This little dream has been the best damn thing Iāve ever dreamed. šš±
Gonna get a little sentimental here, so donāt mind me lol.
When I think back to day one, I truly had no idea what I was doing. I had so much faith in the vision and what ITMCC could become, but zero clue how to make it happen. I started with a friend who had a few weddings booked, and I knew that was my chance to test this dream. After those first few weddings, it hit me: this was going to change my life.
Capturing content for so many beautiful couples has genuinely altered my brain chemistry. Iāve always had a ānever stopā work ethic, but this pushed me into a whole new gear. Being one of the first creators in Ohio meant educating, representing, and paving the way for something brand new. Every room I walked into had people who liked me, questioned me, or hated me, just because of this silly little iPhone. But slowly, people started to realize just how incredible this really is.
There were moments I asked myself, āIs this worth it?ā āAm I crazy?ā And every single time, the answer came back clear: I am meant to be doing this.
Iāve helped couples capture moments theyāll cherish forever. Iāve cried behind this phone more times than I care to count. My heart has healed watching the pure love Iāve gotten to document.
This little dream has been my biggest obstacle, but man, itās been worth every step. I look back at the woman I was almost three years ago and just want to hug her. She had no idea about the work, the hate, or the late nights ahead, but she also had no idea what sheād accomplish. She would NEVER believe weād win Platinum for Video Production.
Iām so thankful for everyone who shared my work, spoke my name in rooms I wasnāt in, chose to work with me, or quietly supported me. Youāve all been a massive part of this journey.
But most of all⦠Iām proud of myself. For seeing potential in something so āout of pocketā at the time. For never giving up on myself. For choosing to build this dream brick by brick!
So if youāve made it this far and need a little inspiration⦠let this be it. Chase that dream. It might lead you somewhere you never even imagined.
All the love,
