I love filming weddings. It’s so amazing to give someone the gift of special memories! A wedding film allows the person to hear the laughter and to relive the moments. I love to learn about other people and their cultures, it helps me learn about myself and to grow as a person.

“Hi Brien!!! First and foremost I’d like to tell you, YOU DID AN AMAAAAZING JOB VIDEO-ING OUR WEDDING!! We liked you so much, which explains some of the absolute ridiculousness of what is most likely in your footage lmao! ”
“I saw the film. It is so amazing! Our parents in China & USA saw the film and cried when they saw it! We love watching it together too. Thank you for your kindness, insight & creative hard work to make us a video that we’ll cherish forever! I love it so, so, so much! ”
“Originally we thought we did not want a wedding video, every video we had seen was corny and stage but two weeks before our wedding another vendor mentioned her friend that was a videographer that had just returned from the West Coast might be available for our wedding one week before the wedding. At the wedding we met Brien and the rest was history Brien was so easy to work with such a great person to be around, we never knew he was there. 10 months after the wedding I still watch the video all the time I just love it thank you thank you thank you Brien”
