. Congratulations Hilary and Lindsay and thank you for showing us how bright the future is!

Cory + Alyssa // Aspen

Cory and Alyssa are some of the greatest people you could ever meet. They’re incredibly kind, uplifting, and full of life. It was such a joy to be around them and to tell this story. They’re also huge Game of Thrones fans. Sure, their super sweet pup is named Maisie after the actress that plays Arya, but they took it to the next level by doing their ring exchange in Dothraki! However, the most GOT thing about their wedding was the epic backdrop of Aspen mountain. With the ceremony and reception above 11,000ft, and with perfect weather, every moment was stunning and felt like a movie. It also helps that the two protagonists are deeply in love and have surrounded themselves with remarkable friends and family. I have a million favorite moments from their film but near the top of the list is that if you watch carefully you can see the words “I love you” and other words of encouragement being spoken constantly. In-between kisses, first dances, etc their love and excitement as they formally joined their lives together was on display. Special thank you to Kate and her amazing team at Gold Leaf Events for a flawless and stunning weekend. Rabbi Sarick for a truly memorable ceremony. Thank you also to Hotel Jerome, The Little Nell, and The Aspen Mountain Sundeck. Congratulations to a very special couple and after googling some Dothraki I want to say Shieraki gori ha yeraan!

Nora + Jon // Scottsdale

The magic and light of the dessert southwest was only outdone by Jon and Nora’s love. They radiated happiness the entire weekend as they joined their lives together in Scottsdale, AZ. Their incredible family and friends played a key role in making this celebration so special. At every turn they were ready to dance, laugh, toast, and share happy tears. A very special thank you to Jenni and her team at Imoni Events for planning and coordinating a stunning and flawless wedding. It was a pleasure to shoot alongside Kyle John Photography. Congratulations to an amazing couple. The world is a better place with you two teamed up!

Catalina + Alex // NYC

There are 8 million people in New York City, but the way Catalina and Alex light up and look at each other you’d think there were only 2. The father of the groom perfectly summed it up saying, “as they pack up for this long journey all they really want, and need, is each other.” The merging of two families is always cool, but seeing them embracing each others cultures is even better. This incredible couple, and their friends and family, are the best of the best. Bright lights, full of joy, working to make the world a better place. Not to mention they are tough! I’ve filmed many pre-wedding workouts and group activities and they usually include yoga, golf, or maybe a light run. But Catalina and Alex are fighters and put the wedding party through some intense boxing drills. Despite the grueling workout everyone was still ready to dance, laugh, and celebrate the entire weekend. I have so many favorite moments from our time together but their film says it all. From wandering the streets of Greenwich Village, the High Line, downtown, to Mr. Chow, The Four Seasons, and absolutely stunning views of The Bay Room, everything was perfect. It was an honor to shoot alongside Evan Rich Photography and his team. Special thank you to Dana and everyone at Gourmet Advisory Services for planning and coordinating a truly magical event. Congratulations to an amazing team, Catalina and Alex!

Ian + Lauren // Woodstock, VT

The venues were beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the backdrop of Woodstock, VT was magic, but it was Ian and Lauren’s love and friendship that stole the show. These two radiate joy, kindness and positivity - doubly so when they’re together. Like the best man said in his toast, their relationship is a little unfair to the rest of us :). But the good news is, anyone around them also benefits as you’re instantly swept up into their world of wonder and excitement. Whether it was a group hike, dance practice on the river, or the big moments on the wedding day, just being around them was a gift. They are two very special people and the world is a better place with them together. Special thanks to The Woodstock Inn, Kelly Way Gardens, and Simon Pearce. Thank you also to Kristin at Day of Joy Events, and Amy Donohue Photography for being so great! Congratulations Ian and Lauren, your love is an inspiration.

Molly + John // Minneapolis

It’s hard to know what to say that wasn’t already perfectly said in the toast and speeches at Molly and John’s wedding. Molly’s smile, John’s laugh, the world is a better place because they’re together, and the list goes on. It’s always an honor to film a wedding, but being around these two, and their amazing friends and family, was also just fun. Everyone came to celebrate and have a blast and their excitement was contagious. Each moment was filled with love, laughter, and happy tears. This is the second time I’ve been asked back by Molly’s family and that means the world to me. I could go on but their film tells the story of this incredible couple better than anything I could write. Sally Berry & Co. went above and beyond in planning a perfect weekend. From Our Lady of Grace, The Minneapolis Club, The Loews Hotel, and The Holden Room every detail was thought of. Northstar band came to rock, and it was a pleasure to shoot alongside Melissa Oholendt Photography! Congrats Molly and John and thank you for giving me a front row seat to such a special celebration.

Katie + Dan // Chicago

There are so many things I love about Katie and Dan but I think my favorite is that they just love to have fun together. Wether that’s cracking each other up or shutting down the dance floor these two are clearly best friends and the perfect pair. Their wedding weekend in Chicago was filled with love and support from the friends and families. Dan’s reaction of the flower girl stealing the show, to seeing his bride come down the aisle moments later is a perfect example of tears of laughter and joy. I could go on but their film says it all. Special thank you to Dana and her team at Clementine Custom Events for coordinating and planning a spectacular day. As always it was a pleasure to shoot along side Emilia, Natalie and Kyle of Emilia Jane Photography. The venue The Chicago Illuminating Company couldn’t have been better and the band The Gold Coast All Stars kept the party going all night. Congratulations to a truly special couple. I am so honored to have been along for the ride and asked to tell your story. 

Tanner + Jaci // Bemidji

Jaci, Tanner, and their friends and family are the epitome of “Minnesota nice” and are what make that place so special! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and ready to celebrate. It was an honor to join them in Bemidji and to tell this story. One of my favorite memories of our time together was that I don’t think Jaci stopped smiling the entire weekend! She was beautiful and beaming every time I saw her, and doubly so when Tanner was around! These two are a perfect match, best friends, and the world is a better place with them teamed up! Special thanks to Gretchen from Rocket Science for coordinating and planning a flawless event like always! Congratulations Jaci and Tanner! I can’t wait to see what the next chapter has in store!

Dee + Devin // Minneapolis

Well, Devin just set the bar pretty high for all future grooms! No spoilers here but you’ll know it when you see/hear it :) This was a winter wedding for the ages for two of the kindest people, with some of the best family and friends who came to laugh, cry, and dance! It was an honor to tell this story and be there as Devin and Dee joined their lives together. They are so clearly best friends and the world is a better place with them teamed up! I have a million favorite moments from the weekend and thanks to the magic of Gretchen and her team at Rocket Science, one of them was Minnesota winter being brought inside as it “snowed” during the first dance. Aria was breathtaking, elegant, and every detail thought of and perfectly appointed! As always it was a blast to shoot alongside Cadence and Eli. Congratulations to a truly special couple!

Anthony + Kate // Chicago

Kate and Anthony had an incredible fall wedding in Chicago. In the Windy City the weather is always a gamble, and sure enough we got a little rain on the wedding day. They say that’s good luck - but it also might be just what they tell couples to lift their spirits :) However, none of that was needed as Kate and Anthony’s excitement, happiness, and friendship radiated through every moment - and could make any rainy day feel bright and sunny. Their friends and family also brought their A game with lots of love, impressive dance moves, and hilarious toasts. This is a weekend I’ll never forget and am so incredibly honored to have captured. Congratulations to a very special couple! Special thanks to Taylor from Engaging Events by Ali for coordinating a perfect celebration!
