Experience
At my core, I strive to create films that feel authentic, with intentional nuance and tinges of dreaminess. Your wedding film isn’t just a “video” to watch and jog your memory, but rather an adventure that transports you back and allows you to revel in the emotions and beauty of your wedding day, just like the first time.

Unique
If you’re like many of my couples, you aren’t looking for a “cookie cutter” film. You’re looking for something that not just looks right, but feels right when you watch it. It may be hard to describe, but you know it when you see it. To create this tailored experience, I start off by learning and understanding your aesthetic, style, and personalities, ultimately allowing me to embrace and capture the nuance of your day.

Trust
You’re only going to have one wedding day, so it’s imperative that you have faith that your filmmaker will do it right. You hear it time and time again- “your wedding day will go by so fast!” By trusting my creative vision, you can relax on your wedding day, and allow yourself to be present and in the moment, which in turn allows me to capture your best self.

Emotion
I am going to be there to witness, capture, and share some of the most important and vulnerable moments of your life. I don’t take this lightly, and care deeply about you and your families. I want you to feel safe with me, and know that I am here to do everything in my power to help you feel comfortable, because when you’re able to live in the moment- that’s when the magic happens.
Connection
As a storyteller, I want to know what makes you, you. I want to hear what you’re most excited about, and learn all the little details that make your day so uniquely yours. I am documenting one of the most important days of your life, and to do that, I make sure you are heard and understood.
Creativity
I consider myself equal parts planner and free-spirit. I begin your day with a detailed plan and outline, but beyond that, I let my creativity drift alongside the ebbs and flows of your dynamic wedding day. This energy continues into the editing process, where I spend 60-80 hours crafting your wedding film.
Authenticity
You are real humans, with real emotions, and that’s what I want to capture- not a mask. That’s when the magic happens- when you’re able to relax and be in the moment. Through discreet filmmaking and careful direction when necessary, I help you feel comfortable, which allows you to be your authentic selves.
“From the very beginning SHE took the time to get to know us, our families, and what we were hoping for as an end result. We now have not only a beautiful cinematic highlight film of our day (which we've gotten SO many compliments on), but also all of the other important moments of the day captured on film to their full extent.”

“As a planner, I have many things to keep track of, however (Films Nouveau’s) team knows exactly what to do, when to be there and how to be "invisible" to the guests (I did not need to worry for a second)! My clients wedding video highlighted their day beautifully and I cannot wait to work with Films Nouveau again!”
