Ah, Young Love!

Adorable Julia & J.T. had a very sweet family wedding to celebrate the start of their lives together. Though I am based in Houston, this wedding took place in the DFW area. So if you really like my work but aren't getting married in Houston, don't worry. Calico Wedding Videos is available to travel & preserve your wedding memory!

Wedding at the Houston Arboretum

Last year I posted about wanting to do a wedding at the Houston Arboretum, and on March 19th, I had the pleasure of attending the French-Clements wedding at that very location! Andrea & Clay said their vows in an intimate ceremony on the deck overlooking the pond & meadow. I hope you enjoy these highlights of the celebration, which was expertly coordinated by The Party Architects.

Wedding Dance

Are you anxious about dancing at your wedding? Allow me to recommend fabulous private ballroom dance instruction with The Dance Whisperer. My husband & I have been enjoying lessons with Rebecca since Valentine's Day and it's really fun. We wanted to become comfortable enough to dance socially, and we are well on our way. The private studio & expert instruction have certainly put us at ease. We feel we will be ready to "trip the light fantastic" in no time!

Promotional Videos

I do more than just weddings! I also make promotional videos, commercials, PSAs for charities, dance events, instructional videos, personal video editing, and more. This short sample is a promo video for the website of a henna artist I am acquainted with. If you haven't ever experienced henna, I highly recommend it. Henna, or mehndi, is a traditional element in the wedding festivities of many cultures, and is a fun and relaxing way to spend time with girlfriends. The natural dyes color the skin for only 1 - 2 weeks, and the application isn't much different from icing a cake.

Another enjoyable way to spend time with girlfriends is to take up belly dance! I have been dancing for over ten years, and the connections I have developed sometimes cross over into my video work. Here is another example of a promotional web video I have recently created for 3rd Coast Tribal Belly Dance Festival.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like to discuss what I can make for you!

A Holiday Wedding

The Christmas season is now even more special for the Ramirez family since Pedro & Luisa celebrated their wedding on December 18th!

Play Your Video at Your Reception

With technology available today, it is possible for a skilled wedding filmmaker to deliver same-day edit service. You can have an artfully prepared video of your wedding day screened at your wedding reception, even available as favors for your guests to take home on DVD.

It was my pleasure to create and screen this same-day edit video at Shahin & Noorddin's reception this past weekend.

An Affair to Remember

Stephanie & Timo were married December 11th, 2010 in the home of a family friend. The elegant ceremony was followed by an intimate reception at table seven. The couple was married by the bride's grandfather, and he used the lyrics for the song "Glory of Love" as part of his message of wisdom to the bride and groom.
