Theo Wedding Highlights - Laguna Gloria - Austin, TX
Jonathan and Michelle are two of the sweetest, most sincere people I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming. There was something so gentle and calming about their love for each other, and I couldn't get over the way these two look at each other. Their love was truly tangible throughout the whole day. One of my favorite wedding moments I’ve ever seen was when Jonathan even surprised Michelle with a mini “last date” with a charcuterie board before the ceremony. Their wedding was sweet and personal, filled with emotion, and ended with the most fun and joy on the dance floor. Congrats to the Theos!

Look up the definition of the word “fun” and Anna’s picture should be right next to it! Anna and Curtis’ wedding day was full of joy, laughter, an epic dance floor, and loads of confetti! These two are the absolute sweetest, and every aspect of their day reflected what an absolute celebration it was to see these two get married. Congrats to the Nixes!
Rydin Wedding Highlights - The Crown Jewel Private Estate - Austin, TX
In my eight years of filming weddings, I can honestly say that I’ve never had a wedding experience quite like Eric and Manon’s! The first, and most obvious reason, is that they wanted their ENTIRE wedding shot on Super 8 film. Normally I would only shoot a couple of rolls on a wedding day, but knowing that this was the primary medium for capturing the day, we decided to go big (I went through 18 rolls of film in one day!).
The second reason is that Eric and Manon’s day was so intimate and personal in a way that I’ve never seen before. They rented a stunning house off of Lake Austin for thirteen of their closest friends and family to spend a weekend of celebration, with incredible food and ten course meals provided by Chef Danny Kievit, and wine pairings chosen by the groom (who happens to be a fantastic sommelier!). The entire weekend centered around just being together and experiencing each other’s presence, taking in some of the best things life has to offer.
But the highlight of it all was the way that Eric and Manon’s friends and family made me and the other vendors feel right at home, as though we were also guests at this fabulous party. Maybe it was the sound of the Super 8 camera that made people feel so comfortable in approaching me, but I spent most of the day talking with and making friends with everyone in attendance. I spent time with the chef, the coordinator, the servers, drinking the leftover wine and being made to feel like I was part of the celebration. It was a truly one of a kind experience, and one that I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of. Congrats to the Rydins!

Bays Wedding Preview - Jack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe - San Antonio, TX
Have you ever heard of someone being surprised by their own wedding venue on their wedding day? Since Jordan knew pretty quickly that Jake was the one, she went ahead and booked their wedding venue before he even put a ring on her finger. (Talk about trust!) She then surprised him on their wedding day by revealing that their venue was actually attached to a Western art museum! During cocktail hour, they were able to sneak away for a private tour where they got to explore and take in all of the southwestern art and history. It was a beautiful, quiet moment for just the two of them, in the middle of the biggest day of their lives. Jordan and Jake, may you always find the quiet, special moments in the middle of the busyness. Congrats to the Bays!
