WEDDING, COMMERCIAL, and LIFESTYLE FILMMAKER. SERVING NORTHERN ARIZONA AND BEYOND.
Joseph and Rebekah were married at The Sycamore Venue in Flagstaff, AZ. It was an emotional day filled with song, heartfelt vows, prayer, and when the sun set, an epic party. Full film above, preview below.
When the bride professional choreographs fight scenes, you get out the light sabers. I loved filming this incredible wedding at The Gardens at Viola’s in Flagstaff, AZ. Full film above, preview below.
Kate and Steven have a COVID love story. They met online, chatted on the phone for hours, and they could both tell something was different. After Kate jumped on an airplane to meet him face to face, she instantly knew Steven was the one. My favorite part of the wedding was during Kate’s dad’s toast when he said that the first time he met Steven, he too agreed that Steven was the one. Nailed it Dad!
Kendall and TJ were married at a beautiful family vacation cabin in Flagstaff. The cabin is a sacred place for TJ. It has been the location where invaluable family memories have been made, including memories of dating Kendall. This was one of these weddings where I could tell that Kendall and TJ could not wait to become husband and wife. Their excitement was contagious and the energy was high. Their vows made me laugh out loud, and I loved that I could capture and preserve them forever. Congrats Kendall and TJ! Full film above, preview below.
Kenzie and Cedric are extremely adventurous. A quick look at their Instagram shows them dirt biking, efoiling, biking, and they were not afraid to incorporate this into their wedding. Kenzie and Cedric have close ties to the owners of the Sycamore Venue. Kenzie, a very experienced rider, was familiar with the horses on the property and received permission to go behind the fence with the horses and sit bareback on her favorite horse. It was so gorgeous. Also unforgettable was their grand entrance on Onewheels. Nearly the entire bridal party rode them in, and then Cedric rode in carrying Kenzie. It was unbelievable. For their grand exit, they left the property riding double on the most beautiful dirt bike. It is such a privilege to film these incredible events! Congratulations Kenzie and Cedric!

Natalie and John had the most beautiful wedding at Little America in Flagstaff, AZ. The Little America has a lovely outdoor ceremony space and fast access to ponderosa forest. It is very fun to film there, because we got footage that looks like we were way out in the woods, yet we were on property, just a minute walk from the ballroom. It is a great venue for an outdoor ceremony, indoor reception and lodging for your guests. The suite they had to get ready in was so spacious and pretty. It turned out that the world championship of frisbee golf was also being held at Little America, which was very cool and it didn’t affect the wedding at all.
Natalie and John shared beautiful vows at their ceremony, and at the reception they seemed to get intimate time with all of their guests. Congratulations!! Full film above, preview below.
When Lauren told me she was getting married in January in Flagstaff, one of the first things she said was, “I love snow!” Lucky for her, it was one of the snowiest winters in history. Lauren and Kyle were actually married outside of Flagstaff in Munds Park at the beautiful Foxboro Ranch Estates. This property is conveniently located, private, and gorgeous. The ceremony took place outdoors on the covered bridge. I’ve filmed multiple ceremonies here, and IMO, it requires varsity, big league videography skills. You’ve got drop offs toward water, narrow walkways, shaky plank flooring, and a long aisle, but if I do say so myself, I nail it every time, and then sleep very hard that night.
The reception was inside the beautiful lodge with the unforgettable ponderosa tree. Lauren, an accomplished baker, baked her own wedding cake, as well as delicious individual cheesecakes. Lastly, I will never forget her glorious, thrifted white coat. What an incredible way to start 2023! Full film above, preview below.
Hannah and Paul were married at Flagstaff Ranch. It was a chilly November day, but with hand warmers, and an indoor reception, it was absolute magic. Hannah wore a gorgeous silvery blue Hayley Paige dress covered in stars. I’ve never seen a dress like it, and I absolutely loved it. Full film above, preview below.
The Riordan Mansion is a historic building, built by two lumberjack brothers in 1904. It’s conveniently located in the heart of Flagstaff, practically on NAU campus. Sabrina was given a beautiful room to get ready, and the grounds of the mansion were a dream to film. The most memorable moment was when Sabrina and Tate’s pups barked in approval during their ceremony kiss. Preview above, and the full film has been kept private per the couple’s request.
Laura and Spencer were married at the beautiful BellaVue Estate in Flagstaff, AZ. This was my first wedding at this classy Flagstaff venue, and I’m so grateful I was able to film there. This is a fabulous venue if you are looking for lodging for yourself and your closest guests at the wedding location. The mansion is charming and elegant, and I wish I would’ve had to time to explore all the beautiful bedrooms. The estate is also centrally located in Flagstaff.
During the ceremony, the officiant said to Spencer “Do you promise to give her your unwavering support and the freedom to be herself?” He heartily agreed and Laura promised the same to Spencer. This may be one of the best things we can do for those we love. As I filmed their wedding and heard their story, it was clear to me that Laura and Spencer are already doing this and I couldn’t be happier for this compassionate couple.

Cris and Tim used to be my neighbors, and I just love them. We would exchange baked goods often. She makes incredible banana muffins with a streusel topping. She came to me this past spring and said, “I want to talk to you about wedding videography.” I said “For who?” and she said, “For me!”. Cris and Tim have been together for over 20 years. I would be lying if I didn’t say I thought they were already married. Their ceremony was so beautiful, and unlike any I have filmed before. These are two people 100% choosing to get married because they love each other unconditionally. Through good times, bad times, different phases of life, they still choose each other. Even more sweet, their adult daughter was able to be a maid of honor, witnessing her parents speak their vows to one another. Yes, I cried. Preview above, full film below.
Jaclyn and Patrick are climbers and, surprise…dancers. They told me they had a simple choreographed first dance that was no big deal. Well, they absolutely killed it with a full ballroom routine. They were both so confident and maintained steamy eye contact. Those dance lessons really paid off. I’ve received numerous comments about how magical their chemistry is, and I definitely agree. Viola’s was a fabulous venue for their wedding. The gardens were at peek beauty and their friends and family tore up the dance floor. So much love to Jaclyn and Patrick!

Chad and Seda have an unforgettable love story. Seda came to Flagstaff from Turkey for school. She met Chad, and they fell in love. She was planning to go back to Turkey before starting her PhD, and did temporarily. Chad tells a story during his vows about their last afternoon together before she returned to Turkey. The were coming home from Sedona and heading up Oak Creek Canyon when the song “Always Remember Us This Way” by Lady Gaga came on. Chad looked over to see a tear falling down her cheek, and knew then he would do whatever it took for them to be together.
Seda’s dress was made in Turkey specifically for her. In the films you can also see the Turkish “evil eye” pinned to Chad and many of the guests which brings safety and protection. Seda’s family could not attend the wedding, but they were there on an iPad tuning in even though it was the middle of the night in Turkey. Even better though, after this Flagstaff wedding, Chad and Seda traveled to Turkey for a second wedding. Congratulations you two! Full film above, preview below.
Sarah and Jordan had a micro wedding under the ponderosa pine trees overlooking beautiful, craggy, wilderness. It’s a journey outside of Flagstaff, AZ to reach this spot, but the effort comes with great reward.
One thing I will never forget about this wedding was the desire Sarah and Jordan had to be surrounded by their loved ones as they kissed for the first time as husband and wife. The photo above is their actual first kiss after they were pronounced man and wife. I had never seen this at ceremony, and it was unforgettable.
Jordan and Sarah are both piano players and met by playing piano at their church. He would help her with keyboard setup on the days he wasn’t playing. Eventually she asked if he could come over and help with her guitar. Real love stories like this are the most wonderful reminder that life is beautiful.
Ashley and Darick had the final 2021 wedding at Aldea Weddings in the Woods. It was a beautiful, crisp day, and the oaks were still showing off their fall covers. This Flagstaff, AZ venue has a beautiful ceremony location nestled under the ponderosas, a large, covered outdoor dining area, and a fabulous deck for a dance floor. I hope to film here more!
During the ceremony and speeches, there was debate about who was going after who throughout high school and the years that followed. I realized this was all a great sign, as it showed that both were a bit obsessed with the other, and neither were afraid to go big to get what they wanted. I also loved hearing about Darick’s camping trips with the guys, and that all the guys 100% love when Ashely comes along, because she makes the trip better. Seeing a community of friends and family rally behind a couple is one of my favorite things about weddings. Full film above, preview below.
