Cicconetti Wedding Highlights - Fredericksburg, TX
I always say that I want to capture couples authentically, that I don’t want their video to feel overly produced or like it doesn’t fit the actual couple. And I think that too often wedding days become about “the wedding”, and not the commitment that’s being made to each other. This was absolutely not the case for Janet and Mario, who are the one of the most authentic, genuine couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming. While their day was full of plans pivoting, they remained joyful and focused on the reason they were there: not for some instagram worthy wedding, but to get married and promise their lives to each other at the end of the day.
These two are so much fun and full of personality (or “Cicconetti spirit”, as Mario would say), that I’m pretty sure the entire day I kept thinking about how I was possibly going to fit everything into one video! It was a day filled with wild humor, light heartedness, deeply tender moments, and some all out craziness on the dance floor. I’m not sure I’ve had a wedding packed with so many levels of emotion in one day, but it for sure created a special place in my heart for these two, and I think one of the best love stories I’ve ever captured! Congrats to the Cicconettis!

Cicconetti Wedding Preview - Fredericksburg, TX
When there are 20 mph winds on your wedding day and the theme of the day becomes "pivot!", you know you gotta make a teaser that pivots too. (Keep watching if you want to know what I mean! ) I couldn't stop pinching myself all day during Mario and Janet's wedding day. The couple, their friends, the vendor team, everything about the day was perfection. Even when the wind threw plans off and the ceremony wasn't up on the bluff anymore, winds died down and we were able to capture some of the most beautiful portrait footage I think I've ever filmed! Everything about this wedding and this couple was so special, I still can't believe I was there to capture it all. Congrats to the Cicconettis!

Sears-Greer Wedding Highlights - Hunt, TX
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard vows as beautifully written as Mackenzie and Danny’s. These two have such a tender and romantic, fairytales and shooting stars sort of love that seems like it came straight out of a movie. Though there were probably a million sentimental moments from the ceremony or toasts that could have made the final cut, it was so clear as they recited their vows to one another that their words, their promises to each other, would be the driving force behind their video and telling their wedding story.
Danny and Mackenzie got married on Mackenzie’s family ranch, where her parents built a barn just for the occasion. The hill country made for the most scenic backdrop to their love story, as friends and family gathered from all over. There were MANY happy tears shed throughout the day, as people shared laughs and words of encouragement throughout the toasts and ceremony. The love surrounding these two was as evident as the love they have for each other. Wishing them all the best for many years to come!

Shebat Wedding Highlights - Fredericksburg, TX
In the last couple of years I feel like I’ve had more and more “pinch me” moments in my job. I get to work weddings that I could’ve only dreamed about with couples who are amazing beyond belief. Enter John and Hannah, two sweet souls who love Jesus, their family, and their friends like nothing else. Their day at Contigo Ranch went above and beyond anything I could’ve dreamed up on my “perfect wedding” Pinterest board (which doesn’t actually exist, but let me tell you if it did, this wedding would be the entire vibe).
Hannah and John were amazingly kind, fun, and had a sweet sentimental side to them that we got lucky enough to capture during their AMAZING portrait session. That light on the hills looking over the hill country?? Pretty sure I’ll never get over that. And GOSH. That dance floor!! I think I caught some of the most epic dance footage I’ve ever filmed. Everything about their day was so inspiring when it came time to edit, and I was so excited to finally get to use a song that I’ve loved and sat on for a couple of years (“Last Chance (Alt. Version) by CHPTRS). I had never found the right footage, couple, and tone to pull it off, but John and Hannah’s day fit so perfectly. And then as an added bonus, I got to use this other fun song (“Come Together” by Spirit City) for the reception footage, and it might be my most favorite wedding reception half of a video ever. I seriously want to dance and sing every time I watch it back. I’m so thrilled with how this final video came out, and I hope John and Hannah get to enjoy it for years to come. Cheers to the Shebats!
