How did you get into wedding film?
Mac has been into filmmaking all of his life, but began pursuing wedding films when his sister got married in 2006 and they hired a wedding cinematographer. That was the spark. Then he found he needed help so his amazing girlfriend Erin charged him a very reasonable rate for her assistance and we’ve worked together ever since. As we got more and more into it we were excited by the possibilities of narrative and storytelling, an area that others really hadn’t explored yet.
What’s your personal motto, or a phrase that inspires you creatively?
“Grow wise, grow strong, but never grow up.”
Can you describe your aesthetic in three words?
Honest, intimate, and cinematic.
What are three things you can’t live without?
Our iPhones, movies, and each other.
Where do you find inspiration?
We try to find inspiration in everything we do. Being with each other, family, friends, nature, films, photography, architecture, and of course travel.
What’s your favorite social media platform?
Instagram for sure.
What is a videography detail that often gets overlooked, that you wish got more attention in the planning process?
Sound. A lot of people forget that audio is half of the viewing experience. We often ask couples to try their best not to have their event near a busy road or airport or anything that can cause distracting noise. Sound is huge for us.
What do you think is the most important question a client can ask, when deciding who to hire for their wedding’s videographer?
We don’t think its so much a question they need to ask as a connection they need to have with the videographer. In that connection you can answer so many questions: Do you think they will be able to tell your story well? Does their work resonate with you? Do you identify well with them?
What’s been your proudest professional accomplishment as a videographer?
We’ve been fortunate enough to win accolades for our work, but we’re the most proud when couples trust and love us and our work so much that they make us a priority in their day and let us have complete creative control.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
We love to travel and road trip together, spend time with friends and family, and of course, go to Disneyland as often as possible.
