Since each job is custom, we need to ask the following questions. Who is your target audience? What is your message? What is the purpose of your video?

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The most important thing is to listen to what they want and what they are trying to achieve. I need as much information to help bring their vision to life. My craft is my passion, my passion is telling their story.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I had gone to college and studied communications. Right out of college I started a landscaping company with my roommate(go figure). After being recruited to a commercial landscaping firm as a operations manager, my bosses wife had a small wedding video company. She asked me to help her out for one wedding and the rest is history. I no longer film weddings, but it was the bread and butter of my business for the first 6 years.
