How it all started:

My freshman year of college, I began working as a social media manager for Concordia University Ann Arbor’s baseball team. I would travel with the team, take photos, help with recruiting, put together video montages, and more. Two years later, a teammate was getting married, and asked if I would be willing to shoot a wedding video for him. I never considered doing weddings. I thought about it, and decided to give it a shot! The rest is history (as they say).

Why “Mr.” Alec J. Escandon?

Because most of the time, that is who I am. I serve as a theology teacher at Lutheran West in Rocky River, Ohio. I love teaching, love working at Lutheran West, and more importantly love being able to share God’s word every single day (and to think they even pay me to do it)! It’s truly my dream job, so I wanted to make it a part of my “brand”.

What expertises do you have?

In terms of creative endeavors, I have done it all. I have done photo, video, brand design, merchandise design, web design, social media design (and redesign), audio editing, colorization (of black and white photos), and more. I love to learn new things and help people achieve their vision. If I did not list something that you are interested in, I would love to help out and learn with you!

Where are you out of?

I currently live in the Cleveland area, but most of my weddings thus far have been in Michigan, as I went to college in Ann Arbor, Michigan (no, not THAT college…). I am more than willing to travel for weddings for a minimal travel fee (within the Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania area) and negotiable fee elsewhere. I always try to be reasonable and accessible.
