🚨LIFE UPDATE!🚨
Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my new career journey and let you all know about my NEW business! As you all know, I made an announcement last year that I was shutting down Elevate Light to pursue my dream career of working with animals. Since then I have completed my Zoo & Aquarium Science Certificate, I am still continuing my internship at Black Creek Wildlife Center (which I LOVE) and now have started up my own pet sitting business while enrolled in a pet sitter certification course! If you are in the Sumter, Bishopville or Manning area and in need of a sitter this summer while away on vacation, check out my business page, Happy Pets Animal Care! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575987707104

Offering pet owners reliable and trustworthy service for drop-in visits and pet sitting. Servicing Sumter, SC.

🚨 Important update! 🚨

Just because Elevate Light has closed down, it doesn't mean I've put away my camera for good! I have been blessed for over a year now to volunteer at Saving Sumter's Strays and I'm so thankful that they allowed me to do this promo video!

If you are looking for a new furry best friend, please check out Saving Sumter's Strays! The animals are amazing and the people who give of their time really care about these animals and getting them into loving forever homes. You can also help the shelter by giving of your time volunteering or donating supplies. Click the links in the video description for more info!

Elevate Light is officially closed for business. My website is no longer up but I will be keeping my YouTube channel, Instagram account and page up so that everyone can always go back and watch their videos. I may come on here from time to time to share some fun memories, bloopers or behind the scenes video and who knows maybe one day I will open the business back up, but for now I feel that this is the best move for me and I'm very excited about the opportunities God has blessed me with to learn and grow in a new career field working with animals, something that I have only dreamed about doing for years and now with my volunteering and internship, it is becoming a reality!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to once again say a big thank you to everyone who has supported my small business in one way or another throughout the years. It's been a great learning experience and a chance for me to grow my filmmaking skills. I was so blessed to work with some truly amazing people and would love to stay in touch! If you have a favorite or fun memory of us working together, feel free to share it below in the comments!

My first wedding job was in 2015 and throughout that time I have learned a lot about filmmaking, the wedding business, and working with different kinds of people with the common goal of making the couple’s wedding day as special and memorable as possible. Yesterday Colby and I had a great send off for this chapter in our lives in celebrating Casey and Anthony’s wedding. I would like to thank every couple that has ever trusted Elevate Light with your wedding. That’s not something I take lightly and I am very grateful for each of you. I hope that your wedding video is something that you will cherish for many years to come. A special thanks to the amazing photographers we have had the opportunity to work with. It truly is a team effort between photographers and videographers to fully capture the emotion and memories of a wedding day. Thank you to the fun and friendly DJs that have kept the energy up at the reception and have been so kind in working with us to help us capture the shots we need and letting us use our recorder on your microphone for toast speeches. You guys definitely make our job more fun! Thank you to everyone who has supported my business through sharing my videos and referring me. Word of mouth has a been a huge part of my business growing! Finally, thank you so much to everyone who has ever been an assistant/second shooter with me on weddings. Whether if you worked one wedding with me or twenty, I am very grateful to each of you for giving of your time on a Saturday, work the long hours, attend team training days and being willing to learn the skill of wedding filmmaking. You ladies are amazing!

I’m not sure what the future holds or if I will be back filming weddings again but I am grateful for the time I had, the memories made and the people I met. Thank you all so very much and may God bless you.

One thing that is great about being in the wedding industry is the great work relationships you gain that can turn into friendships along the way. Colby and I started working with back in 2021 and it has been such a pleasure. We always look forward to working with her and she has become a friend of mine. As Elevate Light weddings will be coming to a close for the foreseeable future in a few months, I can look back and say I am so thankful for the opportunities to meet and work with such amazing people.

I will be on vacation from July 1st-7th. I will be unplugging from social media during this time and will not be responding to work related messages.

What a joy it was to celebrate Taylor and Zach! Taylor not only said vows to Zach but also to Zach's daughter, Maci. It was so special seeing these three united as a family on this beautiful day. Congratulations to the Galloways!

We had a blast at the Lizard Man Stomp today in Downtown Bishopville! We had the opportunity to film some footage for the Green Swamp Collective who premiered their brand new song entitled "The Ballad of the Lizard Man." You can download it on BandCamp today!
