Visual Executor

Crafty with the camera, and wise in the edit, Daena is the man that gets your footage from the real world into a finely tuned visual piece. Always a man of particular vision, Daena is sure in his skill and artistic eye. His IMDB is healthy and constantly growing, as his editing skills are constantly honed by working in reality TV, documentary film, and indie film. He believes singularly in the appeal and honesty of documentary style videography, which he provides for tourism and research videos outside of the wedding sphere.

Amanda Makela
Amanda Makela
Owner and Jane-of-All-Trades

The biggest thrill Amanda gets in this line of work is showing people how fantastically beautiful and interesting they are. She did not come immediately to videography, but she has taken skills and experiences from each life milestone and used them to hone her artistic eye and my managerial acumen. She prides herself on her empathy and intuition for what the client wants and what wioo artistically look great. Knowing that she's providing a tangible memory for someone to share with their partner, perhaps their children or family years down the road, is an incredible legacy.
