Bailey and JR are the kind of people who keep a room lit up with smiles and laughter. We were thrilled to travel from Austin, where we are based, to the Texas foothills north of San Antonio to create this wedding video for such a precious couple. Beyond their absolutely SWEET love for each other, they kept their family and friends entertained at their wedding with multiple surprises--their outdoor sunset ceremony ended with a gospel choir serenading the crowd and guiding them to the location of the dancing reception. Their first dance transitioned from serious to sassy in a heartbeat, and boy, can they dance! Later on that night, JR's family also surprised him in turn with a funny flashmob dance. Here is their entire wedding film, in full:

Ashley Garmon, the wedding photographer, chose a lovely location under the trees for the portraits before the wedding. The soft light coming through the leaves looked beautiful with the bridesmaids' pale green sundresses.

The flowergirls were in similar dresses all in white. What angels!

Their decor included a stag-head theme. Each reception table centerpiece was set with a silhouette of a deer head laser-cut into pine slices.

Talented event designer Tricia Hamil (Viridian Design) even had a deer silhouette pattern made for the lights that projected the antler silhouette onto the dancefloor. Surrounded by wine barrel tables, old-fashioned light bulb chandelieres, live oak canopies, rustic signs, white florals, and warm lighting, the guests were happy to dance the night away and feast on such greatness as the avocado buffet and even sneak inside to watch portions of the Baylor football game between songs.

The Tip-Top band were excellent performers, inviting the bride and groom onto the stage and even letting some guests sing into the mic during some of the songs.

Editor's note:

My favorite shot in the wedding video is the slow-motion shot where J.R. stops to kiss Bailey as they ran through the sparkler exit line. So pretty! -kourtney amelia
