Kirkpatrick Super 8 Wedding Highlights - Villa Antonia - 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!

Graff Wedding Highlights - Crystal Ballroom at the Rice - Houston, TX
One of my greatest joys as a filmmaker is getting to follow my couples lives after their weddings, especially when I get to reunite with them to film a family member’s wedding. Which is why I was so thrilled when Julia, the little sister of one of my past brides, reached out to me about her own wedding day. Julia and Kevin are high school sweethearts who had been together for years, and though I had been around them on her sister’s wedding day, I had no idea that we would have the pleasure of crossing paths again. Kevin and Julia are the epitome of kind, fun, and outgoing. Their large friend group is such a testament to who they are and how well they love people. Their wedding day was so effortless and laid back, and Kevin wins all the points for being the groom up for anything during our portrait time. We had so much fun strolling downtown Houston, and I could not stop geeking out as these two lit up the camera. I can’t wait to see where all of the Graffs, Flemings, and Heisers go from here!

Crisman Wedding Highlights - Wish Well House - Georgetown, TX
“Nine years down, forever to go honey.” There’s something so sweet about Bobby and Ashley together, that it was only natural their video would be driven by that same tender feel. As soon as I heard their personal, private vows, I knew they would be the emotional driving force to their story. Their day was full of style, intimate moments, and more pizza references than I’ve ever heard on a wedding day. More importantly, they were surrounded by their closest friends and family in a day that truly felt like it celebrated their love and commitment to each other. Cheers to the Crismans!

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!
