Hybrid Videography & Photo — Built for Alberta Brands

As an Edmonton-based videographer, I personally handle every stage — concept, filming, and post. That keeps your story clear, aligned, and built to perform.

Video comes first. Stills are captured when needed for social media, print, or brand assets. One plan. One creator. One consistent visual style.

Yes, the demo says “we.” That was me trying to sound bigger — trying to play the agency game because that’s what the industry pushes. But that’s not who I am. I work lean, direct, and hands-on. One creator. No layers. No pretending. If you need a big team, I’m not your fit — and that’s okay.

The Anti-Agency Agent Advantage

One creator. One vision. Clear messaging, cinematic visuals, and work done with integrity from start to finish.

What is my approach

As an Edmonton based videographer, my work is built around videotelling — where clear messaging meets cinematic storytelling. I take what you need to say and shape it into content your audience actually wants to watch.

Flash grabs attention, but story earns trust. That’s the aim every time.

I use creativity like seasoning — not to cover the message, but to bring out its depth and character. Whether it's a short brand piece, an explainer video, a recruitment story, or something meant to linger, I create work that looks sharp, feels real, and stays true to your message.

I work well with firms, departments, internal teams, and independent owners. I prefer a short line of communication and working directly with the people who guide the vision — it keeps everything fast, honest, and aligned from the first call to the final export.

What I bring to every project

  • Twenty-five plus years shooting and editing
  • Story-driven visuals with purpose
  • Clear communication and an honest process
  • Lean production with no unnecessary crew
  • One-to-one attention on every project
  • Style that supports your message
  • Fast, prepared, and adaptable on location

What I don’t bring

  • No bloated crews or inflated budgets
  • No agency layers, sales teams, or upsells
  • No filler, fluff, or empty visuals
  • No ego in the edit room
  • No shortcuts or “good enough” work
  • No bending principles for a paycheck
  • No blame games — just accountability

I only take on one or two new projects a month alongside recurring client work. If you have a meaningful or challenging project, I would love to talk.

Creator • Videographer • Photographer

I am an Edmonton based videographer and solo creator. Since 2001 I have planned, filmed, and edited every project myself. Clients work directly with me from start to finish, which keeps communication clear and the final story aligned.

My focus is simple: honest, story-first video that helps your business stand out. No sales gimmicks. No inflated crews. Just dependable hybrid videography built with care, experience, and purpose.

I am a video maker and storyteller who also works comfortably in still photography. Hybrid cameras let me capture both motion and images with one consistent approach — giving clients more value without losing creative focus.
FRAME 003 • CREATIVE CINEMATIC STORYTELLING

Hands On. Faith Driven. Story Focused.

What sets me apart

Twenty-five plus years in professional video production
I see the shot, understand the message behind it, and make it work. I combine artistic instinct with practical, reliable execution to deliver clear, focused results both on set and in the edit.

I regularly produce corporate and marketing videos in Edmonton and across Alberta, and I understand the nuances of storytelling for business—how to build trust, clarify value, and show what makes you different.

I also handle sensitive or internal projects under NDA with strict confidentiality and controlled distribution.

Solo videographer with full creative control

I handle scripting, shooting, and editing without bloated crew costs or confusion. I collaborate with trusted partners for larger jobs, but most work I handle alone. From vision to lens to edit to delivery. It is my imagination and craft, with God’s grace guiding the process.

The Biblical Lens I Shoot the World Through

Rooted in Christ. Anchored in Truth.
My life is rooted in Christ and built upon the unchanging truth of God’s Word. I approach every project with honesty, humility, and conviction, striving to glorify God through creative excellence and dependable work.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
— Colossians 3:23 (ESV)
Alberta wide, Edmonton based

Born and raised in Alberta with true grit and conservative values. I relocated to Drayton Valley in 2021 and keep a strong focus on the Edmonton region, serving clients across Alberta and anywhere in Canada when the story calls for it.
