Bolner Wedding Highlights - The St. Anthony Hotel - San Antonio, TX
“What came home the semester after wasn’t the Andrew that left before. He had changed, wearing a felt cowboy hat, a belt buckle the size of a billboard, and the boots from North Star Mall. What happened? Who was this girl?” Andrew and Madeline are two of the most fun, funny, and outgoing people you’ll ever meet. But behind the fun exterior are two very sentimental, very in love people, who deeply value their friends and family. The bigness of the day was filled with so many small, emotional moments between each other, their parents, their siblings, and their friends. Led by the always wonderful Elegant Events team at the historic St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio, this classically beautiful design was straight out of a fairytale. The night ended in the most epic dance party led by Intensity Bands. It was truly a “Bolner’s Fiesta” to remember!

Bolner Wedding Teaser - The St. Anthony Hotel - San Antonio, TX
Decided I wanted to start the week off right with a preview of the Bolner wedding! (Or should I say, Bolner Fiesta?) I’m not sure I’ve ever shot such a fun couple with the most fun friend group. Madeline and Andrew are the life of the party and this party was tough to beat! Cheers to the Bolners!

Smith Wedding Highlights - The Bygone Hotel - Wimberley, TX
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” Not only is it a famous When Harry Met Sally quote, but it was also part of Megan and Matthew’s movie inspired wedding vows. When Megan told me about all of their fun and unique wedding weekend plans - a movie night featuring Father of the Bride, mahjong lessons, a Spanish guitar player, and a haikuist writing custom poetry - I knew this wedding was going to be one for the books. Exchanging personal and private vows together the morning of their wedding, they opted for a more fun take on their public vows by weaving in romantic movie and tv quotes, and giving their guests Bingo cards to try to match with the quotes.
Inspired by their whimsical vow style, I wanted to create something equally fun and different by pulling several movie clips referenced in their vows. It was such a fun weekend for all involved, and I think the end product reflected so much of Matthew and Megan’s intentional yet laid back energy. This was such a fun video to edit and I’m so happy they let me be a part of their day. (Stick to the end for an extra added surprise!) Congrats to the Smiths!

Ioos Wedding Highlights - The Cedars Ranch - Wimberley, TX
“In my heart, Dereck, I married you a long time ago. And I believe in your heart that you married me too.” Dereck and Amanda’s love story was one that was years in the making. When I first heard their vows, I immediately knew that they would be the backbone of their film, and that I wanted to include footage of their relationship throughout the years to better tell their story. And although Amanda and Dereck might be known for their fun and adventurous spirits, their day was equally emotional and intimate, with only their closest friends and family present. The night ended in a music festival style party with an energy only these two could bring to the dance floor. Congrats to the Iooses!
