Independent Contractor – 2 weddings (2021, 2023)
Captured two full-day wedding events as a videographer for friends and family, delivering a unique, attendee-style point-of-view experience as requested by the couples. Operated with minimal production equipment—no lights or microphones—to maintain a natural and unobtrusive presence throughout the day.
Collaborated closely with the bride, groom, wedding parties, and families to ensure key moments were documented while keeping a low profile during emotional and significant parts of the ceremony and reception. Prioritized guest comfort and authenticity, contributing to a relaxed environment for everyone involved.
Handled post-production editing, carefully crafting a narrative that matched each couple’s vision. Delivered the final product after receiving creative input and full approval from the newlyweds.
Eagle Excavating - August 2023 - Barrington Hills, IL
Hired to produce a full-day video shoot documenting Eagle Excavating's construction of a custom rock wall for a residential client. Captured dynamic footage of various heavy equipment in action, including excavators and loaders, as well as detailed shots highlighting the craftsmanship of the workers and progression of the build. Utilized drone videography to provide aerial perspectives that showcased the scale of the project and the precision of the worksite. Spent the full workday on location to ensure comprehensive coverage from start to finish. In post-production, I edited the footage into a polished video sequence, pacing to align with their brand tone. The final video was optimized for social media and helped increase visibility and engagement with the company’s services.
