Bolner Wedding Teaser - The St. Anthony Hotel - San Antonio, TX
Decided I wanted to start the week off right with a preview of the Bolner wedding! (Or should I say, Bolner Fiesta?) I’m not sure I’ve ever shot such a fun couple with the most fun friend group. Madeline and Andrew are the life of the party and this party was tough to beat! Cheers to the Bolners!

Dodds Wedding Highlights - San Antonio Country Club - San Antonio, TX
It only takes a few minutes around Lane and Natalie to see that they’re the type of couple that’s going to keep each other laughing for years to come. Despite the rainy weather (which I truthfully still find beautiful!), they kept each other smiling and had the best attitudes throughout the day. There was such a beautiful atmosphere of love and support from their friends and family, and you could tell at the end of the day that these two complement each other so well. The night ended with an epic dance party, and I think I could’ve watched these two on the dance floor all night! Congrats to the Dodds!

Bays Wedding Highlights - Jack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe - San Antonio, TX
When I saw Jordan on her wedding day, one of the first things she told me was that I looked pretty. On HER wedding day, she was making me feel so special and seen. That’s the type of person and friend Jordan is to others, and part of the reason I know Jake is so special too. Their relationship formed from online chats while Jake was stationed overseas in the military, and they quickly fell in love when they finally met in person. And it totally makes sense. They are both passionate, caring people who stand up for what they believe in, and fight for what they believe is right.
When I heard Jordan’s stunning poem that she had written as part of her vows, I immediately knew that it needed to be incorporated into their video in some special way. Getting the chance to stretch some creative muscles and try to create a moment in their video that was slow and beautiful and poetic was so rewarding. Jordan and Jake’s love for each other just feels so authentic and deep, I loved the chance to be a part of their day. Congrats to the Bays!

Cicconetti Wedding Highlights - Contigo Ranch - Fredericksburg, TX
I always say that I want to capture couples authentically, that I don’t want their video to feel overly produced or like it doesn’t fit the actual couple. And I think that too often wedding days become about “the wedding”, and not the commitment that’s being made to each other. This was absolutely not the case for Janet and Mario, who are the one of the most authentic, genuine couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming. While their day was full of plans pivoting, they remained joyful and focused on the reason they were there: not for some instagram worthy wedding, but to get married and promise their lives to each other at the end of the day.
These two are so much fun and full of personality (or “Cicconetti spirit”, as Mario would say), that I’m pretty sure the entire day I kept thinking about how I was possibly going to fit everything into one video! It was a day filled with wild humor, light heartedness, deeply tender moments, and some all out craziness on the dance floor. I’m not sure I’ve had a wedding packed with so many levels of emotion in one day, but it for sure created a special place in my heart for these two, and I think one of the best love stories I’ve ever captured! Congrats to the Cicconettis!
