Originally from Jackson, Ms, my career has taken me to many places all over the world including South America, Europe, the Middle East, and even Israel. As a wedding filmmaker, my approach as a cinematic storyteller is to capture the unique narrative of love and celebration. By building a connection with the couple, I tailor their wedding film to reflect their authentic journey. Through artistic composition, natural lighting, and attention to detail, I create visually stunning sequences that evoke emotions. Sound and music play a vital role in enhancing the storytelling experience. My goal is to deliver a film that preserves memories and evokes an emotional connection, allowing couples to relive their special day. Featured in Munaluchi Bride, Black Bride Magazine, & more
