Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

My process starts with a conversation—I take the time to understand my client's vision, needs, and goals for the project. Whether it's a wedding, a business promo, or an event, I ask key questions to ensure we're aligned on the style, mood, and important details. From there, I create a tailored plan, outlining the shoot logistics, timeline, and any creative direction. On the day of the shoot, I focus on capturing authentic moments while making the process smooth and enjoyable. After filming, I handle the editing with careful attention to storytelling, pacing, and emotion, ensuring the final product exceeds expectations. Throughout the entire process, communication and collaboration are at the heart of my approach—I want every client to feel heard and confident in the results.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

After graduating from UCSC in 2011 with a degree in Theater Arts, I moved to China to direct plays and create unconventional art. While there, I landed a job with Shannon Fagan’s stock photography company, producing 3-5 shoots per week. The fast-paced environment taught me the ins and outs of photography, along with the organizational skills needed to work with a high volume of clients. That experience set the foundation for my career in visual storytelling, leading me to videography. Over the years, I honed my craft as an independent contractor, before setting off on my own to bring cinematic storytelling directly to clients.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

When hiring a videographer, look beyond just the portfolio—pay attention to how well they communicate, understand your vision, and adapt to your needs. A great videographer isn’t just technically skilled; they’re a storyteller who listens and collaborates. Ask about their process, turnaround time, and how they handle unexpected challenges. Also, consider their experience with projects similar to yours, but don’t be afraid to work with someone newer if they show strong creativity and dedication. Most importantly, trust your instincts—choose someone who makes you feel confident and excited about your project.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

When starting a new project, I ask questions to truly understand my client’s vision and goals. What story do they want to tell, and who is their audience? For events, I’ll ask about the schedule, key moments they want captured, and any special details that matter most to them. For business or creative projects, I focus on understanding their brand, message, and the emotions they want their audience to feel. These conversations help ensure the final product is personal and impactful.
