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!

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!
DeSpain Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
Hailey and Beck are one of those couples who you know instantly are going to have an awesome wedding. Their style, taste in music, and everything about them screams cool (I mean, his name is BECK? Seriously, does it get any cooler?). But what’s even cooler about them is their love for each other and their love for Jesus. Their wedding day was flipped completely upside down by 2020, but they still found joy and were able to celebrate their marriage on their wedding day.
The heart behind my business and what I do is to remind people of the importance of their marriage story. It’s not about just a pretty venue, a pretty dress, and some flowers. Ultimately this year has shown me more and more how great my couples are in that we align so much on our views of marriage being greater than the wedding day. Hailey and Beck exemplify this in so many ways, and it’s a joy to be a part of capturing their marriage story. Congrats to the DeSpains!
