Kaitlin and Jesse married at a summer camp they both attended way back when. Colvig Silver Camps made for an incredibly beautiful and nostalgic venue for this awesome couple. What a fun couple and what a wild party! Was a pleasure to be their wedding videographer, and to work alongside Pop of Pink Wedding & Event Design and Colt & Hannah
This day was truly one of the most magical wedding days I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing in Telluride, Colorado. And this is why you want a cinematic wedding highlight video of your wedding day. From getting ready at the luxurious Peaks Resort & Spa in Mountain Village, to the Bridal photo and video shoot underneath Bridal Veil Falls, there was no shortage of moments and memories to capture in slow-motion. From a ceremony at San Sophia Overlook overlooking the San Juan mountains in every direction to the jaw-dropping sunset on the Telluride Golf Course, this wedding film was packed with gorgeous scenery. And finally from a first dance on the Mt. Wilson Terrace lit by pastels of the fading sun and a dance party concluding with pyrotechnics, this was a complete dream wedding! But even greater than all the beauty of that day, was the love between these two amazing people! It was such an honor to be able to experience and capture Vivek and Hillary’s love story. Cheers you two!
Proud to have been involved in the production of “Our Culture is Our Strength” (2021) documentary as the Director of Photography for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in Towaoc, Colorado. This film won big in the Telly Awards for video production in 2021, including 2 Golds Awards, one for Best Directing and one for Best Health & Wellness Video. It also won two silver Telly’s for my Cinematography and Aerial Drone Cinematography. This film features beautiful drone footage of the sacred cliffs and natural rock spires on the tribal land. The film features tribe members who share how learning and practicing elements of their ancestral culture not only helps them deal with challenges in their lives, but also helps them find a sense of identity and purpose.
