Father, Husband, Storyteller

It’s me! Gabe! I’ve lived in the Detroit area for most of my life. I’m happily married to my wife Jess, and proud dad to our amazing kids: Ellie, and John (after my late father). We are also proud parents to the world’s goofiest yellow lab, Noodle, a distinguished tabby, Kiki, and our newest addition: Boo, our black Halloween kitty.
Despite building a successful career in the corporate world, I decided to chase my dream and became a full-time wedding videographer and cinematographer. I have had zero regrets since making that change and absolutely believe that I was put on this earth to tell inspiring stories. I love what I do, I love my clients, and I have never been happier. TENTHIRTY FILMS has quickly become one of the premiere wedding film houses in Detroit, and it’s poised to do the same nationally and abroad.
When I’m not doing this, I’m probably making my kids laugh—and my wife cringe—with top-tier dad jokes, at the gym (you have to take care of yourself if you want to take care of others), composing music, doing projects around the house, or relaxing up in northern MI.
Why “TENTHIRTY”?
Despite losing my dad in a car accident on October 30th, I found joy in marrying my wife on that same date decades later.
Choosing love over sorrow, 'TENTHIRTY' symbolizes resilience and commitment.
TENTHIRTY FILMS was founded in honor of my dad, to preserve your special day as a cherished family heirloom, honoring your love and memories forever.
