To us, you’re not just another date on our calendar. You become a part of our family.
We understand the pressure is real to choose the perfect vendors you can trust with one of the most meaningful days of your life. It's why we aim to be so much more than just another vendor.
As your wedding videographers, we'll capture the beauty of your life-long commitment. But we're committed to doing more.
We love getting to know you — your personalities, dreams, and quirks. Truly, the best part of our job is making new friends who feel like family. And that is our secret sauce to our authentic films: the genuine connections we make with our couples.

To be completely honest with you... I was always terrible in art class. Traditional forms of art and I majorly clashed, which made me doubt my creativity. I nearly gave up pursuing a career in the creative field until my wife bought me a Canon 7D. (She knew better than me that this was a passion I couldn't live without).
A year later, I filmed my first wedding, and my love for creativity reignited. I learned to use my unconventional-ness to my power, and 200+ weddings later, my team and I have become the leading wedding videographers in the Colorado mountain range area simply because of our unique approach to films.
Younger me would definitely be shocked but proud. I love what I get to do — and nothing quite compares to seeing our clients get really excited over their films. I hope my team and I can capture all the beautiful things that make your relationship unique next.

Thrilled to be part of the amazing Ampersand Family team! As the ultimate multitasker extraordinaire, I wrangle our social media, juggle client emails, tame schedules, and sprinkle a dash of magic over all things admin to ensure your experience with us is smooth as silk!
When I'm not tackling deadlines and emails, I'm off on adventures with my two kiddos, exploring nature or building sandcastles. But let's be honest, my ultimate bliss? Lounging on the couch with a mountain of snacks, diving into my favorite movie series. After all the chaos, a good binge-watch is my perfect recharge!

It all started in high school when I bought a cheap camcorder to film sports, student rallies, and other events for the school newspaper. I took pride in my work and continued pursuing filmmaking in college, writing and directing short films and shooting social content for student organizations.
After graduating from Texas A&M’s Communication & Journalism program, I realized I could use my experience in storytelling and videography to film weddings for friends and relatives. Before I knew it, I was running my own freelance wedding filmmaking business.
Today, filming with Ampersand Family keeps me creatively challenged and gives me an outlet to tell beautiful stories with a team that pushes me to grow as a filmmaker every day!

Treat you like a part of our family

Make you redo your look five times
We aren’t in the business of making perfectly-crafted, meticulously-framed wedding videos.
We’re here to showcase the quickly-dabbed-away-tears, whispered inside jokes, awkward (but charming) dance moves, and stolen kisses.
We deeply care about…
Just like you are making a commitment to each other, we are committed to supporting you in this new journey.
Commitment
Wedding planning is complicated enough, so we've created simple and efficient systems to serve both our clients and us.
Simplicity
No cookie-cutter templates here — we're much more interested in sharing the organic moments of your wedding day. We mean it when we say every film is different and unique to our couples.
