About the Owner

Personal Bio: Its actually Kay-Lee, and I give my mom such a hard time for the way she spelled my name. I got my start 10 years ago, fresh out of college with a graphic design/advertising degree from the University of Nebraska. I landed a job as the marketing director for a wedding and events company that offered videography. Three months after accepting, the owner asked if I had interest in purchasing the business, and I jumped at the chance. What began as a marketing journey turned into a full blown career in video production. For 7 years I owned and operated a company in Nebraska shooting weddings, before relocating to the Emerald Coast in 2013. My background has given me the knowledge to shoot in all locations, from the beach to a church — I’ve experienced it all. I’ve learned how important video is to not only a wedding day, but to all important moments in our lives. The movement, the voices, and so many more memories than just a still image can capture. I love providing my couples with a timeless way to remember the most special day of their lives.

My Favorite Quote:

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world” — Marilyn Monroe

“It wasn’t Logic; It was Love” — Carrie Bradshaw

My Greatest Weakness Is: Confrontation. Can’t we all just be happy? 🙂

Something I Would Like People To Know About Me: I like to live everyday the happiest I can be.

Something I Would Like People To Know About My Business: I truly love the wedding industry and every couple I get to work with. It’s not a hobby, it’s a true passion and I want everyone around me to grow their businesses as much as I want mine to grow!

Where I Grew Up: Harlan, IA
