Portrait placeholder — Daniel's headshot to come.

About

I'm Daniel. I make the kind of films I'd want of my own people.

I started behind a camera telling other people's stories. Short films, mostly. Weddings taught me the harder version of the same job: one take, no second day, a room full of people who aren't acting.

That's the work I want now. Real faces, real light, a day that only happens once.

On the day

Calm, close, and easy to forget.

Quiet

I don't run the room. I read it. No staged moments, no shouting for the bouquet toss. You live the day and I follow it.

Close

The good stuff is small. A held breath before the doors open. A grandfather wiping his eyes. I shoot for those, not the checklist.

Present

One person, both cameras. Fewer strangers in your space, and a film and photos that feel like they came from the same set of eyes.

Why "Selah"

Stop here. Breathe. Notice this.

It's a word from the Psalms, a pause written into the music. That's the whole idea. Most wedding video rushes. I'd rather slow down and pay attention, so years from now the film still feels like the day did.

Let's talk

If this sounds like your kind of day, say hello.

No pressure and no script. Tell me a little and I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit.
