My Style

My approach is cinematic with an instinctive edge—rooted in the spontaneity of run-and-gun shooting, elevated by a deep love for film. I call it structured chaos: a seamless blend of modern elegance, documentary realism, and a hint of nostalgic warmth. Every frame is intentional. Every moment, artfully unscripted. The result? A film that feels as effortless as it is unforgettable.

My Story

After years working as a corporate videographer and cinematographer for commercial shoots, I finally found the courage to step out of my comfort zone and try shooting weddings. Mainly because of the need to provide for my family. That leap of faith changed everything.

What started as a love for movies and fast-paced, run-and-gun shooting evolved into something deeper: crafting timeless wedding films that blend modern style, raw emotion, and just the right touch of nostalgia.

Today, I lead The KL Media with a team that shares my obsession with storytelling and soul. We don’t just film your day—we capture the moments that feel like you.

You Choose!

Your film should feel like you. That’s why we let you choose the style—or blend them together for something truly personal.

MODERN: Light direction, clean composition, and stylish moments that still feel natural.

DOCUMENTARY: We keep things real—capturing the candid, emotional, in-between moments without interruption.

NOSTALGIC: Shot on vintage cameras for that soft, dreamy, throwback feel—like your favorite old memory.

You set the tone. We bring it to life—authentic, cinematic, and unforgettable.

BEHIND
the LENS

I'm KURT — K, for short. i'm an INFJ BASE ON MY MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TEST. I LOVE ME SOME GOOD WHISKEY AND OOOHH DID SOMEONE SAY; COFFEE?!

With a thoughtful eye and a quiet passion for storytelling, I work closely with my couples to create moments that feel naturally elegant — filled with genuine emotion, beautiful surroundings, and meaningful connections (with gentle guidance to bring their vision to life). I’m inspired by the subtle interplay of light and shadow, and I see weddings as intimate, artful celebrations of love that continually move and inspire me.
