Levine Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“To love one who loves you, to admire one who admires you, to respect one who respects you is the exceeding limit of human joy. It’s stealing fire from heaven, and that is something that you two have done.”
It’s rare that I get to capture couples with the kind of tangible connection and chemistry that Jake and Jen have with each other. Their love is written all over their faces, their smiles, and the way they look at each other like nothing else in the world matters. Their day was romantic, dreamy, and filled with the creative and classy vibes that only the Commodore Perry could conjure up. The Pearl Events team led the stunning day alongside so many other talented vendors, Ida Mayes Florals and Whit McGuire photography.
It was also a creative joy to get to shoot Super 8 alongside digital. Jen is a graphic designer, which is always so flattering whenever I’m trusted by another creative to capture their day. She had a vision for her day and how she wanted it to be captured in photo and video, and I loved that she wanted to incorporate film into that.
The ceremony was poetic, sentimental, and sprinkled with the perfect amount of humor and tenderness. The toasts were moving and brought tears to everyone’s eyes. And the reception was led by the Nightowls who capped off the night with an epic dance party. It was a night and a love for the ages. Congrats to the Levines!

Bamback Wedding Highlights - Canyon Lake, TX
“In our culture, when girls [get] married… we think that she is no longer in our house. But it is not the case. We always have a place in our house for both of you, so in that sense we are still glad.” When Niva asked me about incorporating Nepali music into their video as a way to honor her Nepali roots, I was really excited at the opportunity to try something new. This was a tangible, creative way for their wedding video to reflect the day - a blending of families and cultures. One of my favorite parts of the day was Niva and Parker getting ready together, something I hadn’t ever seen a couple do on their wedding day before. The day was vibrant and fun, while also feeling very intentional and slow, fitting both Niva and Parker’s personalities so well. The night ended in an epic dance party to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, though I think Niva and Parker’s love story is the real winner. Congrats to the Bambacks!

Anderson Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“When I was in seventh grade and Seren was in fifth grade, she came up to me and boasted that she had a boyfriend. That was twenty years ago…” Matty and Seren’s love story started all the way back in elementary school. Through highs and lows and some temporary breakups in between, these two have been by each other’s side for nearly their entire lives. Their day was a celebration of not only their love, but their growth as two individuals and all the ways that they have strengthened each other. Their day was romantic, sentimental, and celebratory, a melding of two lives, families, and cultures. Congrats (finally) to the Andersons!

Mittal-Quenan Wedding Highlights - Georgetown / Austin, TX
“I am the sky, you are the earth. I am the thought, you are the speech. I am the fire, you are the fuel. I am the song, you are the words. I am the ocean, you are the shore.”
I think it’s safe to say that I was more than a little inspired by Maddy and Shubham’s Hindu wedding ceremony! This was my first ever to shoot, and it ended up being such a beautiful weekend and experience! Central to Maddy and Shubham’s weekend was the involvement of their families. There was so much love surrounding them, and the way both families embraced each other’s cultures was beautiful to witness. On top of it all, Maddy and Shubham are just an outright cute couple. They are playful, funny, outgoing, and it was a joy spending their wedding weekend with them. Congrats to the happy couple!
