Stay awhile and watch some incredible wedding stories unfold.

You Are My Home

[Mallorca, Spain]

A few months before their elopement day they asked, “Instead of eloping at Mt. Rainier, we have decided to do something small in FL for our wedding, then we plan on going to Mallorca (Spain). Would you be interested in meeting us out there to capture our private vows and adventures?” Okay 🫠.

I flew in a day and half ahead of them. It gave me time to soak in the culture, history, architecture, and food (vlog coming!). It was palpable 95 degrees and what felt like 100% humidity. The kind of weather that ruins your perfectly applied deodorant within 3 minutes of going outside. The fresh ceviche and Negronis fixed any imbalances in my day though.

Brittany and Andrew finally got in, picked me up, and we started to make our way to our resort in the hills. I would spend the next several days with them around the island. We sailed the Mediterranean, jumped into the ocean, spontaneously stopped at random cafes, and made a point to end our nights with a shot of tequila (with an orange slice). These adventures were perfectly spaced out with thoughtful conversations in the car and over meals. It was such a special time. I am so grateful for the friendships I’ve made through all of this. It’s seriously the best part of it all.

Love On Top

[New Zealand]

We spent three days exploring the South Island of New Zealand together and it has been one of the most memorable experiences in my lifetime. We shared endless car convos, meals, explored mountains, flew on a helicopter, stood next to glacier lakes, and lived out our LOTR dreams any chance we could get. Their elopement was built around experiences and adventure. Even after considering all the views, the most special moment of this entire weekend was when they read the letters from their parents.


I Will Always Be There

[ Italy ]


The longest highlight film I’ve ever delivered, but I believe it perfectly captures the 4 days we spent together in Italy. A few days roaming the streets of Roma and then we headed to the most beautiful venue nestled in the hills of Umbria.


But With You I Can

[Switzerland]

Love and laughter are infectious even if you don’t speak the same language. Emotions overwhelmed me when they exchanged their personal vow. During the ceremony, the two groomsmen who officiated the wedding tickled the audience with their humor and wit. I couldn’t help but share these moments with a smile, even if I could only piece together what they were saying through their body language and props used.


Favorite Part

[Everywhere]

This isn’t a wedding film, rather a reel of elopement films I’ve shot over the years. The voice you hear is my own, asking the simple question, “What was your favorite part about your elopement?” Hope you enjoy this minute long clip.


The Beginning of Everything

[Aiken, South Carolina]

I spent a weekend down in SC with this couple and their closest friends and family. The night before the wedding we all got together and they shared some of their favorite stories about one another. It was a heartfelt and meaningful way to kick off the wedding weekend. This wedding story of emotional little moments throughout the day. I hope you feel the weight of their love in this one.


Rising Sun

[Big Bend National Park // Terlingua, TX]

We got up while it was still dark and headed into Big Bend National Park to watch the sunrise together. The couple exchanged their vows to each other at the base of the huge natural rock wall. Reminded me of the north wall in Game of Thrones to be honest! Then we traveled back to the Willow House in Terlingua and started their intimate wedding day. This was a great compromise between celebrating with your friends and family, but still being present with your partner. We love when the intentionality in your wedding day is this strong.


Into the Woods

[Loloma Lodge, Oregon]

Many have commented on how beautiful the reception space is on this one. It was an incredible design executed by Mae and Co. Creative. It matched the thoughtfulness and deep level of intricacies of M&M’s love. Their words to one another were powerful and heartfelt. Hope you love this one as much as I do.


Escape to Tulum

[ WILD // Tulum, MX ]

Where the tacos are plenty, the margs are strong, and the cenotes tour guide puts 20+ people in tears during a guided meditation. It was a magical experience. This film became more of a short indie film than a wedding video. We hope you enjoy our take on this weekend long adventure in Tulum, Mexico.


Love Letters

[ Ecola State Park, OR ]

Vic and Cole wanted a day (and a film) that represented the places that they have come from. Cole with the forest and Vic with the coast line. At the end of their elopement, they enjoyed it with delicious bites from a personal chef at the airbnb. Between their dishes, they read letters from their loved ones. It was a way for them to include the people that they love on a day built out just for them.


The Darlings

[Stoller Vineyards, McMinville, OR ]

I present to you Harry and Paris Darling. Their names are picture perfect, just like their wedding day. Hopefully you can feel how fun and posh the entire experience was. It’s crazy to think I shot their engagement over 2 years before this day. The world had other plans and we had to push things out, but it was all worth it in the end.


Vegas, baby!

[Las Vegas, NV ]

When things fell through with their plans to elope at Cathedral Rock in Sedona, they defaulted to just rescheduling to the following year. Some months later they contact me out of the blue and had a crazy idea to elope in Vegas. Well that small little idea ended up blossoming in this fun and spontaneous weekend in Vegas. We also made some time to watch the sunrise out by the red rocks. Best of both worlds.


Runaway

[ Alvord Desert, OR ]

Let’s go a little outside of the box for what you would normally expect a wedding film to look like. This is a creative piece I put together to showcase how incredible the experience could be. Let’s have fun and do things our own way. Feel free to consult me for ideas on what your day could look like too, my shoot idea list is pretty endless!


Dream Girl

[ Oahu + Oregon ]

After rescheduling their wedding 3 times, they finally decided to get married in the backyard of Hannah’s childhood home. Then a month after their wedding they flew me out to Oahu to get some footage of where Tyler grew up. I love mixing together multiple days to help create your movie. It always becomes such a better representation of your story. This film has a slow build, but I was happy with how the footage darts back and forth between the wedding and the epic morning hike we did on Oahu.


The Secret Elopement

[ City Hall // San Francisco, CA ]

These two secretly eloped and we created this video so that they could share with their friends and family at a graduation/fake engagement party turn wedding reception. This has been one of our favorite days since the creation of Goodco Studios. It’s a longer film, but get your tissues ready, cause we’re still crying.


Fireside

[Superstition Mountain, AZ ]

They were going to have a big wedding, but they called it off. Instead, we all met in Arizona, a place where none of us had been. The night before the elopement we sat next to a fire and shared memories and got vulnerable. Their love grew stronger that night. The people closest to them got even closer. Here is just a teaser from a weekend with so many beautiful storylines.



The Glass Ones

[ Private Property // Cincinnati, OH ]

Some of the most beautiful, poetic, gut-wrenchingly sweet vows I’ve ever heard from both the bride and groom. See if you can also spot how the design of the wedding venue plays into the Bride’s vows. When I came to this realization in the middle of her vows, my mind was blown. Hope you love this emotional roller coaster.


Just a Wink

[Las Vegas, NV]

The morning of their intimate wedding, they got to sneak in a little motorcycle joy ride in the desert. Can you think of a better way to start any day? Keni shares a really heartfelt story during her vows about her interactions with Max’s family. It might be the cutest thing ever told.


Driftwood

[Rialto Beach, WA]

Just a couple photographers enjoying their time in the PNW coast line. I just wanted to capture their relationship as is, taking photos photos of each other, throwing rocks into the ocean, aggressive handholding (lol). It’s the simple things in life.

I Never Want to Forget This

[Oregon]

This isn’t a wedding film, but a sweet story about a family who realizes that the moments we have are not forever. Life moves so fast and this is the sweetest reminder to live in the present. Pretty sure I cannot watch this without crying.



BECAUSE OF YOU

- Elopement -

[ Glacier and Taft Point // Yosemite National Park, CA ]

The sunsets and sunrises are unreal in Yosemite. We walked away with some of the most epic footage, but the best part from this weekend were the newfound friendships and getting a chance to witness their love.

THE CONSTANT

- Creative Film -

[ Palm Springs, CA ]

This short was written and produced by me, Chris. What’s funny is that I had a completely different vision for this shoot. until about 5 hours before I had to get up for this sunrise shoot. On my drive home from a long work day, I decided to write a free verse poem. Finished it around 2am and I had to get up around 4:45am.
