HI, IM EMMA.
I’m a wedding filmmaker, cinema lover, teacher, chronic over thinker, project obsessor, and side-quest enthusiast.
I have always loved film. Both photography and movies. I love being able to tell a story with images.
Most of the year, you’ll find me teaching French, History, Photography, and Videography to high schoolers. Then summer rolls around, and I trade the classroom for weddings.
You might be thinking, why not just take the summer off? Well, I just really I love film! When I’m not filming, I, more likely than not, thinking about filming. I love that I get to be there for the happiest day of peoples lives. It’s something pretty special.
I didn’t have a wedding videographer at my wedding, but my sister surprised me with a highlight film of the day while she was stuck in Paris (booo, COVID!). It meant so much to me then, and I still absolutely love watching it.
That’s a big part of why I chose to start filming weddings. You spend so much on your wedding, and it goes by so quickly, the photos and videos are the only thing you get to keep after the years go by.
So... what am I actually like on your wedding day?
I don’t take myself too seriously.
I love to laugh, make jokes, and have fun, and I want you to feel comfortable enough to do the same.
I’ll chat with your parents and grandparents. I’ll probably make fun of the groomsmen. I will absolutely call them out if nobody is smiling.
And I have to actively remind myself to stop talking long enough to record the ambient sound during weddings…
I’m also not afraid to do whatever ridiculous thing is necessary to get the shot. You may see me crouching behind a bush, speed-walking backwards, or making a questionable decision on the dance floor.(I live by: If you’re holding a camera, it’s professional.)
Basically, I’m there to capture the day as it actually felt, not to turn it into an ultra-serious slow motion montage.
So be yourselves… Laugh when you’re not “supposed” to. Say whatever you want. Give far too many hugs. Dance badly. Do whatever you want because it’s your day.
Me? I’ll bring the camera!
when I say I love film, I mean it.
A few examples of how I see the world…
