My journey started in September 2018 doing sports videography, doing videos for my High School's Football team for community service hours and I fell in LOVE with it.

One local family knew I did this and wanted me to film their wedding in 2019

They didn't want to spend much money on a legit wedding videographer

and decided to give me a chance and the rest is history!
