Based in the heart of the Midwest
You can usually catch me with a baby on my hip and hand in hand with my toddler. Motherhood is my greatest joy, teaching me to cherish life’s simple moments and see the world through the wonder of a child’s eyes.
I am a second degree black belt in Taekwondo. Truly, small but mighty!
Zach and I were both solo videographers before we met, and this shared passion for capturing life’s moments and turning them into films is what drew us together. Since starting our own family in 2019, the importance and appreciation for documenting life through film has grown exponentially.
started out in front of the camera - as a social media influencer on Youtube (if you’re really curious - Emma Catherine, formally known as thebeautyguru4u). This ultimately grew my love for documenting life and an appreciation for connecting with people from all over the world to hear their unique stories.
A little about me:
I have been either in front of the camera or behind the camera capturing life’s greatest moments from the time I can remember. I have treasured the gift of reliving a moment captured by a camera lens since I was a little girl. It has brought me the utmost joy to be able to use my artistic and creative mind to tell incredible stories through film. Truly, my greatest honor is to be trusted with your love story.
Hi, I’m Emma!
The visionary
I’m a very nostalgic guy. I love doing things that bring back a memory, like playing Pokemon on my Gameboy Color. It reminds me of life as a kid and gives me a warm feeling. I really want to get my kids to love the things I loved as a kid!
Emma calls me a coffee snob. I don’t know if I’d use those exact words but I do love coffee! My preferred coffee of choice would be a single origin from Ethiopia or Kenya, brewed in a chemex. Okay… that does kinda sound like a snob… Oh well!
I know a lot of random facts, like there’s more horses than people in Mongolia. Don’t ask me why I know these facts, just ask me to be on your trivia team!
A little about me:
I have a deep passion for storytelling—no matter the story, I’m all in. Whether it’s getting lost in an episode of Daniel Tiger with my daughter or crafting a wedding film, I’m captivated by the power of narrative. Family stories hold a special place in my heart, which is why wedding films mean so much to me. I love the idea that a wedding film can be a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations. It excites me to think of my own grandchildren one day watching our wedding film and understanding more about who we are. My goal is to tell your story in a way that allows you, your family, and your friends to truly connect with it.
