Chris and Courtney actually met at the gym in 2012, and they spent four years building a beautiful friendship before their love story “officially” began. They eventually realized that they were perfect for one another - and after that, there was no going back. Their love grew sweet and steady, and on a quiet night on the back porch, looking at the stars, Chris asked Courtney to be his forever.
Mint Springs Farm was the perfect summer backdrop for this sweet couple to begin their forever. Their wedding day was full to the brim with joy, and their ceremony was a special tribute to their faith and their love for one another. We loved watching this couple’s family and friends celebrate them - it’s clear that these two are so loved by the people surrounding them. It was a beautiful day, and we’re so glad we got to play a part in it!
Looking back on their wedding, Courtney says her favorite moment was her first look with Chris. She loved her dress, and she couldn’t wait for her new husband to share that moment with her, especially after spending the morning getting ready with her bridal party and anticipating the happy moments ahead! The couple also loved tearing up the dance floor with their family and friends. We love to watch kids dance at a wedding, and this was no exception! Thanks for choosing us to capture your special day, Courtney and Chris. We loved working with y’all, and we wish you all the best in the years to come!
Linda and Rob met through mutual friends, both of whom ended up in their wedding party. But wait - we’re getting ahead of ourselves. In college, close friends Kelley and Steven suggested that Rob and Linda should meet. They did, and they were instantly smitten. They spent the next couple of years falling in love, and when Linda planned a girls’ trip to Texas wine country, Rob spotted the perfect opportunity. He sneakily coordinated a “special tour” with the manager of the final winery stop, and as Linda walked through the vineyard, Rob was waiting on one knee. She was totally shocked, and totally sure that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with this man. After she said yes, they walked out to a celebration with both of their families!
Rob and Linda wanted the storybook feel of getting married in a church, but they also wanted a rustic, open space to celebrate with friends at their reception. Enter Marathon Music Works, the best of both worlds. Their day was both modern and historic, and perfectly “them.” More than anything else, the happy couple just wanted a day filled with joy and to be surrounded by their closest friends and family, and this wedding certainly delivered - it was a blast!
We loved working with Rob and Linda to create a wedding video that they’ll cherish for the rest of their lives. Linda was kind enough to say this about their wedding day: “Matt is positive, encouraging, and calm! We felt so comfortable, and never noticed we were being filmed. Whenever something sweet or fun happens, Matt captures every second, but you wouldn’t notice him unless you looked for him. His laid-back and kind personality makes him perfect to be around on the wedding day.” Cheers to you, Rob and Linda! Wishing you two many, many happy years together.
Sharon and Thomas met at work in the heart of New York City, and they bonded over their love of Central Park. Their relationship blossomed as they walked those pathways through so many seasons, so it was only right that Thomas proposed on one of their favorite hills in the middle of the park. After Sharon said yes, he suggested that they celebrate with a drink at The Boathouse. She walked in to see her family waiting there for her! Thomas had flown them into the city to celebrate - the perfect ending to a beautiful proposal.
Sharon and Thomas wanted a classic wedding that didn’t feel fussy, and they wanted to leave plenty of room for fun! The Benton Chapel was the perfect backdrop for a special ceremony that the couple truly made their own, all while honoring timeless traditions. The outpouring of love from their families was something special, and we loved getting a front row seat to their “I do”s - and to their dance moves at the reception!
Sharon recently emailed us to say, “During wedding planning, someone told me that despite being surrounded by all your loved ones on your wedding day, the people you actually spend the most time with (other than each other) are the photographer and videographer. We were super happy to spend the day with you and are thrilled with the excellent job you did.” We loved spending the day with you, too, Sharon and Thomas! It was a blast to capture all the highlights from your special day, and we hope you’ll love looking back on your wedding for years and years.

Kristin and Jody met at a work training event, and an ordinary day turned into a life-changing one. They quickly became a couple in love, and during a trip to Napa for Kristin’s birthday, Jody got down on one day and gave her the best gift of all - the start of a lifetime together. Oh, and also a gorgeous ring.
The happy couple’s wedding day was classically elegant and absolutely gorgeous. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center was a perfect venue for a traditional wedding, and Kristin and Jody selected beautiful greenery and lighting that added the perfect touch. Looking back on their day, they both remember the “firsts” - their first look together was sweet and tender as they read letters to one another, and the first moment they entered the reception hall, they were overwhelmed by the love and celebratory spirit in the room.
We were honored to capture such a stunning wedding day on film, and we know Kristin and Jody will look back on it as just the beginning of a wonderful life together. They were so kind, and we wish them so much happiness in the years ahead.
