Meeting my couples, sharing their stories, capturing the way their voices crack with emotion during their vows, the way their families hug, toast and dance with them.
I genuinely obsess over every little detail because I believe every second matters within the grand story of your day. Each shot, each frame is thoughtfully crafted to recreate every feeling from beginning to end.

Second Shooter:
I always have a second shooter at every wedding to keep things on schedule, get additional shots and ensure not a single second is missed. Fun vibe and banter included.
Detailed Storytelling:
I’m continuously noting little things throughout the day – from music to vibe, I meticulously recreate how your day felt in your film.
Relaxed & Natural:
I’m not about taking away from the time or magic of your day, and I treat each couple like friends (not actors). Every couple is unique, and I adapt to you, honoring your distinct vibe – whether it be family-oriented, faith-centered or party-focused (or any combo of all three). Variety is the spice of life.
Collaborative:
I always work alongside your photographer and vendor team for the best experience, the best film AND the best photos possible. Your photographer needs help with a shot? I’m there! Need help hanging the dress? I’m there!
Creative:
I believe in creating good flow and keeping the film continually engaging, making it something you'll want to watch repeatedly—not just leave on the shelf. I put a lot of thought into lighting and angles so that everyone looks their best—because everyone is beautiful and everyone deserves good light!
FAVORITE HOBBIES:
Waterskiing on Norris Lake is my happy place. I can't imagine a place more peaceful. I love color and design and am a bit of a boujee nerd at times. I also love all things water—lakes, oceans, rivers—and enjoy hiking.
WEDDING FILMOGRAPHY:
Over 200 wedding films created and counting…
FAVORITE MOVIES:
Gran Turismo, The Breakfast Club, Bruce Almighty, Pursuit of Happiness, Inception, Bad Teacher, Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Favorite Authors:
Margaret Peterson Haddix, Rick Riordan, Anthony Horowitz, Eoin Colfer
Local Claim to Fame:
I fundraised and installed Lake Loramie State Park Disc Golf Course as my Eagle Scout Project. By an unexpected sequence of events, one of the top PDGA designers in the US visited the course and gave substantial design input.
MOST KNOWN AS:
Fun, goofy, smart, and driven. The techy one in the family.
While I’m director/filmmaker/editor of every Dream It Digital wedding film, I do have an incredible team to support me on wedding days. My trained second shooters and assistants are friendly, warm, professional – and most importantly FUN! They’re always on hand to help with the little details, get additional shots and ensure not a moment passes us by.

My passion for filmmaking led me to create Dream It Digital, where I combine my love for cinema with my dedication to capturing life’s most meaningful moments.
[OPENING SCENE: THE FAMILY FARM, FORT LORAMIE, OHIO]
I went to college for a business degree with a concentration in marketing and a minor in entrepreneurship. But I always thought I was going to be a lawyer, maybe owning a law firm.
I always loved the idea of owning my own business, but never thought it would become a reality. I even had an internship with the City of Dayton prosecutor’s office. I took coursework for my LSATs and thought after college I would go to law school.
I’m not just hitting the record button and following you around. I’m here to craft a work of art that captures your love, your journey, and your dream.
After college, I took a year off to work in marketing and create commercials locally. I got very involved in scripting the commercials, planning the shots, and eventually filming.
From that work, I was eventually asked to do a wedding or two. At first, I was really hesitant. It sounded like a lot of pressure. But as soon as I shot my first wedding, I was hooked. This was it. This was the dream coming to life.

PLOT TWIST:
Growing up on our family’s 80-acre farm in Fort Loramie, Ohio, I loved reading (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson – anything with adventure and magic!) and being outside. My brother and I would create our own mini-movies, and I captured everything from school projects to epic creek adventures. In those early days, I was just having fun, but looking back, it all makes sense.
