We all know that our brains are a little funky, and that even our favorite memories can fail us. That's a main reason why this work is so damn important to me, because someday we'll all need some help to remember how we lived and what it felt like.
Imagine having a film of your grandparents, or the loved ones long gone getting married. How powerful it would be to get to witness their uninhibited joy, and hear their voices again as they make promises to each other. These are the moments that only video can resurrect when our people pass and our memories start to go.
Because your wedding film isn't just for the here and now - it's a reminder for your future self when you want to relive the feeling. It's a gift you'll leave behind for the people you love to cherish in your absence. Your wedding film is a legacy that will transcend generations.
While a photo freezes a moment in time (which we love, obvi), video takes it ten steps further, capturing the whole experience - sound, movement, atmosphere. It gives you a front-row seat to the chaotic magic of your day, allowing you to truly relive those moments in ways that photos just can’t.
I thrive on the real stuff, and that's where audio comes in. With audio from your entire day driving the narrative, your wedding film will be an authentic depiction of your one-of-a-kind celebration. The vows you exchange, the laughter from your loved ones, the "Oh shit, I forgot I was wearing a mic" moments - these are the elements that make your film uniquely yours. By incorporating natural audio and capturing the authentic moments that happen, we're creating an experience that reflects the true spirit of a day that's undeniably yours.
I get it - video can feel intimidating as hell. But the good news is that your wedding isn't some giant production, and I won't treat it as such. There's no pressure to perform for the cameras here - documenting your authentic, wonderful selves will always be my focus.
By keeping my set-up low-key and giving you the space to be yourself, you'll forget all about the camera. Because when you're in the moment with the person you love, that's where the magic happens.
When picturing your wedding day, it's easy to forget that you have the freedom to do whatever the hell you want - even if it's something completely out of the ordinary. The wedding industry may be saturated with outdated traditions and weird trends that don't align with your style, but you don't have to follow those rules. Your day should be a true reflection of you, your values, and your relationship.
And as your filmmaker, I'll be fully present for all of it. From the heartfelt glances to inside jokes to a sneaky butt grab during portrait time, no detail will go unnoticed. My goal is to capture your authenticity, to showcase what makes you unapologetically yourselves, and to celebrate the beautiful uniqueness of your story. No matter how you choose to celebrate, I can't wait to support you every step of the way in bringing your vision to life.
We definitely had some concerns about my partner and his lack of comfort in front of the camera. We ended up feeling very at ease and honestly forgot about the camera here and there. After the session we were at ease and happy with the time that we had spent together. I could not have anticipated how emotional it would feel to see the view of my home and life and love through someone else’s view. I really treasure what I have from this.
Our wedding video is wonderful and captures us and our day perfectly. Janet put so much care and time into making this so special for us. We are so appreciative to have this video to look back on our wedding day for years to come. We are so glad we chose Janet as our wedding videographer and are lucky to call her a friend now too!
Janet makes the whole process so simple and her personality is so casual yet professional, which made us really comfortable. We loved how well she fit in with everyone, the wedding party is still talking about how much they enjoyed having her there. While sometimes being filmed all day can be awkward, she made my partner and myself so comfortable with the camera the whole time.
Our wedding video is AMAZING!!! The tears came flooding back while watching. Watching this brings me right back to that day and Janet captured it perfectly! She is truly talented in what she does!
We absolutely love everything about our wedding video! We loved having Janet with us on such a special day and are obsessed with the video that she gave us.
Our wedding video reflects how much fun we had on our day. Janet is an amazing videographer, and we loved having her with us. We highly recommend her for your video needs!

Each fully edited wedding film is provided through a private online link for you to download and share. I recommend downloading your film promptly!
You can expect to receive your film within 8-12 weeks. I understand that this may seem like a long time, so I'll provide you with a 1-minute teaser for social media within 2 weeks of your special day!
Raw footage refers to all the footage captured on your wedding day, consisting of numerous individual clips. As it is in its unedited format, it may appear a bit chaotic without effects like color correction, stabilization, or enhanced audio.
You have the option to purchase the raw footage before or after your wedding for $900. It will be delivered on a hard drive, so please let me know if you have access to a Mac or PC for formatting purposes.
Unfortunately, no. Copyright and licensing issues prevent the use of popular songs, and legal matters surrounding entertainment are hella strict. However, I have subscriptions to various music licensing services and am confident in finding suitable legal alternatives. As a big music enthusiast (can you tell?), selecting the perfect songs for your film is an essential part of my process.
