About

Hi, I'm Brian. This is my crew.

Twenty years and 500+ weddings behind the camera, from Nashville backyards to Sicilian hillsides. I started With This Ring so couples could stop managing their wedding and start being in it.

How we work

A wedding day isn't just documented. It's guided.

Every moment, transition and interaction shapes the story being told. Our approach is built around clarity: knowing what matters most, anticipating what's coming next, and creating space where real moments can unfold without interruption.

Behind the scenes, our team works with intention and alignment, so you can stay focused on the people who brought you here. The result is storytelling that feels effortless: films and photos that reflect not just what your wedding looked like, but what it was like to live it.

Behind the scenes

A day with the crew. From mic check to last dance.

  1. Brian putting a mic on Ellyn before her ceremony in an open field in Alaska, mountains and storm clouds behind

    Mics on.

    Before the ceremony, we mic up the people whose words matter. Here, Ellyn, minutes before her vows in an Alaskan field.

  2. Over Brian's shoulder: he holds a sprig of wildflowers in front of the lens while the couple kisses, soft in the background

    Little tricks.

    A sprig of wildflowers in front of the lens wraps the moment in a soft frame of color.

  3. Our drone hovering in front of a wedding venue's porch, lanterns and white flowers soft in the background

    Licensed, insured drone pilots get the view nobody else at the wedding gets to see.

  4. Brian filming Tonya and Ori kissing under the palm trees on the beach in Tulum, Mexico, at their destination wedding

    Wherever you say yes.

    Nashville is home, but the cameras travel. Tonya and Ori's wedding under the palms in Tulum, Mexico.

  5. Reception selfie: Brian and Micah with our second-shooter photographer, the groom and the father of the groom, string lights and city views behind them

    Part of the party.

    By the reception we know everyone. Brian and Micah with our second shooter, the groom and his dad.

  6. Brian on the floor beside a grand piano during the reception speeches, giving a thumbs up while holding the key cover shut

    Whatever the moment takes.

    Even if that means sitting on the floor during the speeches, quietly holding the piano's key cover shut so a very small guest couldn't add a solo.

Brian brings a mug home from every wedding city.

Each one has a story that never made the film. So I'm telling them, one mug at a time.
