Bays Wedding Highlights - San Antonio, TX
When I saw Jordan on her wedding day, one of the first things she told me was that I looked pretty. On HER wedding day, she was making me feel so special and seen. That’s the type of person and friend Jordan is to others, and part of the reason I know Jake is so special too. Their relationship formed from online chats while Jake was stationed overseas in the military, and they quickly fell in love when they finally met in person. And it totally makes sense. They are both passionate, caring people who stand up for what they believe in, and fight for what they believe is right.
When I heard Jordan’s stunning poem that she had written as part of her vows, I immediately knew that it needed to be incorporated into their video in some special way. Getting the chance to stretch some creative muscles and try to create a moment in their video that was slow and beautiful and poetic was so rewarding. Jordan and Jake’s love for each other just feels so authentic and deep, I loved the chance to be a part of their day. Congrats to the Bays!

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!

Jones Wedding Highlights - Spring Branch, TX
“Hailey, I knew you were his better half the first day I met you. And then when you shot that big buck on New Year’s Eve, I said, ‘Yep, she’s the one!’” Matt and Hailey’s story started with a (what could potentially seem sketchy) date on Matt’s ranch. But these two made it through dating and engagement during the pandemic, to now being married and having had their first baby together just a few short months after their wedding day! Their wedding was sentimental, focused on God, friends, and the growing Jones family. Their love for each other was so tangible through the way these two light up when they look at each other, and it made the entire day such a joy to capture. Congrats to the Joneses!

Bays Wedding Preview - San Antonio, TX
Have you ever heard of someone being surprised by their own wedding venue on their wedding day? Since Jordan knew pretty quickly that Jake was the one, she went ahead and booked their wedding venue before he even put a ring on her finger. (Talk about trust!) She then surprised him on their wedding day by revealing that their venue was actually attached to a Western art museum! During cocktail hour, they were able to sneak away for a private tour where they got to explore and take in all of the southwestern art and history. It was a beautiful, quiet moment for just the two of them, in the middle of the biggest day of their lives. Jordan and Jake, may you always find the quiet, special moments in the middle of the busyness. Congrats to the Bays!
