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!

Rydin Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
In my eight years of filming weddings, I can honestly say that I’ve never had a wedding experience quite like Eric and Manon’s! The first, and most obvious reason, is that they wanted their ENTIRE wedding shot on Super 8 film. Normally I would only shoot a couple of rolls on a wedding day, but knowing that this was the primary medium for capturing the day, we decided to go big (I went through 18 rolls of film in one day!).
The second reason is that Eric and Manon’s day was so intimate and personal in a way that I’ve never seen before. They rented a stunning house off of Lake Austin for thirteen of their closest friends and family to spend a weekend of celebration, with incredible food and ten course meals provided by Chef Danny Kievit, and wine pairings chosen by the groom (who happens to be a fantastic sommelier!). The entire weekend centered around just being together and experiencing each other’s presence, taking in some of the best things life has to offer.
But the highlight of it all was the way that Eric and Manon’s friends and family made me and the other vendors feel right at home, as though we were also guests at this fabulous party. Maybe it was the sound of the Super 8 camera that made people feel so comfortable in approaching me, but I spent most of the day talking with and making friends with everyone in attendance. I spent time with the chef, the coordinator, the servers, drinking the leftover wine and being made to feel like I was part of the celebration. It was a truly one of a kind experience, and one that I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of. Congrats to the Rydins!

Masterson Wedding Highlights - Aubrey, TX
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a stunning sunset on a wedding day! Jason and Tabitha’s wedding day started out sunny and windy, and just as we were doing portraits a storm started to roll in and created the most beautiful light you could ask for. Their day was dreamy and romantic, with a touch of country twang. Brought together by a dating app and a classic case of “right place, right time”, God finally brought together Jason and Tabitha at just the right time in their lives. Congrats to the Mastersons!
