Karen and Ryan founded Glare Media based in their shared passions and values - Their love for people, their genuine appreciation for the beauty of love itself ignited their passion for cinematography. They see each wedding they film not just as a job but as an opportunity to witness and capture love in its purest form. By combining their talents, they could not only pursue their passion for the art of storytelling but also create lasting memories for others.
Running their business as a couple allowed them to prioritize their family and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Above all, their faith played a significant role, as they see their work as a way to serve God by spreading joy when meeting new people and celebrating the beauty of relationships through their craft.
Ryan began his career in video production at a young age working in the family's business as a producer and cinematographer while attending university and pursuing his law degree. After receiving his law degree, Ryan continued working in the film industry and later founded Glare Media with his wife Karen.
While good videographers come to a project knowing what shots they want, Ryan takes what he discussed with the couple and creatively develops a story in harmony with his special vision. He tackles each project with impeccable care and a meticulous eye for detail to make sure that each dimension of your vision for your special day is brought to life.
