I’m Michael, a Windsor-based wedding videographer with over 10 years of professional experience capturing weddings throughout Windsor-Essex and Southwestern Ontario.
For me, wedding filmmaking is about more than creating a highlight video. It is about preserving the moments that make the day feel real — the vows, the speeches, the laughter, the quiet reactions, the family connections, and all the little moments couples may not fully notice while the day is happening.
My background is in film, media, and storytelling. I graduated from the University of Windsor’s Communication, Media and Film Honours program, where I also worked as a Teaching Assistant, helping students learn the fundamentals of filmmaking and sound recording. That experience shaped the way I approach wedding films today: with attention to story, emotion, sound, pacing, and the feeling of the day.
I first became interested in filmmaking when I was 10 years old and received my first video camera. What started as a childhood interest eventually grew into a lifelong passion and a career built around capturing meaningful moments for other people.
After university, I focused my work on wedding videography and photography, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of filming many different kinds of weddings — emotional, elegant, fun, traditional, creative, and completely personal to each couple.
My goal is simple: to create a wedding film that feels true to you. Something cinematic, natural, emotional, and timeless — a film that lets you relive not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

The Sony a7s cameras are the best Full-Frame cameras for low light on the market. This allows your wedding video to be clear and noise free even during low-light moments.

Rokinon Cinema lenses are extremely sharp and fast lenses. They can shoot with an aperture of 1.5f which is ideal for shallow depth of field or low-light situations.

We use the Mavic 2 pro drones to capture stunning aerial shots of locations.

Lavalier microphones allow for clear professional recordings whether it be for the ceremony, vows, speeches, first looks, or letter readings.

ZOOM F3 allows 32-bit direct line-out recordings from the DJ or church's sound board. Perfect for recording a speeches during the reception.

Multiple ZOOM audio recorders with XY mics for recording audio from different locations in the room, or direct line-outs from the soundboard.
