Matt & Lauren / Wedding Preview

Matt & Lauren / June 9th, 2018

"I don't know what the future holds, but I hope and pray it looks a lot like today."

After seeing a film I made at LHLE in Missouri in 2016 (shoutout to my friends Caleb & Kim Willis!), Lauren reached out to me to travel back to St. Clair for her wedding this June. I'm so grateful I was able to travel to meet and work with her and Matt to create their stunning wedding preview!

Through all the anticipation, Lauren and Matt Horton made wedding day look easy. I was continually impressed with how easygoing everyone was- the day was truly about celebrating Lauren and Matt’s relationship and adding a new member to each family. The only family member missing was the couple’s dog Josie, but she did get a few mentions during the reception toasts! Check out Lauren and Matt’s preview film- congrats to the Hortons!

Kindling Arts Festival 2018

Kindling Arts Festival 2018 / August 24-26th, 2018

Artists that yearn to push the boundaries are worthy of celebrating. I'm pumped to show you this promo I created alongside the people of the Kindling Arts Festival, featuring SO much local talent. The 2018 festival is the inaugural run of the event, and I was so excited when their founders Jessika and Daniel reached out to me to create their building-tour promo video. Several venues throughout the Wedgewood-Houston area of Nashville, including Track One (as seen in our promo) and AbrasiveMedia, are hosting performances by Suspended Gravity, Laura Peek, Madeleine Hicks' Potty Mouth, Numinous Flux Dance Company, and so many more! 

Shoutout to Alanna Royale, who allowed us to use her track "Big Time Me" for this video. Just another nod to talented folks in Nashville. Thanks for checking out the promo!

Tyler & Michelle / Wedding Preview

Tyler & Michelle / May 27th, 2018

From the moment I met Michelle and Tyler, I knew their wedding would be a truly special celebration of their long love story. Michelle first contacted me nearly two years ago to inquire about having me film her wedding at Cedarwood, which is always an honor. Once I met with them and heard about all of the wonderful plans they'd made for the traditional Jewish ceremony and reception party, my anticipation only grew.

The word of the day, “finally”, was on everyone’s mind as Michelle and Tyler had made it to the day that they, along with friends and family, had been dreaming about for years. I’m so grateful for their easy spirit and connection to each other that made capturing this day effortless! This being the first traditional Jewish wedding I've filmed, I was so excited to capture their special Ketubah ceremony and see the Hora at the reception, and I was certainly not disappointed.

Take a step into the Cobb's classic wedding day by watching their wedding preview right now!

Jesse & Lily / May 26th, 2018

When Jesse and Lily bought their home just outside of Nashville in 2016, they knew it would be the perfect place to celebrate their dream wedding, right in their own backyard! They worked and planned every last detail themselves over those two years, along with the help of so many friends and their two pups.

Once the time came, the house was wedding central- so many hands were there to prepare the food the Jesse and Lily cooked, coordinate the decorations around the backyard, set up the chairs and the tent, and organize the dance floor on the brick porch the two built themselves. Jesse and Lily declared their love for each other in the simple ceremony and danced the asses off at their reception in the best way!

Now, J & L's wedding preview is here to show you and everyone that all of their hard work was completely worth it. Take a look at their day now!

Anthony & Samantha / Wedding Preview

Anthony & Samantha / May 20, 2018

"Samantha Terri Lynn Springer, there is still a part of me today that can't believe I'm the one who gets to marry you." "Anthony, when I sat down to write my vows, I didn't know what I was going to say. What do you say to the man that deserves to hear all the right things?"

Anthony and Samantha's vows to each other on their wedding day told their love story so effortlessly. From their first look with each other to their sparkler sendoff, they didn't let nerves or stress get in the way of their connection to each other and the joy of a wedding day. I'm so thankful for my friends, Michelle and Philip Noel, for sending them my way and their trust to make the first day of their marriage into this wedding preview. Congratulations on your love, friends!
