what makes me different
My hope is that when you watch your film, you’ll feel seen, understood, and embraced, with every frame sparking joy and touching your heart.
My films go beyond mere visuals—they’re a soulful journey through the magic of life and love. Each one is a unique, hand-crafted piece just for you. I carefully choose the music, visuals, and words to tell your story in a way that feels truly authentic.

frequently asked questions
WHAT ABOUT TRAVEL FEES?
HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? LETS CHAT
I charge exactly what it costs for me to get from my home base of Arizona to your destination, no more! I will provide you with an estimate at the time of booking and share an invoice as soon as I am able to book flights and accommodation!
What if we are camera shy?
That’s okay! A lot of my couples feel this way! My unobtrusive filming style will make you feel more comfortable. I also aim to get to know you so it feels more like a friend with a camera <3
How will our film be delivered?
Once your film is finished we will send you a link to your personalized wedding film site where you can easily view, download and share all of your videos!
What is Super 8mm footage?
Super 8 is a vintage camera from 1965 that captures video on film, creating a nostalgic look with rich colors and texture. It’s one of my favorite ways to shoot! For your wedding video, most footage will be in 4K digital, with some Super 8 clips adding an artistic, timeless touch. One roll (50ft) equals 2-3 minutes of footage and I shoot different amounts of rolls depending on the wedding day. Plus, you'll get all the raw Super 8 footage as a bonus!
How do you choose music?
Music selection is crucial for your perfect wedding video. You'll fill out a questionnaire about your favorite genres, artists, and the vibe you want. I'll use this info to find the perfect song from my music licensing sites.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment plans are available on a case by case basis. If this is something you would be interested in discussing, let us know and we can definitely talk more about it.

"Not enough words to describe how pleased we are with Ry when our first daughter got married in the spring! Working with her was a dream. She is incredibly professional and intuitive working with the bride and groom. I have sat on my sofa watching video and re-living that day over and over. She captured every single detail in the most unique ways. Her chemistry with our daughter and son in law was perfection. Seeing her work with so much equipment boggles the mind and I know she must have so much material to edit but that is where Ry shines: compiling a story that is equal parts compelling and beautiful.

Working with Rylee was an absolute joy through our whole wedding experience. Her communication and attention to detail on our calls leading up to the wedding, left us with no doubt that she would capture our wedding day perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer. She listened to our vision and executed it better than we could’ve imagined! Her turn around time remained true to our contract and communicated consistent updates with our video. Working with Rylee was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding day. We will cherish the memories Rylee captured for years to come! 10/10 will work with her again and again and again!!!
