hey, i'm kevin
founder of Vital Light Films and a filmmaker who believes the best stories aren’t forced. They’re lived.
Documenting true human connection
Because your wedding isn’t a production.
Before wedding films became highlight reels and cinematic slow-mo, they were home videos. Honest, grainy, sometimes chaotic but always real. That’s the energy I bring to every story I tell.
It’s not about pretending to be someone else or ticking off a Pinterest-perfect shot list. It’s about being fully present for one of the most meaningful days of your life.
That's what I capture. A legacy you can feel. A rhythm that’s all yours.
Discover the experience
It’s about the energy in the room, the people you love most, and the small, blink-and-you-miss-it moments
Rooted in story, music, and the moments that matter most.
I didn’t come to weddings through the usual route. Before I took the leap into Vital Light full time, I worked as a filmmaker for a large church, capturing everything from live music and TV broadcasts to documentaries and community stories. That’s where I cut my teeth, but also where I found the thing that matters most to me: connection.
I met my wife through the music world. I’ve been to countless live shows. My editing style is influenced by the rhythm of a track—I build films that swell and shift with your day.
Not just the happy tears, but the hype moments too. Your aunt tearing up the dance floor. The flower girl refusing to walk down the aisle. I live for all of it.
Music has always been my entry point to emotion
Let’s tell your love story
Now, I split my time between filming weddings, raising twins, and building a team of filmmakers who care just as deeply about preserving people’s stories as I do.
If we work together, you’ll find I’m calm under pressure with an ability to lighten the moment and always thinking ahead to make sure you feel supported. My goal is for you to forget the camera is even there.

I believe that a successful wedding day is a team effort and I work closely with your entire vendor team, from planners and florists to photographers and makeup artists, to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Hiring Vital Light was the best decision we could make.
Kevin is a real pro who knows what he’s doing. We just recently watched our video back and he captured the true essence of what it was like on our wedding day. He’s incredibly thorough and very professional, and he can edit your wedding video like no other. Invest in a videographer - PLEASE. It’s so important to keep a hold of those memories.

Kevin, the videographer, was a highlight of our day
– Bethanie
The quality of their work was genuine, and thought-filled. Kevin remained calm and had a clear plan throughout. Kevin also regularly checked in with us to see how we were doing and feeling, open to hearing our concerns and joys. We felt like Kevin was our friend who truly knew and cared for us as a couple. Vital Light Films is so talented, and Kevin was truly fun and easy to be with. We are thrilled with the final product and highly recommend their services.

it was a no brainer to have kevin do the videography for my wedding
The music, transitions, creative direction, it was all amazing. His second shooter was just as on top of things as Kevin was, too. Highly recommend Vital Light for your wedding or any event. Kevin knows what he’s doing and everyone who sees our video is shocked at the production quality. This is the new standard!
let's talk
Real connection. Real emotions. That’s what lasts.
I’ll be your calm in the chaos, your creative partner, and your storyteller. And when all is said and done, you’ll walk away with a film that reflects exactly who you are and how it felt to be there—at the very start of something big.
