Hey! I'm Thomas, Milwaukee wedding videographer, and the guy behind Character D Films.

To me, the most beautiful tales are formed by story arcs that draw from the nostalgia of the past and the bright potential of the future.

Your wedding is the joining of a thousand meaningful story arcs—a junction of old and new, now and forever.  It’s where your story and those of your loved ones come together.

A life-long passion for visual creativity is the bedrock for my work.  I cannot remember a time when movies didn't seem like the greatest way to shape a beautiful story.  Now, I shape those stories every day, and they're some of the most gorgeous love stories I've ever had the pleasure of capturing.

I developed the language of video as a boy--one who was enchanted by film and the power of emotion that it wielded.  I honed the ability to speak that language at the Communication division of the University of Wisconsin--Stevens Point.  After expanding that language at the Peck School of the Arts in Milwaukee, I dove into the realm of wedding filmmaking, and I've never looked back!

I look forward to being part of your wedding dream team of vendors.  You can quickly and easily book a consultation with me on my contact page.
