I like to think I’ve always been passionate about communication. In elementary school this showed itself as D’s in conduct (it was always ‘Too much talking…’) but it later showed up in high school debate and mock legislature, facilitating difficult diversity conversations as an Orientation Leader and RA in college, and parent/teacher conferences as a young Teach For America corps member. These days it shows up most often in the films we create for clients (and for fun), but at its core it’s really still all about communication.
Past experiences working with high-performing schools and teachers have helped to calibrate expectations high, and I still love any chance I get to work in the world of education. The mountains of North Carolina make my heart smile, and I dream of one day running away there. My three pups keep our Instagram full of #pupcontent, and cause me to go over on my data usage every. single. month. On a daily basis I feel incredibly grateful to have found a career that still feels a lot like a hobby.

I’m Laura (she/hers) and I’m a visual storyteller. In a nutshell: I use video, photography & motion graphics to create a tangible narrative that a person can connect with.
I am most energized when I'm working in the world of food, but no matter the industry, I whole-heartedly enjoy meeting and working with people that are doing things they love while at the same time trying to make this world a slightly better place.

The camera is Yuri’s comfort blanket — that and the oyster bar. He loves meeting new people and capturing real moments in a way that can be treasured by generations. In his spare time, he enjoys the out-of-the-way winding road with his wife, but they’re likely cleaning up after their two kids. Yuri also feels silly about third person references. ^_^

In West Philadelphia, born and raised, filming or editing is how Tyler spends most of his days. After moving to California to attend USC, he received his film degree from Los Angeles Film School and went on to work various positions inside the entertainment industry. He moved to Durham in 2013 and worked as an editor/videographer. He moved to Durham in 2013 and worked as an editor/videographer for Triangle-based production and marketing companies before finally landing at BDLB (he and his wife are proud formed BDLB wedding clients). He believes in three things- the power of love, the power of story, and the power of pit bulls (specifically his dog Marge, a rescue from Hope Animal Rescue who is now living the American dream.)
