My Approach to Wedding Films
My name is Brock and I have a passion for telling stories that are intimate and honest. The small fleeting moments throughout the day, the vulnerability as you share your heart during the ceremony, the emotional toasts at the end of a speech, and so much more all go into creatively constructing a bespoke highlight film that serves as an heirloom film for grandkids to see when they want to know the love story of grandpa and grandma….. Also I love to party and have a great time! I’m here to make sure you have fun making memories on your weeding day!
A Highlight film that lets you re-live the day
My goal is to make a highlight film that shows all of the important moments that happen throughout the day while keeping a smooth flow and capturing my couples love.

Cinema cameras are dedicated to shooting video and do not take pictures. Most of them do not have auto focus and need multiple attachments for cinematographers to take full advantage of their skillset.
cinema cameras generally have better dynamic range (can capture more of the light spectrum) and have much more capabilities when capturing color as well.
The image that comes out of the camera is super flat so that a colorist may pick and choose exactly what colors/tones they want to bring out of the image during the color grading process.
