There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who just get it. The late nights, the pressure to make something real, the weight we carry when we care this much. The kind of people who chase excellence not for applause, but because it’s just who they are.

That’s what the WIPA Philadelphia Mastermind felt like.

A room full of insanely talented wedding pros, not competing, just showing up fully. Sharing, learning, and genuinely pouring into each other. Just people who love what they do and want to see others win too.

As a videographer, I’m usually behind the scenes, watching stories unfold from the outside. But this space made it easy to lean in. Real conversations about the craft, the industry, the vision, and what it actually takes to keep growing.

I left feeling inspired. Supported. Grateful. For the stories shared, the energy in the room, getting to speak, and the reminder that we’re all building something bigger than ourselves.

More spaces like this. More honest dialogue. More reminders that we’re not in this alone.

Thank you for creating a space that felt like exactly what we needed.

January 7th. My wife scrolls through WIPA’s Instagram, eyes lighting up “Babe, these Gala details look wiiiiild!” She reads about the sacred vs. sinister theme, “Whispers in the Vieux Carré,” from the legendary mind of .

“Are you excited? Nervous?”
I exhaled, staring ahead, a smile creeping in. “I’ve literally been praying for this.”

Fast forward 21 days after I filmed the Gala, edited and delivered a preview and teaser in 5 days under all the pressure; I’m sitting here reflecting in disbelief, “You did it. I’m proud of you”

I can also finally reflect on the recognition as I was given the ‘Rising Star’ Award mid-filming.

But this isn’t just recognition for me alone. It also belongs to my wife, my family, my team, and friends along the way who believed in me.

For me, “Whispers in the Vieux Carré” feels like a full circle moment. Years ago, a Steven Spielberg quote heavily impacted my mindset and journey…

“Dreams always come from behind you…they whisper, they never shout. If it tickles your heart, and you think you want to do it for the rest of your life…then that’s what you do.”

For years, I ignored the whisper. I had a thriving fitness career, changing lives daily, yet filmmaking pulled at me. I felt guilty, torn, lost. Until I finally listened.

Letting go was painful. But leaning into telling stories through my camera, into the unknown of what was ahead, set off a chain of wild events I can only connect looking back.

Thank you for acknowledging my journey and allowing me to answer the whisper of a lifetime.

Wherever this road leads, I’ll always serve others with the same passion that got me here and tell impactful stories that change lives and inspires generations.
