Meet

Drake

Howdy! I’m Drake, glad you’ve stumbled upon this page to get to know a little but more about what I do and why I do it. I was given an eye and a brain to document moments, and I truly believe this was my calling in life, to document your wedding, your special moments, and to plant seeds everywhere I go. Jesus is at the forefront of my work, and I love to display his grace and goodness through film. Being able to create for those who love the Lord is what I was called to do in life, and I will forever be grateful.

Being able to create such memories is truly a gift and I will cherish that forever. It started with bringing my camera to trips, and grew to a love to capture moments like these, those in love, those who love.

MY DESIRE

Handcrafting films for those who feel. For those wanting to relive their wedding with a cozy, home video vibe. For those wanting to hear the laughter, the tears, and the joy.

That feeling you watch a video back from a special trip you and your friends had. That feeling watching videos from your parents lives as children. Being able to observe the real moments between real people, and documenting such love is so special.

These moments captured between people you love and those who love you are some of the memories you look back on 50 years later. Your wedding happens once, and it’s intended to be captured with such intention and rawness.

A few of my favorite things in life -

Jesus, Madi, my 4Runner, Coffee, Camping, camera gear (gear in general, lol), road trips with friends, and weddings.

Who we are.

We’re a husband and wife photo and video team that loves Jesus and loves to create. When we aren’t shooting weddings, we’re out getting coffee and going on adventures with our cameras. After 4 1/2 years of long distance, we got married and now live in Idaho together! It’s such a magical time and we both cant wait for you to experience that feeling. We hope to serve you and document your big day!

Love,

Drake and Mads

“We truly don’t have enough words for how incredible Drake was. From the second he showed up, it felt like we had known him for years. He has this calm, kind presence that instantly puts you at ease, which is exactly what you want on a weekend that means everything to you.

Drake didn’t just film our wedding weekend, he captured the feeling of it. From the Bass Lake jump with our friends to our ceremony in Yosemite and the celebration in Oakhurst, he somehow managed to bottle up the energy, the people, the love, and the little moments that meant the most to us. And he did it all so naturally. Nothing ever felt staged or forced. It was just real. Us being us, and our people being themselves.

Looking back at our video, it’s wild how much we feel when watching it. It’s like we’re right back there, and we know that’s because Drake has a real gift for storytelling, and more importantly, for seeing people.

We can’t recommend him enough. If you’re thinking about working with Drake, do it. You will be so glad you did.”
