Kirkpatrick Super 8 Wedding Highlights - Jonestown, TX
“Sometimes I find myself thinking how wonderful it is to love someone at all, but how wonderful it is to be able to love you.” If Neil and Hailey’s emotional vows don’t get you crying, then laughing along with their infectious personalities just might be the thing that does. They are those warm, outgoing, life of the party people who you just want to be best friends with. They met and fell in love while working for an ad agency together in New York (which I chose the first song of the video as a nod to), and they have a knack for style and creativity. I was so thrilled when they wanted to have their film shot entirely in Super 8, and as soon as I heard their incredible vows, I knew I needed to incorporate them into the video. Something new that I also tried was using stock footage. I wasn’t sure if it would be cheesy, but I had a vision of something really poetic that matched the vows that Neil wrote for Hailey. I also specifically wanted to use footage of New York since that was the start of their relationship adventure. I’m so grateful for Neil and Hailey’s trust in me and their entire vendor team. It was truly a dream to be a part of. Cheers to the Kirkpatricks!

Hayden & Co. Events Styled Shoot - Austin, TX
I can’t stop obsessing over every detail of this day! 😍 When Kay of Hayden & Co. Events asked if I wanted to participate in this fun and flirty passion project with a dream vendor team, I knew I couldn’t say no! Wedding days are amazing, but they don’t always lend themselves to getting to put forth our most creative efforts. This day was all about exploring ideas, collaboration, and ultimately getting to go all out with our creative talents. It was such a joy to work with this team, and here’s hoping to see more of this in 2024!

Sumell Wedding Preview - Austin, TX
Let’s talk about wedding drama, shall we? In all my years of doing weddings, I’m not sure I’ve seen anything as dramatic as what happened on Brooke and Mark’s day. After months of heat and no rain at all, a storm rolled in like no other and threatened to ruin Brooke’s dream of an intimate, Italian-inspired, outdoor garden wedding. The torrential downpour lasted only ten minutes, but it was enough to seemingly ruin all hopes of having that dream garden reception. Despite having every reason to be upset over the events of the day, Brooke was so calm and didn’t let the storm rain on her parade. Once the storm passed, Kristin Catter and her events team swooped in to rescue the day, drying off every table, glass, and chair to make sure that Brooke’s dream garden reception would still happen. Not only did it still happen, but it was one of the most stunning wedding receptions I’ve ever seen, with the most perfect pink sunset to top it off. If rain on the wedding day is good luck, then Brooke and Mark are the luckiest. Congrats to the Sumells!
