If Katlin and Parker could bottle their energy and love for life, they’d make a killing! This wedding was so much fun to film, they really made it so easy on us and gave us so much to work with! It doesn’t hurt that they are two of the nicest people under the sun. I had been looking forward to their wedding for a long time and it truly was an honor to be a part of it all. Enjoy their Same Day Edit, which played during dinner at their wedding reception. PS. Parker gets the award for coolest groomsmen gift EVER!
Cristin and Grant: Cincinnati Same Day Edit
You know the day is going to be a good one when the groom invites you to go canoeing with them in the morning. It was an incredible day for Cristin and Grant as they joined hands and lives at the Cincinnati Art Museum in front of their closest friends and family members. We’re honored to have been a part of their day and create their Same Day Edit, which played at dinner during their wedding reception. Enjoy!
Caitlin and Andy: Cincinnati Same Day Edit
In a streak of rainy days, someone, somewhere parted the clouds just for Caitlin and Andy’s gorgeous and intimate wedding. What a great couple, full of life and love for one another and its easy to see when you watch their vows. I’m not sure there was a dry eye in the church as Caitlin started her vows to Andy. This was our first Same Day Edit of the year and they really made it easy for us by giving us so much to work with! Many thanks to my good friends Brian and Kelly with Blue Canister Studios for helping out with this one. I hope you enjoy their Same Day Edit, which played during dinner at their wedding reception.
Kanika and Shaheen: Columbus Wedding Film
Kanika and Shaheen’s AMAZING day began with an early morning Sikh ceremony, which was followed by another ceremony that evening at COSI. The dynamics of the day were spectacular and stunning, everything was more than perfect and incredibly unique including a bouquet of paper flowers. The energy and love between these two couldn’t have been higher or more contagious, it truly was an honor to be a part of such an event!

Rachael and Kyle: Cincinnati Same Day Edit
This is a wedding that had it all- a beautiful couple, an awesome venue, and an amazing team. Rachael and Kyle’s ceremony and reception was held at the stunning Green Acres Arts Center, a location like no other. Early and the day Rachael, her mom and her bridesmaids were treated to massages as they prepared for the day, while Kyle and the guys golfed at a nearby country club before they saw each other in front of this majestic venue. After the ceremony, the celebration continued as their guests danced on the packed floor. Rachael and Kyle wanted to surprise their guests with this Same Day Edit, which premiered at their reception after dinner.

Sonia and Steven: Chicago Same Day Edit
Sonia and Steven’s gorgeous Chicago wedding started at St. James before the celebration reached its peak at Exmoor Country Club. Stunning would be an understatement, this place is rich in design and history to begin with before being transformed for their wedding. We had a blast with them, their friends and families as we created their Same Day Edit which premiered at their wedding reception.
Named one of the Top 25 Studios in the World!
Every year, EventDV (the leading publication for all things event film) names the Top 25 Hottest and Most Influential Filmmaking Studios and we are incredibly honored to have have been included in such a prestigious list. Ok, honored is an understatement. I remember when I started filming weddings, I would look at the EventDV 25 and be so incredibly inspired by so many filmmakers. Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many of them and continue to learn from them. I’ve also had the opportunity to give back and help others grow their studios, its come full circle. My wife Reagan has also gotten involved. She and our friend Jen Moon of Northernlight Filmworks created POSH; an educational and inspirational resource for women filmmakers. It has been amazing to watch her inspire and empower so many others.
Words truly can’t describe how much this award means, as John Goolsby put it, ‘its the highest honor awarded to an event filmmaker’.
This recognition certainly would not be possible without Josh and Sarah who continue to strive for the best and amaze me with their creative genius.
Oh yeah…
We were at Disney World for our family vacation when I found out about making the list, so it only seemed appropriate that I make this fun clip. Enjoy!
Jessica and Andy: The Same Day Edit
I can remember first meeting Andy and Jessica in the studio and how excited he was for his wedding. He wanted it to be perfect and in the end, it was nothing short of that, actually it was more than perfect! Ok, so the weather didn’t get the memo, but that didn’t stop their guests from witnessing one of the most stunning weddings I’ve ever seen. They shared their vows in the Hall of Mirrors, then the room was flipped for their beautiful reception. Andy was on top of the world and Jessica was right there with him. It was a huge honor to film their wedding and work alongside them, their families and an incredible professional team that was there to make sure that this would be a night to remember. Enjoy their Same Day Edit which premiered at their reception that night!

Meagan and Rob: Coming Attraction
What could be better than a beautiful Winter wedding? A Winter wedding where the bride is hoping for snow! Secretly I was hoping for snowfall but when Meagan told me that she too was hoping for it, I knew this was going to be FUN! Meagan and Rob’s wedding took place at the historic Ohio Statehouse in the stunning rotunda. Between the ceremony and reception, we went outside to have a little fun and couldn’t believe our eyes when the good stuff was falling from the sky! This was an incredible event filled with so much personality and details. Enjoy their coming attraction!

Jeannett & Mike: The Same Day Edit
Under cloudless fall day in Cincinnati, Jeannett and Mike were married at St. Mary’s Cathedral which was packed with friends and family which had come to witness this epic event. Their day started with their separate preparations, Jeannett at her childhood home, actually the home her grandparents had also lived in and Mike hanging with the guys in a local suite. When I first arrived, Jeannett handed me a plateful of her mother’s homemade cookies, which I HIGHLY recommend you finding a way to get your hands on one (dozen). Seriously, they are that good! Only a few hours later, Jeannett was making her way through the player tunnels at Great American Ballpark and out through the dugout to meet her awaiting groom for the first time that day. It doesn’t get any better than that! A few hours after that, they would be right back there as husband and wife celebrating with their friends and family with a baseball themed reception, complete with ballpark food, a baseball cake, and amazing decor. Mike is a graphic designer and he created everything from the invitations, to the table place cards. It was a very unique and personal reception. I had the honor of sharing the day with Annie and Toby Varland of Varland Photography. They were amazing to work with and took some amazing shots of us in action, including the ones below. Jeannett and Mike wanted a Same Day Edit, which is a short film of their day shown that night during dinner. What made their’s really different is that it was shown on 25 televisions around the room and a HUGE screen simultaneously. It was an incredible experience from beginning to end, and I hope you enjoy their Same Day Edit!
