Don’t let the pressure of capturing the moment make you miss it. Whatever camera you have is the right one and whatever you capture is the perfect amount. Working with us means you’ll be as prepared as you can be to catch incredible shots while on the road or abroad.
If we’re honest, vacations and travel are rare occasions for most of us. You shouldn’t spend that time stressing about capturing and editing the best possible angles, moments, etc. Although I’ll give you all of my best recommendations before you go, working with me means you can sit back, enjoy yourself, record anything that feels good to record, and feel at ease knowing I’ll take care of everything when you bring all that footage back home.
Imagine if you could have videos of your most extraordinary adventures? Captured on video like moving postcards that you can hold in your hand, wherever you are.
Increasingly, I’m realizing how special vacation and family time is, especially across generations. Our little ones grow up so quickly, and I also don’t take for granted time with our older relatives. Annabelle’s video editing helped me give these video clips of our family new life – capturing our vacations into a narrative that everyone in the family enjoys and relives, regardless of their age. They are priceless souvenirs that really should be a standard part of our trips and family gatherings.

I was nervous making sure that we filmed enough to tell the story of our trip to Spain, but it was super easy. My husband + I both really loved our finished travel film! It was fun to relive our experience.
Annabelle captured our honeymoon perfectly. All the fun we had, the beautiful scenery, the food - I don’t know how she managed to squeeze it all into those few minutes but it was perfect! It tells so much more of the story than a picture ever could and making the content was actually lots of fun! I can’t wait to keep the video forever and show our children one day!
I was worried about taking videos that were good enough to make our vacation video, but we were thrilled with the results! We smile every time we watch it!
A: No - my goal is to make the whole process as easy as possible, even for beginners to video. However, if your vacation is coming up very soon, it may take longer than 2-3 weeks for me to finish your edit. Contact me + we can get you on the calendar.
A: Nope, all you need is your camera phone. However, if you want to get fancy, you can find my favorite gear recommendations here.
A: Not at all! The majority of my clients (including the videos you see above) are filmed with either an iPhone or a GoPro. Seriously!
A: Prior knowledge of photography is certainly helpful; it teaches you a lot of the basics like light + composition that are also applicable + useful when filming videos. However, it’s not required! As long as you have a desire to capture + create, I’ll be able to work my magic on the footage you bring home.
A: Kind of! You can take as many random video clips as you’d like. I’ll include a travel toolkit to guide you and help you discover more amazing shots for your video.
A: Absolutely! I'll ask you for your favorite genres of music + take inspiration from your favorite artists to pick a song for your final film.
A: Unfortunately, no. I know how special certain songs can be to us, but due to music licensing laws, I'll have to choose a song that I have access to as a professional video editor.
A: It depends! The Pine is perfect for elopements because all you need is a smartphone on a tripod + permission from your photographer to use their photos in your video. The Ponderosa is ideal for weddings where you want guests to participate and if you'd like more events included outside of simply the ceremony, like toasts or wedding weekend activities.
