Our story

Preserving how it felt, not just what it looked like.

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart and a father of two. I know how quickly meaningful moments pass and how much it matters to hold onto them. That perspective shapes every wedding we film.

My faith is the foundation of how I lead and serve. It shapes the care, the responsibility, and the intention behind the work, and it is why I stay personally involved in every wedding, from the first conversation to the final film.

The principle is simple: work with purpose. When something is done with care, clarity follows. It’s what lets us make films that feel grounded, meaningful, and lasting.

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”
EPHESIANS 5:25 (ESV)

Our core three

“If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.”
1 CORINTHIANS 13:3 (ESV)

In their words

“I got a friendship, images of our memories, and a film capturing our love story.”

Javier and the entire Sundial team are beyond talented. Every moment of the wedding day was so enjoyable, seamlessly captured, and over delivered.

“Watching my wedding film back was like reliving the best day of my life.”

They captured all our special moments and details, and even sent separate videos of the ceremony and all the speeches. The quality is truly impeccable.
