I am a lover of legacy, a person who strives to bring the beautiful past to the present and develop keepsakes where you can hear the laugh, see the smile, and feel like you are reliving the memories.
Currently, I serve my clients by crafting wedding films, and family heirlooms. Both move and create a strong family narrative for generations to come.
These exclamations are ones I hear all the time, and I am eager to help you document these moments! I capture these fleeting memories and provide you with a film to look back on for years to come. Smile as you watch your parents glide over the dance floor, tear up as you hear your firstborn laugh, and hug your spouse as you rewatch your wedding film on your anniversary celebration. I don’t make your memories, I just help keep those special ones crisp, clear, and ready for you, or the next generation.
I believe memories move, they should be documented as such.
I’ve always enjoyed being behind the camera, even as a kid I was always coming up with “movie scripts” and having my family & friends act them out. From home movies, music videos, even school projects, you name it I filmed it. Having these films to look back on makes everyone, friends and family, smile and connect us even after years have passed.
As a midwesterner, I value family, friends, connection, and a good story. Words don’t come easy, but showing people a moment in the past, full of laughs, or tears, does more than words. It connects us in the past and in the present.
I am the sentimental storyteller who strives to understand the history of your love story, celebrate milestone memories, and help gather families around their legacy.
We can't pause life, but taking time to look back gives us a sense of accomplishment and excitement for what is yet to come.
My name is Darien

"My husband and I were at a crossroads when we were discussing whether or not to hire a videographer for our wedding day. We were so lucky to stumble upon Darien! Not only were we able to get on her schedule just a few months in advance, but she worked with us since, at the time, my husband and I were living 2 hours apart. Darien was so understanding of our wants and needs and took the time to learn about us and our story. On our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable. It felt so natural to have her there alongside our photographer. She captured every single moment from our first look to our toddler nephews dancing together at the reception. It came together beautifully and we will cherish our video forever!"
"Hiring Darien was easily the best decision we made about our wedding day."

"The video brought on laughter, tears, and pure happiness. I second-guessed myself on spending the money for a wedding video, but ever since the little sneak peeks, we have been so elated and beyond thankful! We will forever cherish our video. What Darian does is a true gift and it was so nice to look back and see all those details we felt as though we missed. Our video brought back so many emotions we had on our wedding day. Can’t wait to share our video in the years to come."
"You can’t put a price on the videos Darien delivers to people."
