Meet Dom
The Man Behind Simple Love Films
I was born in Toronto, Canada, to Southern Italian immigrants, and luckily my parents encouraged me to learn and speak my native language. I speak Italian, Spanish and enough French to get me by. Ciao, Ca va bien? Muy lindo!
I moved to the great state of New Jersey when I was 12, and with the exception of my college years in Vermont, I’ve lived in NJ ever since. My lovely wife, Cassie and I now live in my hometown of Fort Lee with our black cats Tubby and Taco (aka TNT).
Besides being a filmmaker, I’m a songwriter and front-man to Like Herding Cats, my alternative indie rock band based in Brooklyn. I play seven different instruments, with the weirdest and most epic being Italian bagpipes (yep, that’s a thing!).
When I have downtime, I travel as often as I can. The Catskills, Arizona, Joshua Tree, Southern Italy, Denver and Miami are some of my favorite spots and I’m dying to make it out to the Pacific Northwest.
You’re likely to spot me over on Cassie’s Instagram stories making pizza, playing my bagpipes or dancing and vacuuming in our apartment (if you don’t have a Dyson you’re not living).
YOUR WEDDING FILM
This will be a capsule, a time stamp that you’ll forever be able to reflect on for years to come. Life is filled with challenges and it’s sometimes easy to forget how you got here in the first place. Your wedding film is a solid testament to the promises you’ve made to one another, and will help take you back to reflect and reconnect.
MY APPROACH
A wedding day consists of so many elements. Besides all the planning and details, your special day brings together friends and family who travel from all over to be present and celebrate you. I love capturing these emotional, fleeting moments. I capture and craft my films with the intentions of leaving you with a time capsule that will allow you to relieve your wedding day when you're feeling nostalgic.
YOUR STORY
There’s two sides to every love story and I’d love to hear about you both and the sparks that ignite and drive your love. I look forward to hearing about the silly things, the simple everyday things, the experiences, and the special moments that have shaped your relationship.
EXPERIENCE
Warm, comforting, at ease, relaxed - these are a few words couples have used to describe how they felt interacting with me on their wedding day. I love getting to know my couples and have gained so many new friends in the time I’ve been documenting love stories. Tell me about yourself. Let’s meet up for a coffee or a cocktail.
