Michael | Videographer for Whole Heart Studios
Michael is one of our videographers! He is behind the camera on the weekends and behind the counter on the weekdays, where he is a manager at a sports athleisure store! He fell in love with videography on accident due to being surrounded with the topic of capturing weddings from Billy + Taylor, his brother-in-law + sister-in-law, way too often!

He enjoys being able to tell a couple’s love story through a wedding film.
