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!
Dodson Wedding Highlights - Dripping Springs, TX
“Aiden, thank you for being the man you are, and the gentleman my Lily was looking for.” I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a pure, sweet love from two people. Aiden and Lily began dating in high school, and the love they showed for each other on their wedding day felt just as sweet as if they were kids dating for the first time all over again. They chose New Year’s Eve (one of Aiden’s favorite holidays) as the perfect time to celebrate with their friends and family, many of whom had been there to watch them grow up together. I knew with a NYE wedding that there would be some fun editing opportunities, and I wanted to lean into the excitement of the countdown to also count down the start of their story. And when Aiden told me that he loved “Auld Lang Syne”, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into the video somehow. I love how sweet and tender this video ends, in a way that also reflects their relationship.
The day consisted of the dream team of Kristin Catter Events, Alyssa Jarae Photography, Premier Entertainment, Josh Klaus, and Poppy Florals, all set at the stunning Sacred Oaks at Camp Lucy. Congrats to the Dodsons!

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!

Longoria-Hicks Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
“Natalie, you have been the sun of joy, care, and endurance lighting my path in a world sometimes uncertain. With you I know the path.” Bobby and Natalie’s day was sentimental and fun, surrounded by friends, family, and tons of wildflowers and butterflies, courtesy of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. These two have such a sweet and tender relationship, as evidenced by their emotional private vows. Their friend group was such a pivotal part of their day, and you could tell from the way people spoke of them that these two just fit together so well. Their dream vendor team included Kristin Catter Events, Eryn Chandler Photography, Wild Bunches Florals, and they even had their own personal friend, Sterling from Dart Collective, DJ the night away. Congrats to the Longoria-Hicks!
