Where do you live, work, and what do you like to do for fun?
We live in Blue Springs, Missouri. If we aren’t working out of our home office, you can find us at Starbucks! We live on espresso for our late night editing sessions. Since our baby was born our nights out have turned into nights in. We love watching netflix and making crazy faces to make our son laugh.

When did you first become interested in shooting films, and what sparked your interest?
Last year I saw my friend’s wedding highlight video and loved how the story of the day was told. I always looked at wedding video as being boring and something I wouldn’t want to shoot, but after seeing this video I fell in love with the idea of building a narrative.
Where did you learn to shoot and edit video. What’s your background?
After graduating from Northwest Missouri State University, I started my career at a small video editing studio. Learned a lot and got to work with some great clients.

When did you decide to start your business MTVIDYO, and why?
Two years after being at the studio, I decided to venture out on my own and started MTVIDYO. My first project I got to edit was a travel show that aired on Halogen. After traveling with the show around the world I wanted to start doing more production of my own. I shot a wedding with a friend a couple months after I got back and fell in love with building a story of the day. When Ali saw my excitement for wedding video she instantly wanted to be a part of it. She went to school to be a wedding planner, so this was right up her alley. It has been an amazing experience to shoot weddings and see our passions come together.
What’s your favorite part about capturing someone’s big day?
We love seeing the entire day unfold. We think the best moments are the ones that happen in-between the photos. One of our favorite moments is seeing the parents of the bride as they see their daughter in her wedding dress. We also love capturing the bride and groom’s reaction as they see each other for the for the first time. It is amazing to be able to capture those moments that usually go unnoticed.

Any words of advice you can offer to couples looking to hire a videographer for their wedding day?
We know that in a brides wedding budget, a videographer is the first thing to get cut, but we also know that it’s always the number one thing brides regret cutting. Our advice would be to take a look at how wedding videos have changed. Be sure to look at the videographers work and make sure it fits your style. If you find the right company you will not only have video of your ceremony but a beautiful story about one of the biggest days of your life!
