How Lyss and Lens was Born - Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset.
Just about a year ago, I officially started this business—and what a wild ride it's been. There have been moments of doubt where I truly didn’t think anyone would want what I had to offer. But here I am, and honestly, I get teary-eyed thinking about how far things have come. Filming and photographing has already become something I can’t imagine my life without. Right now, I’m balancing two jobs—working a full-time 7–4 and building this business from the ground up. It’s not always easy, but it’s taught me a lot about discipline, growth, and the shift in mindset that comes with stepping into creative entrepreneurship.
This season of transition—from a steady job into something built entirely by me—is hard but exciting. I’m learning how to be both patient and bold. How to trust myself. How to make space for creativity after a long day. And how to believe that this can become more than a side hustle—it can be a career rooted in passion, intention, and storytelling. Every wedding I film confirms it: this is what I’m meant to do. And even though I’m still growing, still learning, still figuring out how to balance it all—I’m all in. I’m building this one story at a time, and I’m so thankful you’re here for it. This journey has taught me how to step out of my comfort zone. How to trust myself and God. How to be patient. How to stop comparing myself to others. How to target your audience. And most of all, how to continue to work hard even in times where you feel like you aren’t going anywhere. Yes - at times I still feel this way.
EVERY. DETAIL. MATTERS.
MY APPROACH TO WEDDING FILMMAKING.
Your wedding day is more than a celebration — it’s a collection of unrepeatable moments, quiet glances, belly laughs, teary vows, and everything in between. I’m here to capture it all — the emotion, the energy, the people you love — and turn it into a timeless film that lets you relive your day again and again. With a storytelling approach and an eye for real connection, I craft wedding films that feel personal, heartfelt, and uniquely you.
I’ve always had a deep love for music. Curating the perfect playlist for any situation is one of my favorite things to do—and if you scrolled through my Spotify, you’d definitely pick up on that. One of my creative strengths is connecting with a song on an emotional level. I basically live with my AirPods in.
Now, back to wedding films. I bring up music because it plays such a huge role in how I approach each film. Music is EVERYTHING. Music holds emotion, memory, and energy—and choosing the right track can completely transform the way a moment feels. That’s the first part of my process: finding a song that doesn’t just fit, but elevates. I’ll hear something and immediately think, this belongs here. That’s what I chase. I love to try out new things and test my creativity any chance I get.
Each film I make is personally handcrafted. I don’t believe in templates or copying what worked last time. Your story deserves its own rhythm, its own texture, its own moment. So I follow your connection, your energy, and your love—and I create something that only you could inspire. Because in the end, I’m not just making a wedding film. I’m making something you’ll come back to on anniversaries… something your future kids might watch… something that reminds you why you chose each other in the first place.
Why You Should Book an Engagement Session with Me.
Your engagement session isn’t just about getting pretty photos — it’s where we really get to know each other before the wedding day ever arrives. It gives us space to slow down, hang out, laugh a little, and figure out what feels most natural for you as a couple. I learn how you move together, what makes you comfortable, and how to shoot you in a way that actually feels like you, not stiff or overly posed.
By the time your wedding comes around, I’m not just another vendor showing up with a camera — I’m someone you already trust. You’ll know how I guide you, I’ll know your best angles and energy, and everything flows easier. That connection makes a huge difference in how relaxed you feel, and honestly, that’s where the most genuine photos and films come from.
Think of it as a practice run that turns into something way more meaningful — a chance to build a relationship, create memories before the big day, and walk into your wedding feeling completely comfortable in front of my lens.
