Jon + Ashley

It's not every day that your sister gets married. I was so honored to be able to stand beside her and celebrate this love. She also wanted me give her a wedding video, so I enlisted a few of my go-to videographers to step in and capture the day. In preparing the day, Jon was weary of being on camera and getting too vulnerable so I suggested they do a private vow exchange during the first look. It allowed them to have a moment to look each other and soak in the meaning of the day.

Branson + Logan

This family is full of eloquent writers, in 2016 I captured Christy + Brady's Wedding and man-oh-man Brady had me tearing up when he wrote his vows as a poem. Well Branson joined this family well prepared because the way he expresses his love for Logan is nothing short of perfect. 

The Springs Events made for the best backdrop for this brunch wedding. Oh fun fact, Logan and her siblings could be the next Hanson.

Rich + Kaylyn | Styled Shoot + Proposal

When Rich called me to ask if I’d help him propose, I was stoked! We decided to do a styled commercial shoot that would end in a proposal. The tough part was keeping Kaylyn from getting suspicious, because she is also a videographer I had to think of why I would be asking her to be a model. Inspired by perfume commercials, I came up with a black and white aesthetic and a sensual tone. I told each of them to prepare a declaration of love that I could use as the script for the video - that’s how I got them to wear a mic! We teamed up with photographer Melissa Marshall to help the vision come to life. The shoot was magical and of course, Kaylyn said yes!

Jac + Chelsea

After ten years together, Jac and Chelsea wanted to start a new chapter by going on an adventure. They kicked off a three week Scottish road trip by exchanging vows a few hours north of Glasgow. Along with my best friend and the fantastic photographer, Melissa Marshall, we stood by (in the rain) to capture it, so they had something to treasure and share with their families.
