“My mom recorded and documented everything about me growing up from my first school drawing to videos of me being part of a school play. Being able to go back and look through things that I didn't remember about myself was such a trip. While looking through all the different albums and Sony Hi8 cassette video tapes I noticed a VHS in the very back that said wedding video. I had to go and purchase a used VHS player from eBay to even watch the tape, but when I did I was in awe. I didn't realize at the time how lucky I was to be able to watch my parent's wedding video 35 or so years after it happened. I realized that as a wedding videographer, I am not only making a video for the couple, but for their parents, grandparents, their eventual children, and their eventual grandchildren. I realized that what I capture during the wedding day is carried on for generations. I adopted a new sense of importance and purpose to my work that I previously hadn't seen and now always approach a wedding with the mindset of capturing something that would be shared across generations. In that way, I believe wedding videography brings something special that other fields of videography don't and that is largely why I love capturing weddings. ”
