Dottie Wedding Highlights - The Austin Proper Hotel - Austin, TX
“Upon meeting Dottie almost three years ago, his character and charm were immediately visible. Especially when Phyllis and I received a [thank you] note in the mail from the first guy who came over for dinner, and Dottie we knew you were a keeper then!”Sometimes the most vibrant and fun personalities can also be the most tender and sentimental. What I thought was going to be a bubbly and fun video of Dottie and Leah’s day, turned into a real tear jerker once I sat down to edit it. Despite big personalities and throwing a big party, the day was full of little, intimate moments between friends and family. The love these two have for each other, for the Lord, and the love that their community has for them was central throughout the day. (Not to mention the epic Nigerian style reception that topped off the night.) Congrats to the Dotties!

Dottie Wedding Preview - The Austin Proper Hotel - Austin, TX
Although I’ve known Dottie for a few years, I didn’t meet his fiance, Leah, until they hired me to film their wedding day. Not only was Leah so kind and easy to get to know, it took zero effort to understand how these two perfectly compliment each other in their fun, adventurous, life of the party personalities (which is exactly why they needed a wedding teaser to show that off! 😉). Congrats to the Dotties!

Levine Wedding Highlights - Commodore Perry - 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!

Look up the definition of “dream couple” and I’m pretty sure you’ll get a picture of Jake and Jen! I always say that the best videos come from weddings where the couple is just head over heels for each other, and that’s what these two are. Their connection is tangible to anyone around them, and it made their day so easy and lovely to capture because that’s exactly how they are as a couple. Their day was nothing but stylish, effortless, romance. I can’t wait to get back their Super 8 footage and edit their story. Congrats to the Levines!
