Hello! I'm so excited to finally get a website up and running! This has been a desire of mine for a while and it's been so fun getting to have all my work in one place. This site will start to be my professional "home base."
This photo below is my wife, Jessica, and I on a date in Forest Park in Peoria Heights, IL. You'll hear this many times, but I think she's amazing. She's simply the best. I don't apologize if I say that a few hundred times over the course of these blogs :)
I was reinvigorated for my love of cinematography and capturing special moments and events this last week while shooting a wedding and a marriage proposal for some sweet friends. There was just so much joy and whenever I knew I got a great shot, I was so excited for the couple to see it! In my mind I was just yelling, "YOU TWO LOOK SO GOOD, I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE HIGHLIGHT VIDEO NOW!" But alas, I had to go home and edit it all together, which is such a fun process. Creating a story with all the clips is like piecing together an intricate and beautiful puzzle. Everything must fit in the right place to make the who picture come together as it should. So fun and challenging! Both of those highlight films are on my cinematography page HERE.
But this last week was even more fun because my friends were involved and I got to celebrate with them! What's great about this business is that I get to partake in joyous celebrations in others lives, then I get to highlight the celebration and create it into a story for the recipient. How cool is that?! God has been very gracious to me, much more than I deserve. I don't deserve any of these opportunities, but he's given me his Son as atonement for my sin and he continues to be faithful in my life. I really don't want to take these friendships and opportunities for granted, because they are truly special.
I'm excited for future opportunities to capture memories and tell stories! Stay tuned for more content here on this blog about our adventures. You share on Facebook and subscribe to my blogs via email at the link below!
Until next time,
