A little about us

In September of 2021, my wife Lauren and I went on our first date. She shared with me that she was moving across the country to San Francisco in three weeks. So, like any man who realizes he’s falling deeply in love, I made sure those next three weeks were unforgettable. It was enough to spark a long-distance relationship that would change our lives."

Three months later, I decided to join the missionary organization she was with and move to Hawaii. Less than five months after we met, I proposed. During our engagement, we lived in two different countries, and six months later, we were married.

Yes, the timeline is quick — less than a year from our first date to our wedding. But life had even more in store. A few months into marriage, we discovered we were expecting our first child. In July of 2023, we welcomed our daughter, Evangeline.

Our story has deeply influenced the way I approach storytelling. My own wedding day and video experience taught me what truly matters: the nostalgic moments that define seasons of love, the adventures of traveling across the world together, and now, the profound realization of what it means to be a father to a future bride.

All of these experiences shape the way my family and I want to tell your story. I’m honored to be part of the moment you become a family for the first time, and I can’t wait to capture it for you.
