My tools of choice are digital but my editing process gives my videos the look of having been shot on film. I love deep blacks, rich true-to-life colors, and the way it makes the skin glow. My films generally have a warmer tone, texture, and organic movement. My style is not dramatic nor does it rely on extensive posing. Instead, I prefer to take a journalistic approach. That is to say, I immerse myself in the moment and look for ways to artistically capture what’s happening. I don’t, however, take a purely documentary approach. If I feel that a touch of subtle, tasteful direction could elevate a scene and that my couples or subjects would be up for it, then we explore it together.

A few films that have inspired my style are, in no particular order: Tree of Life, Her, Y Tu Mamá También, Call Me by Your Name, Babylon, American Honey, The Worst Person in the World, and Phantom Thread. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that my style, especially my early travel videos, has also been heavily influenced by Anthony Bourdain’s TV series called Parts Unknown. When I watched him travel the world, getting to know different cultures, sitting down and sharing a meal with all sorts of people, I remember thinking “Man, that guy has the best job ever!”

Perhaps the best way to get a feel for my style is to watch a collection of short teasers of my most recent weddings. You’ll notice that each has a vibe and personality as unique as the couples they feature.
