James Burkart is a cinematographer with a great passion for documenting weddings-one of life’s most important milestones. He’s known for going beyond the mere documentation by immortalizing the experience in an artful and tasteful cinematic fashion. He founded Burkart Video Productions in 2005 and films an average of 30 events per year. He fades into the background in order to capture “real” moments and personalizes every film to match the energy and personalities of his clients.
Burkart is sought after by creative professionals who admire his artistic abilities and want him to produce a stylistic promotional piece. He has teamed up with McIntosh & Murphy on ReelCre8tive Productions, original web programming including Nesting Newbies. |
