Richards Wedding Highlights - Driftwood, TX

I always love when I get to shoot weddings for friends, because I feel like it gives me a special insight that helps me make their film just a little bit more *them*. Sean and Angela have such funny, charismatic personalities that are so different from my usual couples. I really wanted to highlight their natural banter, the way these two bounce off of each other, and how it doesn’t take being around them for too long in order to see how these two compliment each other so well. It was even cute how, in an attempt to match each other’s energy for their vows, Angela went a little bit funnier thinking Sean would be all jokes, and Sean went a little more serious thinking Angela would be super sentimental. That made editing this video all the more fun, trying to match both the funny and sentimental energy they brought throughout the day.

And all of that doesn’t even cover the MANY surprises Sean had in store for Angela, which included performing a song he had written for her, plus a brass band for their exit which serenaded them with a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” (believe me, this is fully on brand for Sean and Angela knew this when she agreed to marry him). Overall their day was so full of joy and laughter, and every detail seemed to capture who these two are together and the many ways they make a great team. Congrats to the Richards!

Richards Wedding Preview - Driftwood, TX

I always feel so lucky to be asked to film a friend’s wedding. It never stops being special to me to get to be a part of their day from beginning to end. Sean is a friend from my coworking space, and though I’d only met Angela briefly before their wedding it wasn’t hard to pick up on how well these two balance each other. Sean is the fun and spontaneous center of attention, and Angela is the driven, principled one keeping him humble. Their day was focused on everything that mattered to them - Christ, their friends and family, and an epic dance party. Congrats to the Richards!
