 While auditioning (on a
whim) for a role in a student film, I discovered my true calling. It
was on the set, the first day of shooting, that the light came on. I
discovered my calling - the art of filmmaking. Placing my eye behind the
lens, capturing images that underscore the essence of emotion is what I
was born to do.
Since my fledgling days
as an actor, I have undertook a lot of professional training both in
the formal classroom setting and the school of hard knocks to start a
career in the Film and Television industry. My training includes The
Film and Television Workshops of Rockport (Maine), where I studied to
become a Camera Assistant in the Motion Picture Industry. After a decade
in the film world I made the switch to video to start honing my own
skills as a Shooter/ Director. With the advent of video cameras
recording a “film-like” look and the cost of production only a fraction
of what a film production would cost – it was a no brainer. I made the
switch. Now the question was – “What to shoot?” Why not weddings? The
subject matter is Romance and most people like a good Romantic Story.
Plus, I would have the creative freedom to paint the canvas, so to
speak, by creating images that not only told the story but were
beautiful to look at.
What I enjoy about each
wedding is the opportunity to tell that individual story. Each Bridal
Day video is as unique as its bride and groom. Highlighting
the subtle nuances of the day as it happens makes each Bridal
Day video a customized work that many of my clients tell me
they will cherish for years to come. I would have to say that one of the
most rewarding parts of what I do is hearing client feedback. The joy
and emotion that they express after viewing their video for the first
time is a real rush for me. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity
to pursue my passion, while at the same time record an heirloom for each
couple.
