I’ve never really talked about this before. Maybe we’ll dive deeper into it on a podcast we’re planning to record, but for now, here it is in written form.

So, why wedding filmmaking? Here’s the thing—I stayed single for six years before getting into the relationship I’m in now with the love of my life. Six years. Not because I couldn’t find someone, but because I wanted to focus on myself. I wanted to figure out what I really wanted, who I was, and what mattered to me. It was a personal challenge I felt like I needed to take on. Why six years? Honestly, it just kind of happened.

I started in wedding filmmaking after years of working in video production and initially shooting photos. I didn’t plan for this to be my path—I just kind of fell into it. But once I started, I noticed something interesting. I wasn’t just filming people’s weddings—I was getting curious. I started asking couples questions. How did you know? What makes it work? What do you love most about each other? Sure, part of it was for their wedding film, but honestly, it was because I was genuinely curious.

As someone who’s always seeking knowledge, I figured, why not learn from the people who are actually doing it? People who are in the thick of it, making it work, and taking that leap of faith. And I got to do it while doing something I love—filming.

But it’s more than that. Wedding films are a way to leave a piece of history behind for loved ones. It’s something I wish several of my family members had done. I wish they had taken the time to talk about their history, their love, their stories—so I could watch them over and over. Photos are great, but I realized you can’t really relive the day in a photo. You can’t hear a photo. You can’t feel the emotions the same way you can when watching a film.

That’s what keeps me coming back. Capturing these moments, creating something people can hold onto forever, and learning from it all along the way. And now, I get to do it alongside my significant other. Wedding filmmaking has become more than just a job for me—it’s a way to preserve love stories and share them for generations to come.
