My Favorite Videographers

 
IMG_8120-768x512.jpg

Taylor + Tiffany

Taylor + Tiffany are so genuine and accommodating. They have wonderful input about what shots would look best and where. This couple is extremely gifted and blessed with a great eye. They truly give the best gift of all and that is the immortalization of your special day through their specially crafted video. I highly recommend Phx Rising Media to any couple looking for a videographer.

Jourdan Visco

She is here to capture all the moments you never want to live without from engagements, weddings, elopements, births and everything else in between. Jourdan is a dog mom to a big ol' Great Dane named Maverick, could eat ice cream for every meal of the day, and never gets tired of reruns of the Office and New Girl (seriously she can quote every line of each episode). Whether you are in Arizona or beyond she looks forward to meeting you and creating a beautiful film for you!

Ben Walls Films

Ben has shot some of my favorite films I’ve ever seen. His attention to detail, coloring, and crisp focus catches my eye every time and is so unique to him. If you love a good contrasty film that keeps the beautiful colors of your wedding day intact, he is your guy. If you love to cry while watching your wedding film, he is also your guy.

My Event Film

As the lead videographer and creative director on every film, David's objective is to capture the emotion of your wedding day as unobtrusively as possible. He realizes that this day is about you and the love of your life, and his sole objective is to reflect that in your story. His professionalism and attention to detail will allow you to focus on the things that matter most as he works in concert with your other vendors, ensuring that your event is every bit as special as you dreamed it would be. Today, more than ever, couples are looking for a wedding film with a unique and timeless style, and at My Event Film we approach each wedding as an individual artistic expression, lovingly crafted by hand.

My Favorite Calligraphy Artists

 

Designs by Des

Over the last year, Destanie has been trying to use her creative spirit and hobbies that she LOVES and create a business from it. She’s been practicing calligraphy since she can remember, and went to a traditional elementary school where cursive was taught very early on. School sometimes was difficult for her, but penmanship was 100% and she carried that into adulthood. Every notebook she owns, every paper in school and every test she took had some sort of doodles or calligraphy on it. Now she wants to take 20 years of practice and create beautiful designs + signs for couples like you!
