Travel & destination
Hotels, tourism boards, group trips. I learn a place's personality and make something that could only have been shot there.

Why it hitsHuman-made
The stuff AI can't make.
Real reactions
The laugh, the nerves, the moment someone forgets the camera is there. You can only get that by being there.
Real people
The couple, the founder, the stranger on the boat. Their personality decides the edit, so no two of my films come out the same.
Real nostalgia
Warm, saturated, a little home-movie. I grade for the feeling of a memory you're still inside of.

About me.
Hi, I'm Hayden.
Filmmaker, people person, and usually the friend saying, "Wait, let me get a video of this." I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. These days, I call it my job.
I'm the creative behind Hayden Burn Media, with over five years of videography experience and a background in marketing and communications. I create films and social content for travel, weddings, events, and brands.
Saying yes has taken me through Europe, Africa, and Asia on Semester at Sea for 111 days, to the Philippines with 14 strangers, and to Japan on my own. My love for travel has only grown, and wherever life takes me, my camera usually comes with.
My purpose is capturing the way moments feel. Connecting with people and documenting real moments so you can return to them for years to come.
AI can generate a lot. But it can't experience a moment, build a connection, or see the world the way I do.
So yes, you'll still need a girl with a camera. Consider this my introduction.
xo, hayden
