FILM
In 2018, my video journey started out with creating “who we are” branding videos for real estate brokerages and non-profit organizations as an additional service during my photography sessions. A short time after, I joined a local government organization as their multimedia specialist creating short documentary films that were inspired by local government projects Minnesota cities have developed that showcase what city leaders were doing for their communities. Since then, I have created a number of short films highlighting brands, events and people who inspire me, with hopes that I can spread that inspiration to others across the internet. Even though I have been creating these for years now, it still feels like the beginning, and I can’t wait for what the future holds. I am looking forward to more collaborations, more stories and more good times to come.

Simply the Best Wedding Celebration - Minneapolis Minnesota
Kristina and Matt were married at The St. Peter Claver Church in St. Paul, with a beautiful reception at The Blaisdell in Minneapolis. Kristina and Matt were very generous to have me film their special day as I continue to build my first wedding video portfolio, and I couldn't be more amazed with how their wedding celebration turned out. What made it truly special was not only the magical, magnetic energy these two radiate, but the family and friends who attended that shared countless examples of how Kristina and Matt bring out the best in people and their community. It was a privilege to witness it all, and let alone the opportunity to film such an experience as this. Thank you Kristina and Matt!
