Meet Jessica & Kyle Nelson
Videography team from Duluth, MN
Minnesota, Duluth in particular, has been our home for many years. Kyle came up to Duluth for college where he attended UMD, and Jessica moved to Duluth for work. Over the years, we’ve completely fallen in love with the area and consider it home.
We both started our careers in sales and marketing, but quickly discovered the corporate world was not for us. We had and have plans to travel the world, so we needed a way to make money no matter where we were. Videography as a travel worthy vocation literally fell into our laps. We’ve always taken tons of photos and video of our travels to share with friends and family but had never thought about it as a career until good friends of ours asked if we would video their wedding. That day was when it all clicked. We loved every aspect of capturing their wedding (filming, working with the couple, editing, the creativity, working together, etc.) so much we knew this needed our full devotion and we haven’t looked back since.

Why Life With Vigor?
We both have always strived to live life to the fullest, and so it made sense for our videography vocation to follow suit. Whether that description was simply to show how we approached each job, or if it described the work we were pursuing, we wanted our name to also be our montage. Living life with vigor.
Vigor: Effort, Energy, Ethusiasm. Strength and Good Health. Lively. Full of Life.
By living our life and conducting our business this way, we knew we would naturally meet people passionate about something in their lives. We would have the opportunity of telling the story of what invigorates them most.
Jessica Nelson
Co-owner, Videographer
Jessica is the active one of the family. Although she can nerd out on a topic, she eventually has to do something. Creatively, she is the best at seeing the details and knowing what images would best fit the storyline. She would be the one to take your outline and turn it into a full blown visual story.
Kyle Nelson
Co-owner, Videographer
Kyle is the nerd of the family. He loves learning and mastering just about anything. Creatively, he is the best at seeing the big picture and knowing what direction a video should go in. You could say he is a dreamer, an idea man, so always expect him to push a project out of the norm.
