A bride and groom sitting close together on a vintage sofa, gazing into each other's eyes. The bride is wearing a long, white lace wedding dress with a high neck and floral pattern, holding a small bouquet of white flowers. The groom is dressed in a white tuxedo jacket, black bow tie, and black trousers. A large, antique-style tapestry depicting birds and nature hangs behind them.

Social Cinematography specializing in emotionally rich, behind-the-scenes storytelling, captured entirely on iPhone and elevated through an editorial lens

What I do:

Social Cinematography lives in the space between cinema and memory. It’s the art of capturing real moments as they unfold. Fluid, textured, and emotionally honest. It’s visuals that feel like they were pulled from a film, not a feed. It’s not for the scroll. It’s not about posting what happened. It’s about narrating how it felt. I craft short-form video and photo visuals into stories that are meant to be relived, not scrolled past. I chase light, mood, and meaning, capturing the moments that make your feed feel alive through a cinematic lens. This isn’t content, it’s the glance, the texture, the light that lingers a second too long. It’s atmosphere. It’s a pulse. It’s your story. And your story deserves to be told intentionally and artistically.

My services

Weddings
Because your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a living, breathing feeling. This is the most vulnerable art of storytelling, the art of your love story. As an expert in the wedding industry, I can anticipate the day before the moments unfold. I capture the quiet moments. The unguarded laughs. The deep breaths. The tears. The vulnerability. The stolen glances. The chaos on the dance floor. Every frame matters and is delivered as curated, cinematic edits meant to be relived, publicly or privately.


Events
Because if the event is worth having, it’s worth remembering properly. From intimate dinners to large scale celebrations, events should be captured as they unfold. Unfiltered. Atmospheric. Emotionally Alive. I document the flow, the crowd, the details, and the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.


Vendors + Brands + Creatives
Because your work deserves more than a quick clip and a tag. These sessions are designed for creatives who want their process, personality, product, and passion captured with intention. Storytelling that elevates your brand and positions you as the professional.


Lifestyle + Personal Stories
Because not every story needs an occasion. These sessions are about capturing you. Your season. Your energy. Your life as it exists right now.
