Cover image for We documented an intimate ceremony
We documented an intimate ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, followed by a private reception. Our team consisted of two cinematographers and one photographer, providing full coverage without disrupting the day's flow. One cinematographer focused on stabilized wide frames and architectural movement, while the second captured close-ups, vows, and guest reactions. Our photographer worked alongside us to maintain a cohesive visual story across film and photo. Audio for vows and speeches was captured live. We relied primarily on natural light and intentional positioning within the space. Final deliverables included a cinematic highlight film, full ceremony edit, and vertical social cut.

ARKYVS produced one of the recap films for the SF Coffee Festival, a high-traffic consumer event featuring roasters, sponsors, live demos, and stage programming. The goal was to create a sponsor-ready recap that captured the scale and energy of the festival while clearly highlighting brand participation and attendee engagement. Our team executed multi-camera coverage across the venue, capturing vendor activations, product details, crowd reactions, and key programming. Stabilized movement shots navigated dense foot traffic, while telephoto coverage isolated meaningful brand interactions. Ambient audio was recorded to support immersion in post. In post-production, we built a rhythm-driven edit balancing scale with clarity. Deliverables included the primary recap film and short-form cuts for digital marketing and sponsor reporting.

I produced, shot, directed, and edited this interview-driven video to tell the ambitious story of a cool aerospace startup in Los Angeles. It was low in cost but a joy to make. Viridian continues to grow and win contracts! Hope you enjoy. Satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) will improve communications and imagery from space, and do so more cost effectively too. Storytelling is everything in getting one's brand to find an audience and grow. https://youtu.be/_lpNwk4sLHQ?si=XcZP4p8ZR1SU0Qod

This large-scale interactive was another favorite project of mine. I was fortunate to concept and direct it with a great team. This was a way for GE Healthcare to have customers explore their massive products at trade shows without having them on the scene. (Logistically, not feasible.) A few presses, and potential customers could drill in and learn all they needed to know. And, yes, with plenty of wow factor!

I wanted to share a video I directed and produced for Harris years ago. I created many variations of it, including one for the Harris and L3 merger where we fused their two cultures together for all to see. This was one "experience" in their interactive and immersive Global Innovation Center, which is a project I also led. It's always a joy to interview brilliant, passionate people. https://vimeo.com/375204097/b96089c5c8?fl=ls&fe=ec

I led a full content overhaul for J&R Manufacturing—capturing everything from chef-driven lifestyle imagery to dynamic product videos. The campaign elevated social and paid media performance, while a redesigned website boosted conversions by up to 400%. We built information-rich product pages and proudly reminded customers that J&R launched the large-capacity rotisserie smoker that changed Texas barbecue forever. See a glimpse of the home page below.
