Welcome!

I shoot weddings and events using a variety of formats, from super8 and 16mm film to stunning HD with the Canon 5D Mark II.

It's a combination of both traditional styles of wedding moviemaking:  part documentary, part art-house.

Let me show you... 


Wedding Short Films!

Okay.  I’ve got an idea that I want to share.

I’m thinking about doing a package that is simple and affordable, yet really beautiful and awesome.  And I’ve been shooting a lot lately with the Canon family of still cameras that are delivering just amazing images in stunning full-frame HD.  So how about a few wedding short films?

I’ll cover the major portions of the day and deliver a simple, yet amazing short movie of your wedding day, complete with music and credits.

I have a few dates still available in 2010 and early 2011.  Call me and let’s talk.  You get an inexpensive, unbelievable wedding video and I get a new demo reel for a new idea.  Everyone wins!

Sept. 2009 at Glen Manor in Portsmouth.
This camera is so cool.

I’m working…more and more highlights will be finished soon and full discs are coming.  Thank you so much for your patience, my 2009 brides, but I promise it will be worth the wait.
