A few months ago Brent and I were privileged to attend CONNECT: A Marriage Retreat for Photographers in Rome, Georgia. There were 42 couples in attendance, including a few videographers like ourselves, and it was a wonderful time for us. Living together 24/7 in a small house, working hard all week and weekend, plus raising a child can be a lot for two people to handle. We want to do it with grace, patience, joy, and kindness. We film weddings and value marriages, and we want our own marriage to flourish.
We came away refreshed, inspired, with some new friends, and most of all, feeling more connected to the Lord and each other!
This little video (not by us- we left our cameras at home!) shows how great it was.
The retreat is happening again this year in late March so if it seems like something you and your spouse could benefit from, check it out!

Palmer & Andrew in HD and Super 8 | Austin, TX Videographer
Brent and I were psyched to film this wedding- Palmer is a lace designer in New York City so I was excited to see her dress, and there was a food truck at the reception, and a pinata at the cocktail hour, and photographers we love to work with, and a mariachi band, and beautiful spring colors...and all of that stuff was fantastic. But what I ended up loving the most was how tender-hearted Palmer and Andrew were to each other. They're just so into each other. When you watch their highlights montage here you'll know what I'm talking about.
On a side note- Palmer's veil is 100+ years old and was worn by her grandmother! Don't the two of them together look like a couple from a bygone era?

Rachel & Jason's Sneak Peek | Austin, TX Videographer
In our pre-wedding correspondence Rachel confessed to me, "I am so afraid I am going to be the one complete dufus bride that you think OMG
there is no good footage of this spaz! I always feel so awkward when I am being
videoed or photographed." After a good chuckle I told her to just be herself, be in the moment, and have fun. I think after you watch this little sneak peek you'll agree that Rachel was certainly not a dufus! There were so many pretty, sweet, fun moments between these two and their lovely daughter Abi. It was a pleasure to be there to capture it all. More to come from this wedding!
(I was so happy when I found this song ["Cereus Bright"] for them . It talks about flowers and the moon, and the wedding was at the Wildflower Center on the night of a supermoon!)
Venue: Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

Rachel said, "Jason and I were so blessed to have you and Brent there with us for our wedding!
We have received such a pouring out of compliments on the sneak peek video- which is truly AMAZING! I have watched it no fewer than 25 times in the few short days since we have received it! I also had so much fun having you around at Sara's house as we got ready..."

Emma & Daniel in HD and Super 8 | Tyler, TX Videographer
I love a backyard wedding. Especially when the backyard has towering trees, open fields dotted with hay bales, a red barn, and a pretty little pond reflecting the fall foliage. This was the setting for Emma and Daniel's nuptials in Whitehouse, Texas. The scenery was amazing, but most of all I enjoyed capturing the happiness and love between these two. As you'll see here in their highlights, they were pretty excited to be getting married. (I've never had to literally run at full speed to keep up with the bride!)

Stacy & Josh's Highlights | Tyler, Texas Videographer
Stacy and I met in elementary school. Eight years ago.
You see, we were both mentors for troubled little girls at Birdwell Elementary, and our play dates would often overlap. (There was much silliness involved- I was happy to find another woman that could be as unabashedly silly with the girls as I was. I was also impressed by Stacy's selflessness- she was so much more gracious and generous than I could hope to be) We saw each other at various events for mentors and mentees over the years since, became friends on Facebook, and the day came when she asked about our videography. She was getting hitched and I was so happy for her!
Filming her wedding to Josh was a true pleasure. These two are, as all their friends say, "better together". I can tell they are very close, very comfortable with each other (Josh is silly too!), and they were all smiles all day. I found myself smiling all during the editing.
Stacy is in charge of booking the musicians for Lago del Pino, which happens to be my favorite date spot with my son. She was able to have the wedding there and it was fantastic. Here's how the day unfolded: first look on the deck overlooking the "lago", ceremony under the gazebo, reception kicked off with a choreographed first dance, then The Gypsy Kings did a set after which a DJ took over, fireworks (that seemed to last forever- in a good way), the wedding party danced in their purple striped socks, and finally Stacy and Josh, amid wish lanterns, sailed off into the night on a jet ski.
I wish you two all the best- I know you have found in each other your perfect match.

Jeri & Gert in Super 8 & HD | Houston, TX Videographer
I adored the way Jeri and Gert's wedding looked- a kiwi green, pink, and orange color palette combined with a hot air balloon theme...luscious flower arrangements, fabulous lighting, even a siloutte artist. And I liked the way it felt too- full of energy and love and togetherness. Congrats to the Dane and the Houstonian!
