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!

Coots Wedding Highlights - Austin, TX
Noah and Abigail have one of the sweetest love stories I’ve had the privilege of capturing. Together since they were 16 and 14 years old, they almost don’t even know what life was like without each other. When Noah reached out to me shortly before his wedding date, I was incredibly honored to find out that he wanted to surprise his fiancé, Abigail, by hiring me. She had loved a video I’d done for a friend of theirs, and Noah, being the sweetest future husband in the world, wanted to do anything he could to make sure his bride had the wedding that she had been dreaming of for ten years.
Everything about their wedding day was incredibly emotional and sentimental. From the support of their friends and family who have watched these two grow together from kids into adulthood, down to the intimate, personal vows that left everyone in tears. The love that these two have for each other was tangible throughout the entire day in a way that I have rarely seen. Ten years together is just a drop in the bucket for these two, who are so clearly made for each other. Congrats to the Coots!

Jones Wedding Preview - Austin, TX
There’s a really fun secret about this teaser that you can’t gather from just watching it on Vimeo. I’d had this idea for a while of creating a teaser that started and stopped in such a way that the music and visuals would be able to play a perfect loop, where you can’t tell where the video starts and stops. (Insert some cheesy metaphor about love being infinite and never stopping.) Then I meet Madeline and Jared, two of the coolest people on the planet and extremely creative (Jared designed all of the invites and signage for the wedding). Their wedding was so inspiring and we had TONS of amazing footage to choose from. Editing this was such a blast and I truly can’t wait to share more. Congrats to the Joneses!
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!
