Who I am

I go the distance

I go the extra mile, both literally and figuratively, to capture each story, all while building my own.

The biggest snowboarding event in Charleston

Mex1 Rail Jam

at Firefly Distillery

The Mex1 Rail Jam 2025 brought the thrill of snowboarding and skiing to the heart of Charleston, SC, with 40,000 pounds of snow at Firefly Distillery. Riders threw down massive tricks, and the theme was HYPE.

This annual urban rail jam is one of the most anticipated extreme sports events in Charleston, drawing local and pro snowboarders to showcase their skills. Whether you are a snowboarding fan, a skier, or just love action-packed events, this is one you will not want to miss next year.

We credit Mac B for noticing this lack of exposure for the women ocean athletes. If you do not see the reflection of yourself on the water, the possibility of trying the sport is too easily lost. The goal: showcase the community, stoke, and empowerment that kiteboarding entails while sharing the local Charleston charm.

Doubt is very prevalent for women and girls in this male-dominated sport. Us kiteboarding women have been approached by many women and young girls. "Isn't that hard?" "I don't think I would be strong enough." "It looks too intimidating."

Reception

The destination wedding film

“I’ll Meet You There”

Jordan & Zach

Unlike any other wedding film, Jordan and Zach’s love story is a journey that transcends time and distance. From the moment they met, dancing with friends, to the unwavering dedication of a long-distance relationship, where Zach visited nearly every week, their love was destined to flourish.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Atelier Playa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico, this destination wedding was nothing short of magical. The waves kissed the shore, the sun set in golden hues, and love was in the air. Captured with cinematic storytelling, this film immerses you in every heartfelt vow, every joyful tear, and every unforgettable moment.

As a destination wedding filmmaker, I strive to craft films that are not just recordings. They are experiences. Relive Zach and Jordan’s once-in-a-lifetime celebration of love with me.

Core value

I believe in dreams

But first, we have to believe in ourselves.

My history

I had to start somewhere

A brief, really brief, timeline.

Milestones that make it make sense

2022

I start flying drones to capture roofs

A marketing internship for a construction company awakened a skill in me.

2023

I start my first official business, Guiding Light Drones

It did not take long for me to realize I want to do more than just fly drones. I want to be a filmmaker. But first I need to know how to use a camera.

2024

I drop out of college and move to SC

Trusting a gut instinct to go headfirst. My two priorities became understand everything I can about video, and learn how to kiteboard.

Now

Some might call me a nomad

I carry home with me wherever I go. I chase the wind and a passion.

Dreams. Come. True.
