Sanjuana and Melesio // Wedding Highlight Film, St Joseph Catholic Church, Bryan Texas

By on January 20, 2014 in College Station Weddings, Videos

When I first met Sanjuana and Melesio over coffee in College Station, they brought Sanjuana’s little niece along.  She was adorable, and insisted that she wanted to be a YouTube star one day.  I told her that she could be featured in their wedding film and she would be famous.  While I would like to say that she stole the show, Sanjuana and Melesio were definitely the stars of the day.

MariachiI always love having enough time to film the bride and the groom together before or after the ceremony; depending on if there if a first look or not.  This time with them always results in some of my favorite shots of the day as they candidly spend time together being happy as husband and wife for the first time.  Sanjuana made me super excited about their wedding because she made room for SEVERAL HOURS of filming the two of them together with the bridal party.  This, combined with their fun and easygoing attitude made for one of my best times filming their day.  Also, they had a mariachi at their reception, which automatically makes any reception ten times cooler.  I even got a photo with him!  If you’re planning on having a mariachi at your wedding, I would LOVE to film it!

I Will And I Do // Cory and Taylor, Butler’s Courtyard, League City Texas

By on December 13, 2013 in Houston Weddings, Videos, Weddings

One of the reasons I love filming weddings is because it is the day when it is most obvious that a couple is in love.  The bride is radiant with joy, the groom is ready to shout with excitement, and they both are struggling to hold back tears of happiness.  Cory and Taylor are the reason I film weddings.  On their wedding day, their love was almost tangible in the air.  There were no lies that day, no hiding their feelings, no doubt about how they felt about one another.  Just radical honesty that he loved her, she loved him, and they were both ready to spend forever together.

They wrote their own vows, and I believe they capture their feelings for one another perfectly.  I encourage you to read them when you watch their highlight film.

Cory //

Taylor, in front of our family and friends gathered here today, I promise to love and cherish you through the good times and the bad.
I promise to encourage your compassion, because that is what makes you unique.
I promise to nurture your dreams, because through them your soul shines.
I promise to help shoulder our challenges, because there is nothing we cannot face together.
I promise you myself whenever you need me or whenever you don’t.
I promise to be faithful and supportive, and to always make our family’s love and happiness my top priority.
You are my best friend, my confidant, and my greatest challenge.
You have filled my heart with love and my life with joy.
Most importantly, you are the love of my life, and I promise to continue to adore you and make you feel special each and every day.
I promise to love you always and forever.

Taylor //

Cory, I truly believe God has made me your soulmate.
There is no one in this world more perfect for me.
I always say that we click and we clash in the right way to make a perfect harmony.
As your best friend, I am the one who will laugh with you and listen when your thoughts need to be heard.
As the one who loves you, I cherish you above all else.
Ephesians 4:2 says, “Be completely humble and gentle, be patient and bearing with one another.”
I vow to do just that.
I promise to love you unconditionally, to stand by your side no matter what, and let you guide me.
First Peter 4:8 says “Above all, love each other deeply.  Because love covers a multitude of sins.”
I may not be perfect and pure, but our love is.
I vow to you on this day because I know the man you are.
I know your intentions.
I know your strengths and your weaknesses.
And I know above all that I love you.
This is why I stand here vowing to love you and only you forever and into eternity.

Glued Together // Courtney and Clayton, Club Giraud, San Antonio Texas

By on December 8, 2013 in San Antonio Weddings, Videos, Weddings

Clayton has always been a pretty goofy guy, and Courtney is his perfect complement.  I met Clayton way back in 2009 through Impact Camp and we had a pretty great bromance right from the start.  There are vivid memories (and pictures on Facebook) of pranks, jokes, and ridiculous dancing at camp.  When he first introduced me to Courtney in 2011, I could immediately see how happy they are together.  Some couples make it easy to tell that they are going to last, and Courtney and Clayton are one of those couples.  That is why I guarantee you’ll understand the title of this film within the first minute.

This is the first wedding I’ve filmed in San Antonio, and the first wedding I filmed with my intern Walter.  Ashley Stineman from Sun7Studios also helped film and make this video extra awesome.  If you’re getting married in San Antonio, I highly recommend Club Giraud.  I hope to return there to film again soon.

The Surprise Wedding // Jessie and Jay, Corrigan Texas

By on November 18, 2013 in Houston Weddings, Videos, Weddings

Have you ever heard of a surprise wedding?  That is what Jessie asked me when I first spoke with her on the phone.  Ideas of filming a couple eloping or one surprising another with a wedding were quickly laid by the wayside, when Jessie explained to me that while she and Jay knew when they were getting married, no one else did.  Everything was planned perfectly, Jessie and Jay had all their friends and family believing they were having a party before just the two of them left for the Caribbean to get married.  Secretly though, they planned to have a friend marry them at the party!

And believe me, this was a cool party!  They converted a VFW Post into a wedding venue, complete with flowers, colors, and a tank.  Well technically, the tank was already at the VFW, but it was still cool!  Everyone was surprised, most of all Jessie’s mom when she saw her in her dress for the first time.  The party was great fun, and even better when Jay walked in with his suit, and Jessie with her dress to say their vows.  I haven’t ever partied at wedding in a VFW before, but I hope this isn’t the last time.

Matt and Rachel // Proposal Film, College Station Texas

By on November 15, 2013 in College Station Weddings, Engagements, Videos, Weddings

The most common question I have received in the past two years is, “Who is going to film your wedding?”  And that is a good question.  I must say though, more importantly, who is going to film my proposal?  Thankfully, my friend Taylor Stanley leaped at the opportunity (on very short notice too), and agreed to film my proposal!  For more details about the wedding, you should check out my betrothed’s website, Who Is Rachel?

Expect to watch my wedding film in a few months!
