WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
let's get into the details!
My "Why"
I'm a very nostalgic person and value old photo albums & home videos more than anything. I feel incredibly fortunate that my great Grandpa filmed my paternal Grandparents, my maternal Grandpa filmed my Mom & her sisters growing up, and that my Dad filmed my brother and I as well. My passion for filming memories comes from all the generations before me. Every time I watch these videos I always cry, they are just relaxed everyday moments that are now cherished memories for me. They’re even more precious to me now, especially after losing my maternal Grandpa to Alzheimers and my paternal Grandpa to Parkinson's too soon and seeing other family members face illness. Getting to hear their voices and watch their fluid movements of enjoying everyday life has become irreplaceable.
I want to give my couples this same experience of priceless moments of each other and their loved ones on their wedding day forever captured in time. My hope is that they can revisit these memories again and again for years to come.

The Story Behind
The Evergreen Hour
When choosing a name for my business, I knew I didn’t want it to be tied to my own name. I wanted a name that reflected my belief in love as something enduring and ever-growing, not just a momentary peak on your wedding day. The term “evergreen” means “having foliage that remains green and functional through more than one growing season,” which parallels how I see love. To me, it symbolizes love's perpetual growth and resilience. I added “Hour” to signify the special moment of the ceremony.
THREE OF MY CORE VALUES
Authenticity
Trust
Communication
I believe in capturing your wedding day as it truly unfolds! I pay close attention to the people you surround yourself with, the music you choose to define your day, and the way you speak about your partner. These are the small details that make your day so special and unique! What you'll get is a film that reflects the real, heartfelt moments of your celebration, exactly as they happened.
Your trust and comfort are my top priorities! I want you to feel completely at ease with me and know that I’m fully committed to supporting you! Please feel free to bring up any concerns or questions you have—I’m here for you every step of the way. I understand that this is one of the most significant days of your life, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Clear and concise communication is so important to me, from when you first reach out to the delivery of your film. I promise to answer all your questions quickly, whether they’re big or small, and to thoroughly understand the details of your day. My goal is to help your wedding run as smoothly as possible.
