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!

A little background on how I license music for my videos: I use a website called Musicbed, which I pay a subscription fee in order to legally license music for all of my wedding videos. I regularly search through it for music I might want to use and save for later. Sometimes that means sitting on a song for a long time before I ever find the right couple with the right wedding and the right footage to ever fit the song. And sometimes it means never getting to use the song at all. I’d rather have a song fit the couple because of who they are, rather than me try to force a song to work for a wedding or couple where it just wasn’t right.
Enter Hannah and John and their hill country wedding. These two had such a sweet, romantic side to them, and the setting could not have been any more perfect and picturesque. It was the perfect weather, perfect scenery, perfect sunset, perfect day. I can’t wait to share more. Congrats to the Shebats!
