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!

Saheb-Wysocki Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“Through my life, I’ve made right decisions and I’ve made wrong ones. But the best choices that I’ve made were the ones that always led me back to you.” David and Autumn have that classic friends to lovers romance story that’s straight out of a rom com. Having been together since high school, they wanted to keep their wedding day sweet, simple, and stress free. That included wanting just a simple Super 8 video (my favorite medium to shoot these days). They spent the morning of the wedding together before heading to the ceremony, where they were surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their love was so evident throughout the day in the way these two look at each other and the tenderness they show toward one another. Cheers to the Saheb-Wysockis!

Levine Wedding Preview - Austin, TX
Look up the definition of “dream couple” and I’m pretty sure you’ll get a picture of Jake and Jen! I always say that the best videos come from weddings where the couple is just head over heels for each other, and that’s what these two are. Their connection is tangible to anyone around them, and it made their day so easy and lovely to capture because that’s exactly how they are as a couple. Their day was nothing but stylish, effortless, romance. I can’t wait to get back their Super 8 footage and edit their story. 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!
