Sharrone Calafiore
Sharrone Calafiore is a wedding filmmaker who creates captivating and unique films that are as genuine as they are beautiful. Sharrone believes the key to creating unforgettable films is musicality and creative editing. It’s this ability to seamlessly weave imagery and music, along with an intense attention to detail, to create a cinematic experience that transports viewers into the heart of each couple’s love story. Bold and sophisticated, her unique style is heavily influenced by her love for fashion, music and romance, all of which influence her distinct aesthetic, resulting as one of the most recognizable in the industry.

Jason McCutchen
Growing up I have always been taken by sacred art. Myths. Legend. Scriptures. These stories tell us about what it means to be human. They show our joys and sorrows and give us a timeless heritage. I can remember thinking, “How amazing would it be to be a part of this story-telling tradition.” Fast forward, and as I look at what I do now, I can’t help feeling that wedding art IS an expression of this very same tradition of sacred storytelling. Wedding art is sacred art.

Ryan Browne
Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Ryan had an affinity for creating with his hands from an early age. Grandson of a woodworker and son of an architect, its in Ryan’s blood to build things from scratch. Ryan’s work embodies his continual pursuit to design within a constrained set of parameters, most often, the landscapes he flies over with his camera. Currently residing in Brooklyn NY, Ryan satisfies his desire for exploration by traveling the world with his wife Heidi, who is a wonderfully talented fashion and beauty commercial photographer.

Julia Kentner
Julia Kentner is a Fine Art Inspired Cinematographer serving clients in Saint Louis and in Wedding Destinations worldwide. Whether her clients decide to take their love stories across the ocean or are simply inspired by travel, Julia’s eye for experience will always show up in her films. Real People. Real Moments. Exceptional Celebrations.

Bobby Burns
Hey, I’m Bobby! I’m an award-winning wedding filmmaker based in Minneapolis and shooting around the world. I am constantly pushing the boundaries on what a wedding film can look and feel like, and continually pushing myself as an artist. Over the past 17 years, I’ve had the privilege to capture love stories across the US and beyond. I serve my local Minneapolis & St. Paul markets, in addition to many national park elopements and destination weddings around the world.
F.A.Q.
Check in begins at 2pm! We can’t wait to see you all. We may even have a few goodies waiting for you in your beautiful room.
You're welcome to skip all meals, but we highly advise against this as we believe the connections formed over a meal are second to none… and you already paid for them anyway.
Here at WFS we are huge advocates of paying amazing artist for their knowledge and experience. In order to keep costs down and maximize return for our speakers, 100% of the money generated by the coaching sessions will go directly to each speaker (except for Jason and Bobby).
