Swipe for a throwback to little me, figuring things out one step at a time—literally. 😂
If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be this: your love for connection and storytelling will take you places you never imagined. Andddd, please keep all the photo and video cameras you’ll own through the years—people will love film and vintage looks again someday, haha.
I grew up surrounded by medical providers and was sure that was my path. So I moved 3,000 miles away to earn my clinical doctorate from Drexel University, ready to take on the world. I set off from there figuring I had my life all planned out. But my deep-feeling, sentimental heart and techy, detail-oriented brain weren’t at peace with patient care alone.
Looking back, maybe I should’ve known—I’ve been a movie lover since I was a baby. My dad and I went to the movies every chance we had, and to this day, 90s and 00s rom-coms are my biggest inspiration. The emotions, the storytelling, the way every little moment adds up to something bigger—I live for that. My first job was at a movie theater which might have been a sign!
I didn’t grow up thinking I’d be a wedding filmmaker, but now, I can’t imagine doing anything else. The moments that move me—the raw emotions, fleeting glances, heartfelt vows—have always been what I cherish most. Now, I get to preserve them for others, crafting wedding films that become family heirlooms.
So just a little throwback for today with the reminder that sometimes the best stories are the ones we never saw coming 🤍
