A Window Into Your Story
CAPTIVATING AND CREATIVE FILMS THAT LOOK AND FEEL LIKE YOU
OCTOBER 19, 2024 | THE RITZ CARLTON & BAR MARILOU
Hey Mikaela,
I appreciate you reaching out about Maria Fernanda & Salomon's celebration at the Ritz Carelton & Bar Marlou on October 19, 2024. I am available for thier date and the Welcome Party the night before. Having served over 200 happy couples since 2016, I can assure you that their wedding film will be a beautiful work of art that captures their relationship and family coming together to celebrate their marriage.
And it’s those meaningful moments that they will want captured on film the most. In order to make that happen, they need a videographer who:
Creates a film that looks like the day felt & captures their story in a genuine way.
Takes time to get to know them, supports them, & makes them feel comfortable on both sides of the camera.
Is a passionate professional who delivers creative, high-quality work.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve learned that future wedded couples are tired of the templated, overly-sentimental, staged wedding films they see on repeat. They have concerns about not finding a professional and personable filmmaker who can deliver on their promises and produce a piece of art that’s actually worth the investment.
More than anything, they want a wedding film that’s full of meaning and authenticly captures thier relationship and celebration.
You deserve a film that transports you back to your day.
BECAUSE A WEDDING FILM THAT DOESN’T DO THAT IS JUST A COPY AND PASTE PRODUCTION.
“Andrew was easy to work with, very communicative, and his videos were high end and dreamy.”

Intentional Connection
Where some videographers don’t take the time to connect or understand their couples, I get to know you and learn your story deeply before your wedding day. My relationship and connection with you are the driving force in everything I do.
So, I’ll start by listening, and I’ll make the effort to get to know you. Then, I’ll treat you like a friend and remove the stress of preserving the moment so you are free to enjoy it.
01
Multiple Perspectives
Unlike a majority of the wedding filmmakers on the market, I don’t just focus on the couple the entire time I’m filming. Instead, I incorporate family, friends, speeches, and multiple perspectives to help tell your story.
In this way, you’ll have something to look forward to listening to, and you’ll enjoy watching the compilation of joyful memories, people, and love.
02
Creative Balance
Instead of being too hands-on (making the day a production) or too hands-off (giving little to no direction or creativity), I respectfully and efficiently capture your day in a balanced way. This means knowing how to offer the perfect amount of direction, initiative, and creativity, in a way that personally fits you and your personality, and preferences.
As a result, you’ll feel confident in front of the camera while still being able to enjoy and soak in each moment of the day, uninterrupted.
03
Professional Collaboration
I don’t just show up at your wedding to do “my job” and call it a day. I view it as a team effort and work well with your other vendors – while always keeping your best interests at the forefront.
You can rest assured that I’ll work hard to collaborate and communicate with you, your photographer, your planner, and your other vendors. And will advocate on your behalf.
04
In-House Editing
Rather than capturing your day and sending everything to an outside editor to finish, I carefully and skillfully edit your film in-house. This guarantees your keepsake is created by someone who knows you, your story, and your vision well.
05
“You spend so much time and energy on planning a wedding for the day to fly by and feel like a blur. Being able to watch the day back was the best investment we could have made.”
- Maggie
I BELIEVE CAPTURING YOUR DAY ON FILM IS ESSENTIAL
Only then can you fully immerse yourselves in your day, knowing that the special moments and emotions are being recorded. Ready for you to relive anytime.
Sample Films
I pulled two films from my collection that I think you’ll enjoy watching.
Rachael & Tony
This sweet couple had an intimate wedding in Milwaukee WI with a short ceremony on the rooftop where they exchanged personal vows followed by a fun portrait session at the lakefront, and a fun party afterwards at a brewery!
Kaitlyn & Owen
This sweet couple eloped to Cabo Mexico and exchanged private vows on the shore after a sweet first look moment. With your event being a less formal & non traditional celebration, I hope this will give you an idea of what I can do!
Films built on integrity, reliability, and heart.
