How did you get into the wedding industry?

I ended up in the industry accidentally on purpose. I knew I wanted to pursue videography after working as a student videographer at Castleton University. A bunch of people ask me to film their weddings while I was a student, but I felt like it was too much pressure, and I knew I’d feel bad if it wasn’t great since these were people that I wasn’t super close with. 

The right opportunity arose when my cousin got married back in 2016; I casually filmed pieces of his wedding and posted highlights a throughout the next few weeks. Soon after, my girlfriend’s (now wife’s) sister got married in Florida and needed a videographer. She flew me down to Florida for the wedding in exchange for a wedding video.

How would you describe your style?

Our style puts our couples’ stories first. We build all of our wedding films using audio recorded from toasts, vows, notes, etc. and utilize this to tell the story of our couples and their wedding day.

Also, I try not to be noticed too much outside of the moments that we need to capture. I strive to look for those little moments that you may miss as the ones getting married. I’m talking about your cousins laughing in the corner, your nieces and nephews making the silliest faces, and those tears that are shed by guests during your father-daughter dance.

We also love to end our edits with a bit of fun, usually editing to the beat of the track and showing off all the wild dance moves of the wedding guests.

What inspires your work?

I’m inspired by the great photographers we’ve gotten to work with throughout the years. I find myself (more often than I’d like to admit) flipping through their blog posts from recent weddings, looking through their best shots, and brainstorming if and how they may translate to video and how to make them happen at the next wedding I film.

Just driving through the natural beauty of the backwoods of Vermont will some way, somehow give me ideas for filming and editing the next wedding.

Another huge inspiration is, of course, our couples. After the wedding, I take notes on little things that happen throughout the day that speak to the personality of our couples, as to make sure to incorporate the little details of this into their film.
