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!

Skala Wedding Highlights - Bruceville, TX
I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a more sweet, joy filled couple as Sheyanne and Carson. First off, they’re obviously just plain adorable. They live on a farm and are collecting animals and doing home renovation projects, and they’re basically people after my own heart. Secondly, their day was packed with so many sweet and tender moments, I wasn’t even sure how it was all going to fit! The love and support of their friends and family was so evident, and the day could not have been more full of joy, laughter, and sweetness. Wishing you many wonderful years, and lots of cows, in your future! Congrats to the Skalas!

Sears-Greer Wedding Highlights - Hunt, TX
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard vows as beautifully written as Mackenzie and Danny’s. These two have such a tender and romantic, fairytales and shooting stars sort of love that seems like it came straight out of a movie. Though there were probably a million sentimental moments from the ceremony or toasts that could have made the final cut, it was so clear as they recited their vows to one another that their words, their promises to each other, would be the driving force behind their video and telling their wedding story.
Danny and Mackenzie got married on Mackenzie’s family ranch, where her parents built a barn just for the occasion. The hill country made for the most scenic backdrop to their love story, as friends and family gathered from all over. There were MANY happy tears shed throughout the day, as people shared laughs and words of encouragement throughout the toasts and ceremony. The love surrounding these two was as evident as the love they have for each other. Wishing them all the best for many years to come!

Dapolito Wedding Highlights - San Antonio, TX
Woo! We are working hard and cranking out videos over here now that busy season is finally (almost!) over. I’m so excited to start sharing more of my spring weddings, including Paul and Cristina’s gorgeous downtown San Antonio wedding, located at the San Antonio Museum of Art just off the Riverwalk. Their day was vibrant and fun, and reflected so much of the San Antonio/Fiesta culture. Their day was a party from start to finish, and they were such a joy to work with. Congrats to the Dapolitos!
