Jon Hargett
Whether I am leading your photography, or leading your videography, I will be present in all areas of creative management as well as present on highlight and important moments throughout the day. My main focuses are going to be capturing images with a tighter lens, aiming to create images that encompass the intimate expression. These will pair well with the wider shots that Greg will capture
Greg Rubbert
Greg is my trusted videographer. He has incredible talent in capturing moments in a way that match the emotions being experienced.
