like seriously, we appreciate you stalking us
We are a husband and wife team dedicated to capturing beautiful artwork while also shamelessly dancing like no one is watching to ensure you’re having a great time along the way. Located in Central Michigan, we are at an excellent spot to travel all around the state.
Being that couple that got married and opted out on hiring a wedding videographer and regretted it— we know the importance of capturing your special day and finding the right people you vibe with.
As a young kid, I began my passion into videography following along my dad as he filmed for collegiate wrestling teams. Although I did not officially begin this business until 2020, the years prior to that I dabbled in video editing.
From personal video montages for friends and family, making fun YouTube videos reviewing movies, to even having two films enter the Amazon Prime world; you can say I really wanted this to my dream job. Once I decided it was now or never to jump in head first into filming, I have not looked back since.
My favorite part about being a videographer is the post filming. You get home after a successful day of filming. You then pull up all the footage into your editing queue, get a good movie streaming and begin the process. As I am creating, I love being able to showcase the story through audio, music, and transitional video clips.
When it comes to filming weddings, I like to tell people “I get to make romance movies for a living”. My mission as a business owner and a videographer is to promise you a creative and fun atmosphere and delivering a film that depicts you and/or work.

Meet Diana
Second Videographer, Creative Content Administrator
It all started in 2010…
Fun fact: we planned two weddings. The first wedding had to be relocated months before the big day. Talk about a wedding chaos. But nonetheless we had all the important friends and family to witness us say “I Do”
By then, we already welcomed our first son and navigating the real world as parents, married, and post grad life.
We met like all good romance movies do…at a summer party.
Yup, two college kids wrapping up their summer going to a party where we unexpectedly would find out Diana goes to CMU (fire up!) and Joe is from that exact city. After that, you know how the rest plays out.
Got married in 2015 in good ole’ Mount Pleasant
Decided a world wide lockdown was the best time to start a filming business…
2020 started beautiful welcoming our second son. Although the world was definitely in disarray by Spring, there was one lesson learned that came from an uncertain future. And that was, you can’t live in fear and not chase your dreams. Starting the videography business we did not anticipate this would then lead us to weddings where both myself and Diana would be working together.
We always shout out our homies Jeb and Demi that asked us to film their wedding.
Celebrating five years with this business and no sign in stopping.
Over 100+ weddings under our belt, this job really has shown us how beautiful this world can be. Being part of people’s intimate moments and allowing us to witnessing their love; there’s no job like it.
Especially being able to bust some moves on the dance floor and eat wedding cake while filming away.
