Some of the best events we've filmed happened outside on the North Shore, with Lake Michigan as the backdrop. Highland Park has a way of making a simple gathering feel like a moment, and our job is to capture that without getting in the way of it.

A bat mitzvah on the shore of Lake Michigan

Our first bat mitzvah was at Rosewood Beach in Highland Park: an outdoor service on the sand, followed by dinner with about fifty guests. The family asked for candid, low-production coverage. No big lights, no staged moments, nobody asked to do something twice.

That shaped how we worked. We stayed small and quiet during the service and let the emotional center of the day, the Torah reading, play out on its own. We worked alongside the event photographer so neither of us blocked the other. Then we delivered two things: a 3 to 4 minute film for the family to keep and a 90-second cut for sharing.

Coverage like that only works when you plan for it ahead of time. We map the order of the day, find the spots where we can see faces without standing in the aisle and agree with the photographer on who goes where.

Events we film on the North Shore

• Bar and bat mitzvahs, including services outdoors or at a temple.

• Weddings and milestone celebrations, working alongside your planner and photographer.

• Private and community events where you'd rather have a story than a recording.

For weddings and quinceañeras, we also offer photo and video together with Maira Ochoa Photography, so you get one team and one plan.
