Marriage Is Like A Movie // Marla and Maverick’s Wedding Highlight Film from The Phoenix Ballroom in Waco, Texas

By on February 9, 2014 in Videos, Weddings

Maverick. Marla. Aren’t those the coolest names ever? For real. I like these guys a lot!   Maverick makes videos much like I do, but with a name like that it’s pretty obvious that he specializes in surfing videos or something radical of that nature.  Keeping in mind this is Texas and the only waves we get are two feet high in Corpus Christi, Maverick is limited to filming land surfing, or as the locals call it – skateboarding.

Maverick’s love for film is so great, that their wedding was made completely around that theme.  From a movie slate groom’s cake to the minister that spoke extensively about how their wedding resembled a movie, everything felt like Hollywood.  I guess that made me the paparazzi.  I got to follow them around, film their happiness, and even get ideas for my own wedding.

I feel like you wouldn’t really understand their wedding day without knowing that they are both total goofballs.  Maverick possesses a penchant for theatricality, which is only rivaled by how much Marla encourages it.  For example, when Maverick proposed, he took Marla onto the Baylor campus, set her down on a bench and disappeared around the side of a building.  Five minutes later he emerged, decked out in a children’s plastic suit of armor, riding a REAL white horse to ask her to marry him!  This theatricality is fully visible in their highlight when Maverick states his vows to Marla.

So to sum it up, they are both hilariously goofy, theatrical, film loving people that I love and was very happy to film and hangout with.  I love unique people.

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.

Kelli and Dustin // Wedding Highlight Film // First United Methodist Church, Temple Texas

By on April 26, 2013 in Austin Weddings, Videos, Weddings

I met Dustin while filming a Fightin’ Texas Aggie Football game two years ago.  He was a pretty cool photographer and we bonded over shared excitement of having field passes for football games.  Last year, his fiance Kelli emailed me about filming their wedding in December.  After a few emails back and forth I made the connection of who she was marrying and immediately got even more excited about filming their wedding.

The two of them together make for one of the more goofy and laid back couples that I’ve filmed (which I prefer).  The entire time I filmed Dustin I was laughing at something he did or said to his groomsmen.  Kelli provides a balance to Dustin’s humor while trying to be serious in some moments but totally giving in to his jokes the next.  Their personalities mix perfectly.

Kelli and Dustin were married at The First United Methodist Church, in Temple Texas.  But, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself because they let me film their rehearsal dinner the night before at Peacock River Ranch in Gatesville, Texas.  They really went all out on this rehearsal dinner too – there was dancing, s’mores, amazing food (with queso), and redneck wine glasses.  Their wedding day was amazing as well.  First United Methodist Church is a historic landmark and has some of the best architecture at any wedding I’ve ever seen.  Amazing stained glass with a round auditorium made for a unique ceremony.

It was great meeting these two love birds and getting the chance to tell their story.

Prepare for Takeoff With Allison and David // Texas Wedding Highlight Film at First Presbyterian Church and Houston 1940 Air Terminal Museum

By on December 17, 2012 in Houston Weddings, Videos, Weddings

There are several things you should know about me, I love making films, eating tacos, and flying.  My love for flying came from my dad’s career as a pilot.  For a while growing up I wanted to be a pilot too, but for now I am content with traveling around the country filming weddings.  That love for flying should explain why I was incredibly excited when I heard Allison and David’s plan for their wedding day would include a plane flight and a reception at the Houston 1940 Air Terminal Museum.

Now when you tell most people you’re going to a wedding where the reception will be in an airport terminal you will receive strange looks.  This airport terminal was unlike any I had been in before, I felt like I was on the set of the Rocketeer or another film from that period.  The coolest thing about this wedding by far was how they arrived at the reception though – they flew, kinda.  After the ceremony, the entire wedding party drove to a hangar at the airport and taxi-ed across the runway in the plane to arrive outside the 1940 Air Terminal Museum.

But enough about the awesome airplane theme, on to the couple.  Allison and David were one of the most adventurous couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  They met online, and were engaged when he surprised her while she was in China.  Yes!  He flew halfway around the world to surprise her at her hotel.  This couple is awesome!
