weddings

A poll of The Knot's brides mirrors a regret that is commonly echoed from brides past. "I regret not hiring a professional videographer." Here's to the brides that found it in the budget to get those sentimental tears and hilarious dance moves on film.  

 

Olivia & DJ

It’s always fun filming for friends, which made this wedding extra special. DJ and I have been running around the country working on creative ventures for a number of years, but being able to film his and Olivia’s intimate COVID-era wedding was something else entirely. Lots of fun and beauty in this one, which is fully reflective of the people they are.

Sofia & Mike

A breezy O‘ahu ceremony for two kind and genuine souls to become one. Mike, an Army doctor and Sofia, his elementary school teacher bride tied the knot surrounded by family, friends, and the warm island trade winds. Hawai’i is always picturesque, but two people in love outshines it all.

 
 

Shaylyn & Zack

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but brides and grooms have promises to keep. Zack and Shaylyn were college sweethearts who followed their dreams to Seattle. And when two designers get married you can rest assured thoughtful and personal beauty will follow. And, in a move that would no doubt make their college selves proud, their reception was complete with glow sticks and midnight pizza for all.

Graci & Eric

A wedding plucked from a fairytale. You’d be hard-pressed to guess that this elegant manor estate venue resides in none other than Des Moines, Iowa. Every detail from the florals and lace to the garden ceremony were picture perfect. The only thing that could possibly top it all off was the impeccable dance moves of the whole crew.

COMMERCIAL

If you've ever stuttered a little bit when someone asks what you do, we understand. Not all jobs are straightforward and not all trades have an elevator pitch. Sometimes the only way to help someone understand is to quite literally show them. 

 
 

New Legend 4x4

Deep in the heart of America lies the soul of a legend. The fine folks at New Legend 4x4, pulling from their Midwest work ethic and West Coast hustle, refine the soul into the finest International Scouts in the world. Take a peak behind the curtain.

Andre Assous

Fall down a Hawaiian rabbit hole with the best from Andre Assous, luxury footwear for women.

First hawaiian bank

Two local commercial spots highlighting First Hawaiian Bank’s ATM locations at Zippy’s and 7-11.

Scout of Marion

“She’s the kind of person that travels all over the world and can’t wait to bring back the perfect, most ‘you’ thing that she found and paint the picture for you of where it was and who was making it and what the air smelled like that day." Scout of Marion is a boutique of boutiques, a world’s fair hidden in plain sight.

The Sewist

Sarah has carved out a small corner of the world and planted a garden of elegance and simplicity. An Eden, drenched in a dew of warm joy. I hope you enjoy this glance into her life as much as I did.

THE LAYLOW x sOsupersam

The newest hotel in Waikiki is a mid-century modern oasis steeped in aloha. Entrusted with the opportunity to show visitors and locals alike what that means, this video and others like it are a peak inside - through the lens of people from all walks of life. SOSUPERSAM, a performing artist and dj from LA, took to The Laylow to work and relax, tucked away from the commotion of Waikiki. Work created in collaboration with Hawaii's oldest ad agency, MVNP.

 
 

FONTENELLE SUPPLY CO.

What happens when America's young National Park explorers find themselves with goods that aren't made to last? Fontenelle Supply Co. A group of four friends who are preserving the heritage of their grandfathers through traditional manufacturing and supporting brands who do the same. Hear their story and what matters to them beyond the leather, wood, and axes. 

FrEES FRAME PHOTOGRAPHY

Most people know it can be hard to figure out what working with a freelancer will actually be like. Sure, you like their stuff on Instagram, but will they be awkward to have at your wedding or in your home? We wanted to create a video for Frees Frame Photography that took the guesswork out of it. To show exactly what it's like to be on a shoot with this guy. See his colorful review here and another fun extra from the shoot here.

Personal Projects

Sharing in other people's best days and life's work is a special privilege, but it's a category all its own when the passions are your own to explore. This is the work that inspires and informs the way every other project gets done, the space to develop a unique point-of-view. 

competitor

Few things are as beautiful as the slog against incredible odds, and when it comes to be being a competitor, you have to wrestle with more than just your opponent.

As a freshman in high school Will didn’t make the Varsity tennis team. Fours years later, in his freshmen year of college, he plays on a nationally ranked team, all because he refuses to leave anything in the tank, and instead leaves it all on the court.

Fishing & Coffee

A trip to a secret fishing hole yields success in more ways than one.

The Hastings expedition

I have the pleasure of presenting, on behalf of The Royal Film Academy, this recovered & restored documentary, The Hastings Expedition. However, the expeditionary team "fell off the map" as it were and never returned home. We're trying to pinpoint their location, and would greatly appreciate any and all assistance.

I've been directed to inform you that a reward of 663.95 Rupees will be sent via Venmo to whoever can provide the team's location.

9/11 MUSEUM

The 9/11 Museum and One World Observatory so beautifully etched the memory of the lives lost and the resilient spirit of the city of New York that even a small project to help others remember is an honor to share.


 
 
 
 

Felix Culpa: A Fortunate fault

Felix Culpa, meaning "A Fortunate Fault" follows adaptive athlete, Luke Ericson, as he trains to compete in the Wodapalooza Fitness Festival. Luke was born missing his left arm, the majority of his left lung, and subsequently developed scoliosis and type 1 diabetes. Despite being what most people would consider disabled, Luke views his situation as a gift, and one he is determined to use.

First documentary

Documentary-style videography is a pretty specific style that at its best is used for, well, documentaries. This project started as a Kickstarter campaign and with the help of generous sponsors from the Adaptive Athlete, Crossfit, and Hawaiian communities became an inspirational ode to the power of perseverance in us all.

TRAVEl & Non-Profit

A celebration of some of the greatest places on Earth. From the streets of Manhattan to the sands of Oahu.

 

A Hui Hou

The Hawaiian phrase ‘a hui hou’ means, “Until We Meet Again,” which is always the sentiment when I leave Hawaii. Whether it was a trip to visit friends, or moving back, there is a majesty to these islands that never ceases to leave me in awe.

48 Hours in portland

Not much can get the juices flowing like an impromptu trip to the beautiful Pacific North West.

 
 

charity: water ball

charity: water’s annual fundraising ball has been a yearly staple of the nonprofit’s march to solving the world’s water crisis, all in our generation. This particular Ball was hosted at The Met, and saw all goals shattered in record-breaking ways.

New story charity // boliva

New Story has changed the way we address the world housing crisis. What started as community-led building projects has evolved into whole 3D printed communities, which can be built quicker, cheaper, and safer than ever before.

Minnesota North woods // teaser

Some places are better experienced with the camera off and put away, but there's nothing like getting to go back to an old neighborhood or that spot you grew up in and capture who and what makes it so great.
