“Now that I’ve seen my wedding video you created I feel like I relived that day! You captured it in a way that represented us! To the music choices and the way you told a story!

The people that spoke at my wedding mean the world to me and for that I am so thankful you presented it so beautifully. You balanced the heartfelt moments and comical relief effortlessly.

Shawn and I will have a keep sake that will be treasured for years! Thank you for the amazing job!”

A Patel Wedding Story

Austin, Texas is a great place to tie the knot – Rosalie and Zuber did not hesitate to use the city as the background for their wedding. I was fortunate to be able to videotape their monumental experience at the south-of-downtown location called Green Pastures. With massive live oaks, (and like the name refers to) green pastures, and peacocks, the venue paints a colorful setting with powerful accents of white. That Saturday afternoon, Zuber asked Rosalie to change her name to his family’s: Patel. A small but important crowd of friends and family came to witness their exchange of vows.

I created a video for the two that ran through the day at Green Pastures: the bride gets ready while guests arrive, the ceremony takes place, and the reception is catered with speeches from the family. This is followed by the inevitable send off complete with bubbles and the scent of lavender.

With that said, here is the video in its complete form,
an item I will burn to DVD for the couple.

Wedding Videography – The Smiths

It was a pleasure working with the newly wedded Smith family, Alex and Brandon. They tied the knot on October 6th and we captured their wedding event from ceremony to late night reception. As Elisabeth Garlington (the evening’s photographer) had commented, we edited the footage to create an emotional ride from “happy to crying to happy again.” We made this 11 minute video for the couple (see video below) plus all the complete speeches in the Bonus Features of the DVD we provided. Included in this Bonus Feature menu was also the wedding preview, a short “teaser” of the wedding that we edited and uploaded to YouTube a week after the wedding.

Tara & Tony – A Wedding Preview

Tara & Tony exchanged vows on May 12, 2012 in Kerrville, Texas. They began their new life that day at the Notre Dame Catholic Church on Main Street and joined the family in festivities at the River Star Arts & Event Park.

We made the preview video for this beautiful couple and are currently working on two more – an online version that will be 10-15 minutes long and a DVD “long version” that will be approximately 45 minutes to an hour and will include nearly the entire ceremony. Check out the preview:

We wish Tara and Tony a fabulous life together and look forward to seeing them again.
