I'm a wedding videographer based in Wilmington, North Carolina who specializes in Super 8 videography and authentic storytelling for couples who want something a little different.
My adventure with film started in 2022 when I dove into learning about Super 8 for my own wedding. I wanted something that felt more like a memory than a production, something that captured the imperfect beauty of real life. What started as a personal project slowly turned into something more.
Now, as a Wilmington wedding filmmaker, I strive to mix the warm, textured feel of real film with a modern perspective. With each couple I capture, I aspire to create a film that is both timeless and full of life. Whether it's a big wedding, a quiet elopement, or a tiny ceremony with just the people who are closest to you, I believe that every celebration is worth cherishing.
With a focus on the untraditional, my desire is to create a time capsule to be treasured for generations to come.

Meet the Leading Lady
That is why I chose Super 8. It does not try to be perfect, it tries to be real.
To me, Super 8 is not just nostalgic, but deeply emotional. It slows you down. It makes ordinary moments feel extraordinary. It reminds us to take a step back and remember what matters.
Super 8 captures the feeling of a moment, not just the way it looked. The nervous hand squeeze before the ceremony. The look your parents exchange across the room. The tears that no one expected. Those moments happen naturally.
Your wedding film should bring you back to those moments every single time you watch it.

Super 8?
Work with me
One thing my couples mention over and over isn't just how much they love their Super 8 film. It is how they felt. Calm. Present. Comfortable. And able to actually enjoy their wedding. Because beautiful films begin with an experience that lets you simply be yourselves.
My approach is simple: I become a quiet, grounded presence on your wedding day. I am there to guide gently when needed and to step back when beautiful moments are unfolding naturally. I want you to feel fully seen, fully supported, and completely free to enjoy your day.
You do not need to know what to do with your hands. You do not need to act natural. You simply need to enjoy your wedding. I will take care of the rest.
My Approach to Film
While I was born and raised in Southern California, I've settled in the cozy beach town of Wilmington, North Carolina with the two loves of my life: my high school sweetheart Hunter and my cattle-dog mix, Mina.
In my free time, you'll find me exploring local coffee shops, collecting vinyl records + vintage trinkets, or reading a good book!
