Q: How did you get started as a film maker?
A: My original major in college before I became a teacher (I also do that) was radio and TV broadcasting. I have always been a real “gear geek” when it comes to cameras and such. I also LOVE storytelling… and weddings (particularly getting to tell the “story of the day” is one of my favorite things to do). 2026 will be my 20th year of making wedding films.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: “Gentle and Intentional” That is to say, I appreciate the "softness and emotion" of a day like this… and emotion is everything to me. I feel like when I sit down to make the films/ tell the story, I am pulled towards the moments that seem to be authentic in design (like the details, venue, etc) and the emotions of the moments that are “gold”… like a first look, a mom’s teary eyes, a maid-of-honor’s authentic joy, etc. I LOVE these moments, and am very intentional to use them while also telling the story of the day and how it played out.
Q: What specific services do you offer?
Packages ranging from 6-8 minute highlight films to longer 12-15 minute short films
All packages indue a full edit of your ceremony and speeches (this is not an add-on with us. You get an edit of those no matter what)
No “hourly” structure for our packages which helps everyone to not feel beholden to the clock (we can explain this more in a phone consult)
Add-ons available like rehearsal coverage, FOMO (fear of missing out) edit, and even RAW footage for those interested
No travel costs
2 decades of experience to offer insight into many aspects of the day
Q: What’s your favorite part about working at The Felt?
A: There are no bad angles :) Literally such a beautiful and perfect backdrop for a wedding day. It’s just a real magical place to film, because everything is gorgeous.
Q: Favorite spot on the estate?
A: In the summer/ fall, doing golden hour off the back corner of the “school house” (outdoor ceremony site) is pure magic. Such great light, so many options for beautiful shots. I always say that couples willing to trust me as their film maker will always find I will get them the most beautiful final results. That spot is one of them (but now everyone knows my secret) :-/
Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give?
A: If you are intentional to genuinely put your trust in your vendors you’ve hired for your big day, we will take great care of you. The more you allow yourself to be present, and let us worry about timelines, who has the rings, and whether Uncle Frank has his boutonniere on… the better day you will have. Seriously, turn on that mental record button, and soak in every moment. It sound cliche’… but it goes VERY fast. And that’s why we’re here to capture the memory for you.
Q: What is the best way to reach you?
A: The “Contact Us” form on my website is how I take official requests (and helps me stay incredibly organized). Filling that out gives me immediate notice from you, and you immediate access to me as you prepare for booking a film maker who will love you well, work hard for your whole family, and strive to give you a genuine “keepsake” that will be enjoyed long after you and I are gone from this world (literally generations to come will be able to enjoy your day).
