Team

Whenever you watch your wedding film - whether it is days or months after receiving it or years later with your children or grandchildren - we want it to bring back all the feels of the day. Timeless love deserves timeless storytelling. While you’re swept up in each other, we’re swept up in you, your family, your guests, and every nuanced detail, capturing the most authentic interactions in real time.

You will find that our team is a friendly and collaborative group of artists who are specially trained to deliver you their very best.


Kaipo Schwab

Lead Cinematographer / Editor

I'm Kaipo and I'm the founder and owner of 15 Minutes of Frame. In 2002, a photographer friend, Roy Mittelman, introduced me to a sweet same-sex couple who was looking to hire a videographer for their wedding. The fun, the family traditions and the overall emotion I experienced being a part of their amazing day opened up a whole new world for me and I've been hooked on weddings ever since.

I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, studied at Boston University, and have been happily married to my wife, Hope, for 18 years. Our son, Gio, also assists at weddings with me during the summer months while our one-eyed pug, Wink, endears himself to our team year round.

Oh yeah, I'm also on television every now and then. I play Igme, the prison medic, on Orange is the New Black. That's almost as fun as filming weddings!

Editor

I’m Alison and I started out as a cinematographer at 15 Minutes of Frame before I moved to editing in 2015. I love being able to help couples' personalities shine as they tell the unique story of their relationship.

Kaipo and the rest of the team at 15 Minutes of Frame are sure to create a beautiful document of a once-in-a-lifetime event. The laid back, yet vigilant approach puts everyone at ease and their cameras capture everything without anyone noticing that they are even there. Truly dedicated artists!
