Brinson-Canales Wedding Highlights - Puerto Morelos, MX
Where do you even start with a friendship that goes back over 20 years now? For starters, I can tell you that we can blame this entire relationship on the movie “Little Black Book”. If it wasn’t for Brittany Murphy’s role as a talk show producer, inspiring Kristy to also one day become a producer, we may not even be here.
Kristy and I have been friends since freshman year of high school, riding the bus together every day and competing in speech & debate. She is fun, witty, beautiful, talented, a successful production coordinator out in LA (have you watched the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?), and most importantly, half Mexican. So a wedding in Mexico called her name. And then there was Chris. The cute kickball player who worked for Jimmy Kimmel, had the coolest sunglasses collection, was basically best friends with Jeff Goldblum, and refused to cave to Kristy’s cheesy sense of humor (even though we all know he secretly loves it). In the words of our teenage hero Hilary Duff, this relationship is what dreams are made of. Kristy, I te amo you with all my heart. Thank you for giving all of your friends the gift of an amazing weekend celebrating you two in Mexico. And thank you for putting up with me forcing my camera upon you. Happy one year anniversary!
Whitney Wedding Highlights - Kyle, TX
“But how much I love you gives me solace in knowing that there has to be a heaven, because I don’t have enough love for you for just a lifetime. I need forever.” Tory and Logan’s rainy, sentimental wedding day was something straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel. These two high school sweethearts had the most perfectly sweet, tearful private vows, that I immediately knew had to be the center of their story. Despite the rain delays during their ceremony, the day was still romantic and dreamy, with an extra sweet reception to top off the night. The team was led by Maxwell + Gray, with photos by Bay Reed and stunning white florals from Jo.An Florals. It was the sweetest day for the sweetest couple. Congrats to the Whitneys!

Levine Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“To love one who loves you, to admire one who admires you, to respect one who respects you is the exceeding limit of human joy. It’s stealing fire from heaven, and that is something that you two have done.”
It’s rare that I get to capture couples with the kind of tangible connection and chemistry that Jake and Jen have with each other. Their love is written all over their faces, their smiles, and the way they look at each other like nothing else in the world matters. Their day was romantic, dreamy, and filled with the creative and classy vibes that only the Commodore Perry could conjure up. The Pearl Events team led the stunning day alongside so many other talented vendors, Ida Mayes Florals and Whit McGuire photography.
It was also a creative joy to get to shoot Super 8 alongside digital. Jen is a graphic designer, which is always so flattering whenever I’m trusted by another creative to capture their day. She had a vision for her day and how she wanted it to be captured in photo and video, and I loved that she wanted to incorporate film into that.
The ceremony was poetic, sentimental, and sprinkled with the perfect amount of humor and tenderness. The toasts were moving and brought tears to everyone’s eyes. And the reception was led by the Nightowls who capped off the night with an epic dance party. It was a night and a love for the ages. Congrats to the Levines!

Saheb-Wysocki Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“Through my life, I’ve made right decisions and I’ve made wrong ones. But the best choices that I’ve made were the ones that always led me back to you.” David and Autumn have that classic friends to lovers romance story that’s straight out of a rom com. Having been together since high school, they wanted to keep their wedding day sweet, simple, and stress free. That included wanting just a simple Super 8 video (my favorite medium to shoot these days). They spent the morning of the wedding together before heading to the ceremony, where they were surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their love was so evident throughout the day in the way these two look at each other and the tenderness they show toward one another. Cheers to the Saheb-Wysockis!
