Weddings
Full-day coverage cut into a highlight film and a longer ceremony edit. Quiet camera work, natural sound, and the moments people forget they had.
Weddings, businesses, nonprofits, a band, and the newsrooms where I learned to do it. Shot and edited by me. Five bodies of work below; every video plays in place.

Two auto-repair shops in Ankeny and West Des Moines. One full day of filming every two months, cut into a month of reels: employee spotlights, shop tours, and the kind of behind-the-counter honesty that makes a repair shop feel like a neighbor.
A West Des Moines nonprofit that supplies expecting parents and foster families with clothing, diapers, and essentials, no questions asked. Around 500 families a month, powered by volunteers. The films are built to do what their fundraisers need: show the work and the people behind it.
A Des Moines acoustic duo playing nostalgic covers at weddings and corporate events. Performance footage shot for the site and social, built to do the same job as the Google Ads and SEO work I run for them: book the band.
Alongside the marketing work, I shot for local television news in Des Moines. Deadlines measured in minutes, one camera, no second take. It's where the instinct for what actually makes people watch comes from.
