Behind the Scenes -- with Blush & SL

-Happy 2013-

An awesome friend of mine, Brooke Davis, called me up wanting to do a collab promo vid for the boudoir mini sessions she is doing in January with Sheryll Lynne- We discussed it, I liked the angle she was wanting to go at, so we teamed up and this is what we came up with. We wanted it to be tasteful & sexy yet not too scandalous. ;) I love how it turned out. -- 

Contact Brooke or Sheryll for the having a mini session in January-- They are some pretty awesome photographers.

Design Browsing.

I have a new goal this year to clean up my best friend, my computer. His name is 'Che'-- He's the kuewlest kat around with his SSD, 16GB of Ram and his i7 mind. --But I have been a horrible owner and made a mess of him already. Soo.. it's time to clean him up for the new year and organize all my stuff so I can "make kuel sh*t" -GSG

But as I was browsing and organizing my bookmarks, I came across this interactive book:


Click it, and Read it.

it is some great stuff. Enjoy.

This is the start of a new year, and new goals-- Here is the beginnings of more to come.

BTS: Flirt by Maggie Sottero




















The prom dress company, Flirt by Maggie Sottero released their new website this week along with a behind the scenes video that they hired me to do. It's pretty cool to look through their catalog and know the models- I spent a couple days in their studio shooting the video and hanging out with the Maggie Sottero Crew.


Everybody was really fun to work with and I love the catalog shots they took! The left shot of Jess in the violet dress is probably my favorite shot-- It was interesting to see them pulling the dress out and dropping it to get the dress to flar like that-- You can see it at the end of the video.

My favorite part of the video? The logo spin at the end of course. Ha Ha.

Be sure to watch the video in 720 or 1080-- its better that way ;)

Self Portrait_ October2011

In my film class we were challenged to express ourselves and create a self portrait that didn't include any part of us from our image to our voice. I explored a couple different areas that I could do this, and in the end I thought expressing my emotions visually would be a challenge, something totally different than my usual work, and be quite intriguing. From searching through hours of music, and planning what to film, here is the result.

Photography Final Project: Street Photography

So.. for one of my photography final projects I am doing street photography in Salt Lake. Here is a little preview of what is to come. Thoughts? Advice?

I have the coolest clients--

Ever since I have been filming wedding videos there are always those that go out of their way to show their appreciation towards the work I put into filming their wedding. Even though they pay me to do it, there are always some couples that send me a thank you present, give me a call, or just simply write me a message or a text. No matter what the size, I love it, it really is one of the benefits of the work I do. I love that my work is making priceless memories that couples will have for a lifetime.

Lori Dunn has gone out of her way to make sure I know my talent and her appreciation. I am always receiving messages and texts from her with loads of praise and love. She's been so great! Just released their wedding video here: Greg & Myrinda

One of the most recent things I received was a Thank you letter, some gift cards and a mixed CD in the mail from Ashton & Fumi. They were such a great couple and to top it off, they went out of their way to thank me and give me a little bit more. Ashton figured out some of my favorite things and sent them my way. It made my day. :)


It is people like this that keep me doing what I love to do.

I just want to say thank you to everybody and anybody who has ever gone out of their way to say 'thank you' and has shown their appreciation in one way or another-- it means the world to me.

Their wedding video turned out amazing. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it below:

Salt Lake City & Dunn Associates, Inc.

I had the amazing opportunity this week to work with Ron Dunn. Brandon & I filmed and produced documentary on Ron, structural engineering, and the effect he is having on our city, Salt Lake City. Ron is such an amazing man. He has a great passion to help others and to improve the city as a whole. Watch the documentary and see for yourself.
People use buildings everyday, but no one realizes who made that building stand. No one realizes that when they go to sleep at night, the reason their life will be there tomorrow is because in our contemporary world, structural engineers have ensured that buildings can withstand the test of time so that our world will last. Ron Dunn, the president of Dunn Associates, Inc. is an exemplary figure in Salt Lake City of progressing sustainable architecture at large. One cannot drive down a street in Salt Lake City without seeing a building he has engineered, and subsequently, see the lives of thousands of people that use those buildings that he has affected for the sustainability of their future. Without sustainable buildings, our lives would come tumbling down. So, let us make a choice. A choice to be sustainable. When building, let us build as if it will last forever.

Randy + Anna

One of my best friends got married and I had the opportunity to do her wedding video. It is always fun to do weddings for friends, especially these two. :)


I was so excited and the whole thing turned out great! I couldn't love it more. The whole day was so much fun, from the temple to the reception, and everything turned out amazing. It was one wedding I never want to forget. Enjoy the two videos. They are a must see.
