Brooklyn & Creed
Wedding photo and film that feel like you
Hi Brooklyn & Creed
Your mom reached out about September 16th, and I have been thinking about it ever since. We have shot at Howe Farms plenty of times, though never yet in the Apple Barn, so that one is still on my list. A September wedding there is about as good as it gets.
The reason I do photo and video as one team is simple. When you hire them separately, two vendors end up standing in the same spot wanting the same moment, and one of them loses. Here nobody is competing. We plan the day together, we cover it together, and you deal with one person instead of two.
What I am watching for all day is the in between. Your mom the second she sees you. The hand squeeze halfway down the aisle. The friend who laughed so hard they had to sit down. Those happen once and they do not wait for a camera to get into position, so I stay ahead of the day instead of chasing it.
The other half of the job is how the day feels while it is happening. You should not feel managed. Most of the time you will forget we are there. When you do need direction I will give it to you gently, and you will look like yourselves, not like people being posed. My goal is that you get to the end of the night having actually been at your own wedding instead of running it.
Below you will find three collections. Take a look whenever you are ready.
What I Am Actually Building For You
Something You Rewatch
The bar is not work that looks good the week it lands. It is a gallery and a film you still put on years from now. Real audio, real moments, and an edit that does not perform the day at you. It just catches it and gets out of the way.
A Day You Get To Live
One team means one plan and one point of contact. I stay ahead of the moments so you never have to manage them, and when you need direction I give it quietly and get out of the way again.
The Whole Thing, Not A Montage
The full ceremony. Every toast. Every song. That is what the full length film is for, and the gallery works the same way. True to color, edited to last, built around the moments you tell me matter most. The kind of thing you hand down.
Three Collections
Every collection includes a full length film of your day
The Directors Cut
Pick this one if you want the whole day on record, from getting ready through the last song, and you would rather have too much than wonder later what got missed.

“When my husband and I started wedding planning, we decided that our first priority was photography and videography and that it would be our biggest investment for the wedding. It was all worth it. Pictures and videos is all you get after any special event for your memories, so please make sure you invest in this and I swear you will never regret it.”
Karoline Sloane · Google reviewWhat Is The Home Video Edit?
The Home Video Edit is every clip from your wedding day, not a highlight reel. The ceremony in full, the speeches, the first dances, and all of the quiet in between parts that most films leave on the cutting room floor.
It is edited to feel honest and unhurried, so years from now you are not just seeing the best moments. You are reliving the whole day. It is included in The Directors Cut.
About The Story Session
Think of it as your engagement session, with a little more purpose behind it. We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, and we spend an hour together. Part of it is practical. By the time your wedding day comes around, being photographed and filmed already feels normal, so nothing about the day feels like a production.
The bigger part is the story. How you met, what nearly did not happen, where the two of you ended up. That backstory adds something no highlight reel can manufacture. It gives everyone watching a real sense of who you are before the ceremony even starts.
Video Guest Book
An interactive video station where your guests can leave personal messages, well wishes, and memories throughout the night.
These clips are curated and delivered as a keepsake film you can revisit for years, capturing voices, laughter, and moments that would otherwise be lost.
Personalized Add-Ons
Additional Hour of Coverage
Wedding days run long, and the last hour is usually the loosest one. An extra hour means we are never watching the clock while the moments that matter are still happening.
Additional Shooter
Every collection already includes two photographers, so this is one more set of hands beyond that. In The Home Video it adds a second videographer. In The Directors Cut and The Feature Film it extends your second photographer and second videographer to your full coverage time. With a large guest list the day stops happening in one place. While one camera is on your faces during a toast, someone needs to be on the room reacting to it.
Video On Your Story Session
Your Story Session is already included as a photo session. Adding video turns it into a short sit down interview about how you met and how you got here, and you get a 30 second edit from it. Those clips also work their way into your wedding film, which is the part most couples do not expect. It tells your story to everyone watching before the ceremony even starts.
Video Guest Book
Already included in The Directors Cut and The Feature Film, so this is for The Home Video. With a full room, most of what your guests want to say to you will get lost in the noise. This is how you keep it, in their words, in the moment.
“Josh stayed the whole day into the night and seamlessly blended in with everyone. He contributed to a fun night with his energy, and overall was my go to person for the day.”

The Person Behind The Camera
I have spent 5 years walking alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives, so I understand how personal these decisions feel. My role is to listen closely, guide you with clarity, and make sure nothing about this process feels rushed or transactional. I lead our team with care and intention so your experience feels calm, supported, and aligned from the first conversation to the final film.
What Makes Us Different
Natural Direction
Most teams either over direct or disappear completely.I create a balance of guidance and freedom so you feel comfortable, confident, and still fully yourselves.
Detail Awareness
Most couples do not realize how much small details affect the final result.I actively watch for things like positioning, lighting, and small distractions so your photos and film feel polished without extra effort from you.
One Unified Team
Most couples hire separate photo and video teams.We operate as one unit, so communication is seamless and everything works together instead of competing for attention.
Film Over Highlight
Most wedding videos feel like a montage set to music.I build films around real moments and audio, so your story feels authentic and not just aesthetic.
In Their Own Words
What Happens Next
We Talk It Through
We hop on a quick call where I walk you through each collection, explain why I am recommending them based on your day, and answer any questions you have. We customize if you need it.
I Send The Paperwork
Once you are ready, I send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. Everything in one place, nothing to chase down.
You Sign And Place The Retainer
A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date. It comes off your total, so it is not an extra cost. From there you can pay the balance in installments, or take 5% off your collection by paying half up front, or 10% off by paying in full.
Your Date Is Locked In
That day is yours. From there we start planning the parts that make it feel like you.
We Celebrate
And maybe pop some bubbly. Then we are off to the races.
Some Recent Films
All recent, all at venues with a similar vibe to the Apple Barn
Take Your Time With It
When you are ready, tell me which collection feels closest and we will go from there. If none of them fit exactly, we will build the one that does.
