The Studio

Before launching Nice Shot Films, I spent over a decade teaching filmmaking and working in commercial production—experiences that deeply shaped my appreciation for honest storytelling and refined aesthetics. On your wedding day, my goal is simple: blend in effortlessly, collaborate seamlessly with your creative team, and craft a film that feels both timeless and raw. When I'm not behind a camera, you'll usually find me close to my home in Guerneville, exploring Northern California's coastlines with my boyfriend and dog, Eddie.

—David, Owner & Filmmaker
