Brooke and James

Brooke called me a few months back about her October wedding in Salado at the Tenroc Ranch, and then we lost touch with one another for quite some time.

Thankfully, less than one month out from her wedding, Brooke emailed me again IN ALL CAPS hoping beyond hope that I could accommodate her and James for their wedding.

I made a way.

When attracting clients as cool as Brooke and James where there's such a good vibe, i'ts hard to turn 'em down.  It doesn't hurt when they're such a good looking couple as well (photographer: Kevin Curtis)!

Brooke and James met while both working for the Dallas Stars hockey team.  On the ice, while attitudes might flare up during a match, even the coldness of that surface couldn't quench the sparks of romance kindling in the front office!

Brooke and James, thanks for thinking enough of us to trust us to document your wedding.  We look forward to showing you more stunning footage from this (motion) picture perfect day.

Stonegate Mansion | "A Cowboy Hats & Cannoli kind of Wedding" Monica and Mike

Monica and Mike contacted me at the last second to create their wedding video, and I was thankful for their invitation.  Their event was a unique blend of passionate Italian and Latin heritage placed within the easygoing western tempo of Fort Worth.  Cowboy hats, bbq, and cannoli!

  

Check out their ceremony location, the Marty Leonard Chapel. If you're planning a wedding in Fort Worth, this is a place to consider.  Designed by E. Fay Jones (no relation), a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright and the designer of the famous Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas, the Leonard chapel has Jones' signature design which allows bountiful natural light for picture taking.  Even better, it needs little to no extra decorating!

On hand to plan, entertain, and document the event was the all-star team of wedding coordinator Shari Johns, DJ Randal Stout, and photographer Gary Donihoo of f8studio.

There's plenty of B&W Super 8 Wedding film in development, so stay tuned for more in the weeks to come.

Thanks Monica and Mike for finding us!  Your spirit made us high!

Austin Wedding Video at Lakeway Resort and Spa, Alana & Brandon

I finally had the privilege of creating an Austin wedding video for an event by Austin wedding planner Dawn Earley of Your Own Fairy Godmother, and she sent me the right couple!

I've been looking forward to meeting Alana and Brandon all year.  Great, positive kids who were really excited about getting some super 8 wedding footage.  They certainly gave me a pretty event to shoot!  Take a look at some of these amazing photos from photographer Tyler Schmitt.

Alana and Brandon, thanks for having us along to be your Austin Wedding Videographer.  I look forward to showing you more of your wedding video in the future.  We've got lots of beauty to present!

Wynne and Stephen Redux

Wynne and Stephen are a couple of my fav's.  Above you will find a short version of their wedding documentary.  They were married in November 2006, and their wedding is still the talk of the town - literally!!!   MOB Debbe e-mailed me today to let me know that:

"Wynne and Stephen were in Waco for the Baylor game last week and afterwards they went out...Wynne told me that over the course of the night, two of her friends that she had not seen in awhile came up to her and said that they had been watching her wedding video recently!!!!"

So I thought I'd make it easier for everyone searching for where I've tucked it online.  Watch the full length documentary below:

Enjoy!

So cute, I can't stand it

Well, I gave nephew Oliver the front page last week, so I've be a fair uncle and give niece Abby the spotlight now.

Abby loves Elmo, Pooh, and her Uncle Chris.

How cute is this kid?  She'll be 2 next month - they grow so fast.  Here's a tip of the hat to all of y'all who are documenting your family life and a nudge of encouragement for those of you who haven't quite developed a routine to do so.
