We just love the beauty, energy, and love that was infused throughout Angela and BJ's wedding day. We captured the affair in HD and vintage Super 8, and put together this super fun highlights montage (which happens to have one of my favorite endings ever.) As you can see, these two are perfect for each other, and along with their daughter Addy (and another one on the way) they make a happy new family!
Angela said, "We received our videos and it's all AWESOME!!! Loved everything about it. Thank you again for all you guys did for our wedding. It was so much better than I could have imagined!! We are so grateful for the memories you've preserved for us forever :)"

10 Years of Wedding Videography: Top 10 Facepalm Moments
When you've filmed weddings for 10 years, you've seen a few things that just make you shake your head in wonder. Here are some of our favorites, in no particular order:
10. When the DJ emceed a 20 minute long anniversary dance. The couple that had been married for 50 years nearly died from exhaustion.
9. When the preacher, during the ceremony, said "There's no place for flannel pajamas in a marriage" and also "I have no idea where you go on a date if you don't have money."
8. When the 60-something-year-old groom fainted twice during the ceremony with his young mail order Ukrainian bride.
7. When Brent had to put the ring back on the groom's finger after our ring shot because he was too drunk to do it himself. The same groom also winked at Vanessa during the getaway and said "Call me."
6. When the groom's brother toasted the happy couple by saying "It's good to have a sister-in-law back in the family."
5. When the bride ran up and down the getaway line throwing up her dress and shouting "Look at my granny panties!!"
4. When Vanessa got nervous before one of her early weddings and threw up in the bushes along the aisle.
3. When the bride and groom had to use our footage as evidence in court.
2. When the groomsmen were praying for the groom before the ceremony, and a groomsman accidentally used the ex-girlfriend's name.
1. When Vanessa squatted on the dance floor to get a shot and her pants ripped straight up the middle seam in the back.

Courtney & Shane's Wedding Highlights | East TX Videographer
Courtney and Shane had a fun, personal wedding day that was a joy to capture. We started out at Courtney's vacation ranch house where the ladies got ready, and then we all rode a mile in golf carts to a small lake where the first look took place. The portrait session with these two was a breeze- all we had to do was train our cameras on them while they flirted, laughed, kissed, and dipped, all without our direction. I remember at one point Brent and I were cruising through the colorful woods, with the dappled sun and crisp air on our faces, and I was just so especially in love with my job.
After the formals we headed to the church for the beautiful ceremony (check out that purple uplighting on the altar- love it!) But before the ceremony the bride and groom exchanged letters, which you will hear portions of in their highlights here.The reception followed at Centaur Arabian Farms, where we have wanted to film for a long time now. It did not disappoint- the café lights, s'mores bar, fire pit, and beautiful grounds all made for such a cozy atmosphere (which was only enhanced by the deluge of rain.)
Courtney and Shane have lived in exotic locales (she lived in China for a while, they got engaged in Thailand) and now they are settling in College Station to work in college ministry. Many blessings on their new life together!

Erika & Greg's Wedding Highlights Video | East TX Videographer
"On a day only coupled with terms like 'dream day' and 'fairy tale', I stand in front of you wanting to make a very realistic promise...I promise I will wake up every day and choose you..." So begin the vows that Greg read to Erika during their first look. It's evident through their words that they truly value and need one another, and that their lives were changed for the better when they met. Amidst the beautiful scenery of sun-bathed fall foliage, their wedding day unfolded as a fairy tale. Witness some of it here in their highlights.
Erika said, "We just finished watching the video and we are both in tears! Everything was perfect!You captured who we are and what we are all about! Music was awesome! Loved every song! Thank you again for this. You guys are truly gifted."
Venue: El Rancho Verde, Henderson

Laura & Stephen's Wedding Highlights | Nacogdoches, TX Videographer
Laura and Stephen's wedding was such a classic, timeless affair. With the ceremony in Laura's quaint childhood church and the reception at her parent's gorgeous newly built home, it exuded Southern charm and hospitality, while also maintaining a modern edge (I love how sculptural her dress is!) Laura told me she wanted it to feel like a sophisticated dinner party, and it most certainly did, albeit one with a healthy dose of dancing and singing. The bride and groom make such a perfect couple, and I wish them many blessings as they build their new life in New York City!
Laura said, "...just finished watching the entire video for the second time. Everything is perfect! Thank you for sharing your gift with us and documenting our special day! We've been laughing and crying and laughing and rewinding... I love the packaging too! Y'all are amazing!...Love it all. Thank you!!"
