Style Me Pretty

So Style Me Pretty is quite possibly the most frequented wedding blog in America.

And my Jackson Hole wedding from last year just got featured on it! Such an "out-of-nowhere" surprise and I'm really thrilled to be a part of it.

Here's the link to the post. Scroll past the photos and see my snapshot video of Garrett and Diana's wedding.

Such a thrill.

So about 2 years ago I did a wedding in Las Vegas for Micah and Brittney. That wedding put me in contact with this family, and gave me the immense privilege of shooting a promotional film for something very special. Both Jordan and Tumua are alumni of USC Water Polo. Tumua is now headed for the London Olympics and Jordan is married to an NFL player. They are currently pitching the idea of a television show related to Hawaiian athletes and how they inspire those around them.

This is the promotional film that will be included in the pitch process. This shoot took me to California and Indiana, with many months of securing music licensing, collecting photos, etc. A lot of work.

But worth the effort. This is probably the closest I've been to a client family in my whole time as a videographer/filmmaker. It has been an immense blessing and has taught me a lot about my faith and the world.

These shoots make me a better filmmaker all around. My weddings are better, my corporate shoots are better. Everything is better.

Garrett and Diana - Jackson Hole Wedding

Yes, this wedding film is way too sun-filled to have been shot recently. It was actually last July and it's been done and delivered for many a month. I just came back to it. Needed to find the right music for a web teaser.

I've never been remotely close to a wedding this big in scope. Big 10+ person band, beautiful tent and details, luscious backdrop (the Tetons), campfires, insane florals and just one of the most gracious couples on the planet. A true blessing of a wedding.

And a night at the Amangani resort. Amazing.

The drag of the trip was that my favorite breakfast place in Jackson stopped serving their famous pancakes at 11 a.m. We arrived at about 11:10 - devastating. Small price to pay for sleep I guess (and completely my fault).

Enjoy. Lots to see here. Really moving ceremony and a perfect dinner/reception. A true party.

Ryan and Whitney's Story - Smack, Praise, Tackle

You have to watch it to understand the title (it's more like a love pat). We shot this completely in stealth mode, but totally out in the open. It was Presidents Day and no one was at the Salt Lake Fair Park. We had it all to ourselves. I'm fully convinced that if you just wave to the security and maintenance people at any location, they will convince themselves that you are "supposed to be there."

This shoot was cold. Freezing.

Here's the result of pain and cold. And it's amazing.
