Wedding & travel films · Belize

Love, adventure & the moments between.

I film weddings, people and places as they really feel: warm, honest and cinematic, from Orange Walk to the cayes and beyond.

The approach
You'll be living your day. I'll be catching the looks, the laughs and the light you didn't notice.

No stiff poses, no pressure. I stay in the background and let the day unfold, then edit it into a film you'll want to rewatch every anniversary.

Beyond weddings

Jungle, reef & sky.

Waterfalls, horseback trails, river boats and helicopter flights. I make content for tour operators, resorts, restaurants and brands that want to show Belize at its best.

Why “Bird”?

I grew up in Orange Walk, the little Belizean town famous for its tacos, asking myself one question: how do I make a living doing something I actually love?

The answer was a camera. The name came from a movie. After watching Rio in 2011 I started greeting everyone with “hey bird, what up bird”, and it stuck. Before long the whole town was calling me Bird. It felt right for a filmmaker who's always looking for a new angle, so Thebirdfilming was born.

Today I film weddings, brands and adventures across Belize and abroad, from Shark Ray Alley and Lighthouse Reef to the streets of Cartagena, Mexico and California.
