1. What first sparked your interest in the videography?
“I love the additional dimension and feel that video offers in bringing you back. Once I realized that wedding films could be more like movies rather than cheesy home videos, I was sold… There is no better way to relive your wedding day.”
2. What is your must-have item of the job?
“Besides my camera, I always carry my fisheye lens on hand. I love the creative shots and unique angles I can capture with it… a must have.”

3. Any great business advice that you swear by?
“Always plan for the unexpected… no matter if it is your computer, your equipment or just having shout wipes on hand, filming weddings is about capturing the moment no matter what comes your way.”
4. What is the most important personal satisfaction you get with your job?
“We’ve got the best job in the world. Each weekend we get to go to a party and capture one of the most important and significant days of a couples life. We have the opportunity to work with great people and preserve their wedding day for generations to come. It doesn’t get much better than that. Surrounded by beauty, we are constantly challenged to outdo our previous wedding films. I love to think we are creating the couples future daughter’s favorite movie.”
5. If you could work with any one, who would it be?
“I am pretty biased… my wife of 15 years, Renee’. There is something about filming a couples wedding day with the one that you are married to. It also doesn’t hurt working with someone who can read your mind.”

6. If you could have anyone as your client, who would it be?
“I love to film weddings for couples that are truly into each other and their day. They don’t think about stress and the details, but are there to have fun and make memories. Fun clients are the best 
”
7. What has been your all time favorite wedding/event at this point in time?
“I am pretty partial to our recent destination wedding that Renee’ and I shot in Puta Cana. You couldn’t help but get great shots and the days leading up to the wedding were pretty great as well.”
8. What does your normal day consist of?
“Normal… hmmmm… I’ve heard of it, not sure I know what it means though. With wedding cinematography, there is a ton of editing that goes with every hour of footage captured, so I spend of a lot of time staring at a computer screen. I have learned from our business coach and the book, E-Myth Mastery, the importance of blocking our schedule and spending time on our business and not just in our businesses.”
9. Day off and down time are cherished in this industry. How do you spend yours?
“I love to spend any time off with my best friend and wife, Renee’, dreaming of the future and enjoying our 4 amazing kids. I am still not sure if they make us older or keep us young, either way, they sure make life fun.”

10. Anything interesting about your venue/business you want brides to know?
“Renee’ and I have been married for 15 years and are passionate about marriage. It is one of the most important days in your life. We like to think we are in the business of preserving marriages. Not only do we preserve your vows, but we provide you the ability to go back in time and relive your love for each other, when it was the freshest.”
