Noah and Mallorie started dating in middle school and have spent a third of their lives together. This is the long version of their wedding film, with room for the moments the trailer could not hold.

My brother is getting into video editing and asked me to build the best video editing computer I could for $850. I said yes, as long as I get to make a video about it!
Continue readingBack in March, I shared with you Marie and Drew’s minute-long wedding trailer. While I loved that short film, I feel that it barely did their story justice. The two days that Rachel and I spent adventuring with them, hiking, riding go-karts, crazy dancing, and driving all over Texas, are some of our favorite wedding filmmaking memories.
Their full film shows these two days in fuller clarity and detail that a couple unique and quirky as these two deserve. We felt like we knew Marie and Drew as good friends after spending these two days with them, and I hope that by the end of their film you feel the same.
Getting married on your own terms? Rachel and I would love to film it. Please get it touch.

This wedding was supposed to happen in Austin, Texas. Seriously. My wife Rachel and I met Mallory and Clay as they were planning their nuptials in the Hill Country of Texas. As we learned about their love for adventure that included ice climbing in Colorado and spear fishing in the Caribbean, we began to get the feeling that Austin didn’t really fit the vibe of their wedding.
Thankfully, ACL weekend (think: massive concert in Austin, gobs of people, traffic, and hotels full) was scheduled the same weekend as their wedding date, and Mallory and Clay asked my wife Rachel and I if we had ever been to the (self-proclaimed) “Switzerland of America”: Ouray, Colorado. Plans were changed, flights were booked, and suddenly the big Austin wedding in the Hill Country, became a much smaller and more intimate family wedding in the mountains surrounding Ouray.
The lavish wedding venue was replaced with a cliff overlooking a lake, hotels were traded for a VRBO that fit the entire wedding party including guests, and white water rafting was scheduled as a pre-wedding activity. Mallory and Clay made their wedding weekend their own, and this trailer gives just a hint of the time we spent together.
We left the weekend feeling like family, and we are very excited to share with you their full film soon.
Whether you are getting married in Austin, Colorado, or anywhere else, as long as you are making your wedding day your own, we would love to film it. Please get in touch.
