Jessica and Logan’s wedding was held at the always amazing Arrowhead Hill, which is a beautiful venue in rural Texas not far from Houston. A lush grove of trees made for the perfect spot for their cinematic portrait session, with just picturesque golden hour lighting.
Also…. can we talk about how amazing this dance party was? Jessica and Logan freaking owned the dance floor, was so much fun documenting this day!
Summer of 2021 brought with it our first wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Having vacationed there in the past, we had always wanted to shoot there, so we were so excited when Dominique contacted us!
The wedding took place at Lost Creek Ranch, which is just about 30 minutes north of downtown Jackson – right next Grand Teton National Park! This made for an absolutely stunning ceremony backdrop (any way of describing it won’t do it justice, so watch the film for yourself!).
We also got the chance to do their rehearsal dinner the day before, which began with a wooden boat river cruise down the Snake River. The entire weekend was just magical. Here’s their 15 minute feature!
and their trailer:
Brooke & Chase | Private Texarkana Ranch
We love weddings in rural countryside! Brooke & Chase’s wedding was held at a private ranch just outside of Texarkana, Texas. An amazingly decorated wedding tent was the perfect spot for their reception, while the ceremony took place in a field near a tall oak tree. And did we mention the toast from the father of the bride? Get your tissues ready!
stay tuned for Megan & John’s feature film!
Megan & John | The Dallas Arboretum
The Dallas Arboretum’s Jonnson Color Garden is such a picturesque location for a wedding ceremony! Megan & John exchanged their vows on a beautiful day in May in front of all of their closest family & friends. Their customized vows were so heart felt – excited to share a snippet of them in this trailer!
stay tuned for Megan & John’s feature film!
Ashley & JJ | Big Sur, California
The day began at a luxurious house on the California coast in Carmel-by-the-Sea (where the famous show Big Little Lies was filmed!). After bridal and groom prep, Ashley & JJ had their first look in the *amazing* backyard garden overlooking the ocean. From there the festivities began just down the road at Point 16, a coastline property with stunning views of the ocean and cliffside. We had so much fun documenting this day!
This wedding was to die for – a hilltop wedding overlooking a gorgeous river bend in the hill country! This made drone shots & bride+groom shots soooo much fun.
LOVE everything about this wedding! The Springs Lodge just may be on of our favorite new venues in Dallas/Fort Worth!
We shot an absolutely gorgeous wedding at The White Sparrow this past May, and are so excited to share it with everyone!
Shannon and Blake were so amazing to work with!
Ashley & Karim recently celebrated their one year anniversary, which has us reminiscing on how absolutely perfect their wedding day was! We actually first met Ashley at her older sister, Cindy’s wedding, where she was maid of honor a few years back! When Ashley and Karim got engaged and decided they wanted to have a destination wedding in Mexico, we were so excited to be a part of their day! It was our first time in Cabo and the incredible beaches and views have us longing to go back!
The ceremony took place with the most breathtaking backdrop of waves crashing on the shore, and the night ended with a huge fireworks display – watch the whole video until the end to see the “epilogue” with some extra firework footage!

One of the biggest compliments we can get as filmmakers is when we have a bride completely plan their wedding around getting to use as their videographer! Sasha contacted us about shooting her wedding to Greg in Orlando, Florida on a certain weekend in May – it turned out that we could only make the following Monday of that weekend work for us, so they planned a weekday wedding!
The wedding was held at Bella Collina – a stunning Tuscan-Inspired venue with beautiful lake views, gorgeous gardens, and some really impressive Italian-style architecture. It was actually our second time to shoot at Bella Collina, and we were so happy to be back! All weekend, we checked the weather forecast obsessively because we really wanted Sasha & Greg to be able to go outside for their video/photo session. It was pretty gray and cloudy when we woke up in Orlando that morning, but the weather held off and the day was beautiful!
Sasha and Greg were two of the sweetest people we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Sasha is originally from China, and Greg is from Russia, so it was a celebration of two cultures coming together, as well as two individuals and their families.
The day after the wedding, we met up with them in an area around where they had one of their first dates, and we shot their love story segment! They told us all about how they met (on an app called Coffee Meets Bagel), what their first impressions of each other were, and what they envision for their future as a married couple. We were sad to say goodbye to these two, but ecstatic to see them again in San Francisco a few months later for Henry & Mia’s wedding – Mia was Sasha’s maid of honor.
Overall, this day was such a blast for us. We got to work with some awesome vendors who made everything run so smooth, we spent the day in one of the most beautiful venue’s we’ve ever seen, and got to document the wedding of a genuinely kind and caring couple who made us feel so welcome in Florida. Congrats again to Sasha and Greg!

When Brad’s brother got engaged to his girlfriend, Emilia, we were so excited! When they asked us for advice on wedding planning, the biggest piece of advice we gave them was have a elope and have an intimate destination wedding! The longer we’ve been in the industry and the more gorgeous destination wedding videos we’ve seen, the more we are love them. We got married almost seven years ago, but if we could do it all over again, we’d definitely elope in a beautiful place as well!
They decided on one of the most gorgeous places we’ve ever seen – Rocky Mountain National Park! The ceremony was simple and sweet, with a gorgeous mountain backdrop, and then they had an super fun intimate reception at a nearby marina. The whole experience was such a blast – witnessing two people we love getting married, being a part of the wedding day (Brad was best man – check out his speech in the video!), and enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
We are really fortunate to be a part of quite a few weddings every year, but this one was a great reminder of how much joy our couple’s family and friends are feeling on the wedding day – we aren’t usually super emotional on wedding days, but this wedding has us in tears multiple times! We’re so glad to have a new sister-in-law – these two are truly a perfect match!

Mia & Henry’s love story shoot at Lands End in San Francisco was such a blast! We love getting to hear couples tell their love story in their own words at a place that holds a special meaning to them – they actually had their second date here! It was our first time visiting Lands End and the views of the Golden Gate Bridge were truly breathtaking! We definitely felt super out of shape hiking around the trails carrying heavy camera gear, but we had a great time and the footage we got was totally worth it! These two have such a genuine and infectious love for each other and we’re so glad we got to be a part of their day! They played this video at their wedding reception and the reaction from the guests was great! We feel so lucky to get to tell such awesome love stories for our couples!

Luli & Victor’s elegant black tie wedding was full of family, joyful laughs, lots of stunning decor, and a packed dance floor! They exchanged vows in the sweetest ceremony at St. Monica’s Catholic Church, then partied the night away at the Anatole Dallas hotel! The lace detailing in Luli’s gorgeous gown was so classic and stunning, just like her! Our favorite part of the night were the heartfelt toasts from the father of the bride and brother of the bride! We are suckers for a good FOB toast, and this one was no exception!

Wow! The amazing views of this beautiful cliffside venue in Big Sur were truly breathtaking! Megan and Andrew were the sweetest couple and we’re so glad they asked us to be a part of their wedding day! We love, love, love getting to travel outside of Texas for weddings – while we think our home state is pretty great, we can’t think of anywhere in Texas that can rival the beauty of Big Sur. This wedding was intimate and featured some gorgeous greenery and lace details. We are already dreaming of shooting another wedding in sunny California! Also, Megan gave us a gift bag with cat toys and treats for our fur child, Winston! How sweet is that? We are so lucky to work with some of the most kind and thoughtful people out there! Congrats again, guys!

The RoseMary Barn is one of the new Dallas/Fort Worth venues, and we really enjoyed our first time shooting there. Robert is a photographer, and we actually first met him when we shot alongside him at one of his groomsman’s weddings back in 2015. And it turns out we had also shot Nichole’s brothers wedding as well, along with several other couples at at the wedding! All in all, we had six total past client pairs at the wedding!
The RoseMary Barn has gorgeous white washed wooden walls, which when paired with beautiful green decor and florals really shines on film 🙂 Despite a ton of rain throughout the day, Robert & Nichole were total troopers – they just grabbed an umbrella and we were still able to get a bunch of great portraits.

Needless to say, we were elated when Hui & Jian contacted us to shoot their wedding in the Virgin Islands! We had never been there before, but had heard that it was incredibly beautiful.
We got there a few days early to get our bearings, and we quickly fell completely head over heels with St. Thomas. The beaches there are just immaculate! We spent a few days getting drone shots sprinkled in with relaxing on the beach, and then Saturday came and we were ready to roll.
MY GOODNESS. The wedding was so gorgeous. We arrived at an oceanside villa on a golf course, and were able to get some spectacular footage of Hui & Jian as they got ready. After the first look, it was off to Lindquist Beach for the ceremony. There’s just something magical about vows with the sound of waves crashing behind you! After that, the reception back at the venue was gorgeous. The decor was definitely on point.
The next day we filmed Hui, Jian and their friends & family take a sailing trip from St. Thomas to St. John and back. If you’re ever in St. Thomas, I can’t stress enough how great of an idea this is! The tour company provided an awesome lunch on board, and then took us to various reefs for snorkeling. Truly just a beautiful and magical place.
