I remember 9 years ago grabbing a ride with Shae from Shae and Evan to our friends’ wedding in Burlington, fresh off an online wedding video crash course with a folded-up shot list in my pocket.  I had no idea what I was doing or getting myself into. In fact, almost 10 years later, I […]

Ride along with me and Tristan as we film a wedding with it’s own audio quirks. ​If you’re interested in […]
