The most impactful wedding films find the 
threads that make your film feel like you and weaves that through the story of your day. While anyone can get a clip of your first dance, you want a film that makes you feel reconnected. One that takes you back to how it felt to be in the moment.

 And for that, you need an experienced filmmaker who cares. 

With an emphasis on personality,
 storytelling, and your meaningful moments,
 I do just that.

"I'm never going to do that again." That's what I said after filming my first wedding. I had a lot to learn - like everyone stands when the bride comes in, so don't have your shot get blocked - but over time I learned not only what I needed to film, but what a wedding film should REALLY be about.

For me, filming a wedding is about catching the little moments that truly communicate who you are, what makes you tick as a couple. I've gone from being engaged, to married, and now a dad to two awesome kids, and I try to draw on my own experience to make sure I'm getting all the moments for you that I know you'll want down the line!

It's so important to me to do what it takes to tell your story in the most impactful way. Weddings are once in a lifetime events, and my promise to my couples is PGP Wedding Films will give you 110% to make your wedding last more than one day!

Filmmaker

I've been shooting and editing weddings for PGP Films since May 2018. I've been born and raised in Delaware, living here most of my life until I moved to Nashville, TN for four years. I attended Watkins College of Art and fell in love with all aspects of filmmaking! I was even lucky enough to have been mentored throughout my college career by the man who edited Toy Story himself, Robert Gordon. 

After graduation, I moved back home to Delaware and promised myself that no matter what I end up doing, it would be film related. I came across the opportunity with PGP Wedding Films and fell in love with it the very first day.
