Meet Kristina & Mike

get to know us even better

Video has been part of my world for as long as I can remember. My love for it started in middle school when my grandmother gifted me a video camera, and from that moment on, my friends and I were constantly creating music videos and ridiculous little films just for fun. Even now, there’s nothing I love more than going back and watching old footage—whether it’s a two-year-old me stealing a sip of beer from my dad’s solo cup at a family party, reliving the first time Mike and I watched the ball drop in Times Square, or soaking in all the beautiful, ordinary moments of our three daughters growing up. Being able to revisit those memories is pure joy, and it’s exactly why I’m so passionate about wedding films.

I know firsthand how quickly moments pass—and how priceless it is to have them preserved. On a wedding day, I’m fully immersed right alongside my couples, celebrating every hug, tear, laugh, and quiet in-between moment. Most of the time, you’ll catch me filming with the biggest smile on my face because I truly feel it all. I’m a proud girl mom to three, and Mike and I were married in 2013 in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, flying in our photo and video team, choosing a random spot in the mountains, and saying “I do” surrounded by nothing but nature. It was magical, and it cemented what I already knew: these moments matter, and they deserve to be remembered.

Wedding day vibes

My path into photography and video began in 2006 when I jumped into a lighting role at work and quickly found myself behind the camera. From second shooting weddings to building my own photography business and traveling across the U.S. and abroad, I fell in love with capturing real moments. Later, filming families and children facing life’s toughest challenges showed me just how powerful storytelling through video can be. That passion naturally led me to wedding films, where I now get to work alongside Kristina. I don’t just film a wedding—I’m part of the day, helping things feel easy, fun, and stress-free. I’m a proud dad to three girls, and one of my favorite days will always be marrying Kristina in the Smoky Mountains in 2013.

Mike

I discovered my love for video when my grandmother gifted me a camera as a kid, and I quickly fell in love with capturing memories and rewatching life unfold over and over again. Being able to relive those moments brings me so much joy, and it’s why I’m so passionate about wedding films. On a wedding day, I’m right there with my couples, soaking it all in—capturing every moment, big or small, and celebrating right alongside them. I’m an incredibly proud mom to three girls, and I married my soulmate, Mike, in the middle of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee in 2013—a day that continues to remind me just how meaningful these moments truly are.

My journey into photography and video started in 2006 when the company I worked for needed someone to handle lighting for photography. I jumped in, learned quickly, and eventually became the staff photographer. After that, I spent a year second shooting for a local wedding photographer, which led me to start my own wedding photography business—traveling all over the U.S. and even abroad to places like England and Nicaragua.

It was later, while working for a local health foundation, that I discovered my true passion for video and storytelling. I filmed the journeys of kids and families facing some of life’s toughest challenges—children battling cancer, babies in the NICU, and events raising money for our local hospitals. Being able to capture those stories and preserve their strength, hope, and resilience showed me just how meaningful video can be.

That experience naturally led me to wedding films, and now I get to do what I love alongside Kristina. I don’t just film a wedding—I become part of it. From tying groomsmen’s bowties to keeping the energy light and everyone laughing, I love being the kind of presence couples can relax around. I’m also a proud dad to three amazing girls, and one of my favorite days will always be marrying Kristina in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee in 2013—a moment that perfectly reflects my love for meaningful, unforgettable experiences.
