Ganter Wedding Highlights - Bryan, OH
Ok, this is my public declaration of being the worst cousin ever! My little baby cousin, Alexa, got married to the love of her life, Kenny, last August, and until now I haven’t had time to edit their video! At first when Covid hit I thought I had all of the time in the world and would be getting to edit it sooner, but then because of Covid I ended up booking five last minute weddings over the summer, and now I’m basically slammed. I tried to finish their video in time for their anniversary but here I am, a couple of weeks late. I’m sorry Lex, I love you, please forgive your dear old cousin.
Anywaaaaay, we love Kenny and are so grateful that God brought him and Alexa together. They are a perfect match and are so sweet together. You can tell just being around them how much they love each other, and like each other. They bring peace and calm wherever they go, and they are a joy to be around. We love you Ganters, and welcome to the family Kenny!

DeSpain Wedding Preview - Austin, TX
When Hailey and Beck reached out to me about their wedding at South Congress Hotel I was so excited! I’d only filmed there once and it was a rehearsal dinner, so I was dying to film an actual wedding there. Then of course, covid hit and like everything else, wedding plans changed. The wedding was postponed, and later the venue changed to a family friend’s ranch out in Dripping Springs.
While the plans changed, the spirit of the day didn’t. Beck and Hailey’s day was so full of joy and such a fun party with their nearest and dearest friends and family. The venue was absolutely stunning, even if it was different from the original vision, and Hailey’s mid-century dream still came through in all of the details. The love these two have for each other was so sweet to witness, and I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes them. Congrats to the DeSpains!
Fleming Wedding Highlights - Houston, TX
Emily and Tyler’s wedding day has turned out to be one of the wildest rides I’ve ever experienced as a videographer. Their original wedding date was set for the end of March, which we had no idea would be the week that most of the state went into a shelter in place order. Only one week before the wedding Emily and I were on the phone discussing the wedding plans as normal, and within just a few days everything changed.
Tyler and Emily decided to go forward with their original wedding date in a private ceremony attended by less than 10 guests in the middle of a completely quiet, downtown Houston. Their day was relaxed, intimate, and romantic. They were then surprised by friends and family who waited outside the chapel to cheer them on with love and support (from 6 feet away). We spent the next hour after the ceremony capturing portraits and being able to have a ton of fun with the creative freedom that comes with not having a wedding schedule to follow.
The original plan was to still have a postponed reception later in August, so everything we had filmed was going to be used in the future highlights video. Unfortunately plans changed yet again, as Tyler and Emily (who is a nurse) recently had to make the tough decision to cancel their August reception. With what only amounted to a couple of hours of filming, I wanted to try my best to still create as full of a highlights video as possible. This video pushed me creatively and forced me to work with what little footage I had (basically almost no b-roll). It was a good reminder that my standards and what I want to create isn’t always going to be in my control, and that what ultimately matters is the bride and the groom getting to relive their day. It’s real, it’s what was experienced and not staged, and I think there is so much beauty in that. Congrats to the Flemings!
Hester Wedding Preview - Plano, TX
Every wedding I get to film these days feels immensely special. Grant and Abigail’s wedding day almost didn’t get to happen, but they chose to move forward and make June 27th their wedding day, come rain or shine. Their wedding was full of so much joy from start to finish, as these two didn’t let their circumstances define their day. I wanted their teaser to show just a glimpse of that joy and ended up choosing a bit of a different song for this one. Can’t wait for you to see it! Congrats to the Hesters!
