Should I hire a videographer for my event?

It’s a difficult decision to decide if it’s worth the cost to hire a videographer for your event. In the effort of making things simpler, I made a flow chart! (Ooh!

Your Life is a Movie and You are the Editor

The Director may have the vision, and the Camera Operator may capture the shot, but it is the Editor who decides how the story flows, where the scenes appear, which shots gets seen and which don’t.

Now I'm hungry...

It started with a donut…

What did you do to your hand? The short answer is “I punched a wall”, the long answer is a little more embarrassing and a little  (okay, a lot) less indicative of anger problems.  On a totally nondescript Friday evening, after a productive (I think?) day of work, I was set about to sit down …

Questions on Intellectual Rights and Answers from the Universe

I’ve had a quandry rattling around in my head. Usually when we have some thought playing on repeat, it’s not something beneficial. It’s just some open loop that we run over and over looking for closure, mostly without realizing it, and usually not finding what we’re looking for until we finally bring it into focus. …

Every time I see Raul he's got some new technology or AI strategy to share. A lot of what his company does is over my head, but I'm so grateful there are companies like him out there that do what he does!

Here’s what most people don’t see (but probabl Here’s what most people don’t see (but probably should):
 
👉 A 15-second video can take 3 hours (or more) to shoot. It’s not just point-and-shoot - it’s lighting, sound, angles, direction, intention, and getting it to feel right.

👉 Sometimes, I’ll choose message over perfection. A perfect video that says nothing won’t move people.

👉 Long-form isn’t killing attention spans. Bad storytelling is. If the story is strong, people will watch the whole thing. (K-pop Demon Hunters anyone???)

👉 I spend more time editing videos than marketing myself (thank Hanna for that 😉).

👉 I charge for value, not just my time. Because you're not just paying for a camera, you’re investing in expertise, strategy, direction, and results.

👉 And yes, I still get nervous before big shoots. Every. Single. Time. But I always show up and deliver what your story deserves.
 
This work isn’t just about creating “cool videos.” It’s about telling stories that move people, connect with your audience, and support your business with purpose.

We're just not buying it anymore. As a videograp We're just not buying it anymore. 

As a videographer who works with different kinds of businesses, I’ve seen the impact of intentional content, and I’ve also heard all the myths 🙄

Here’s what we’re clearing up today:

🎀 Video marketing isn't complicated, but it can be, if you go solo.
🎀 If you want a "five-minute edit", you’ll get "five-minute" results. Craft takes time.
🎀 Engagement builds community, trust, and future revenue. It’s part of the long game.
🎀 Authenticity + strategy + consistency = results for any business.
🎀 You are the algorithm. Engagement starts with you.
