As a videographer, I’ve had the honor of capturing some incredible love stories, but Kate and Connor’s wedding at The French Farmhouse was especially meaningful to me. Two years prior, I had filmed Kate’s sister Halle’s wedding, and getting the opportunity to work with this wonderful family again was a true joy. Their warmth, love, and attention to detail made both weddings an absolute pleasure to be a part of. When I arrived at The French Farmhouse, I knew the day would be filled with unforgettable moments, and Kate and Connor did not disappoint.
The French Farmhouse, nestled in the Texas countryside, could easily be mistaken for a setting from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The venue’s elegant French-inspired architecture, sprawling grounds, and enchanting gardens provided a picturesque backdrop that made Kate and Connor’s wedding feel like a storybook romance. It was the perfect match for a couple as timeless and sophisticated as Kate and Connor, who share a love story worthy of such a setting.
Walking through the venue, it felt as though we were transported to another time. The vintage charm, natural beauty, and soft neutral tones of the farmhouse made the perfect canvas for capturing every meaningful moment throughout the day.
Kate and Connor’s shared love for music played a huge role in their relationship, and they incorporated it beautifully into their wedding day. They created a playlist filled with songs that had accompanied them through their relationship—many of which they’d listened to on road trips, lazy mornings, and special occasions. The playlist echoed throughout the day, from the soft tunes during cocktail hour to the upbeat music that had everyone dancing at the reception.
As a videographer, it’s always so fun to shoot when the music has such a personal connection to the couple. I could tell that each song took Kate and Connor back to moments that shaped their journey together, and it added a unique rhythm to the day’s unfolding events.
One of the most moving moments of the day was when Connor surprised Kate with a journal he had been keeping since the night they started dating. He had written down memories, milestones, and reflections on their relationship, making it a beautiful tribute to their love story. Kate’s face lit up as she read through the journal, and it was clear this heartfelt gift meant the world to her. Capturing her reaction on film was one of those moments that remind me why I love what I do—these are the memories that couples will treasure forever.
The energy at the reception was electric, thanks to DJ Marquise Pro, who brought something truly unique to the party. Not only did he mix incredible tracks, but he also played the saxophone along with modern music hits. His seamless transition between spinning tracks and performing live created an exciting, one-of-a-kind atmosphere that kept the dance floor packed all night. It was one of those performances that made the reception feel like a concert, with guests constantly cheering and dancing with unbridled energy.
The floral arrangements by Ever Wild Floral were absolutely breathtaking. The mix of wildflowers and traditional blooms created a look that felt both whimsical and refined. The soft blush tones, lush greenery, and delicate blooms perfectly complemented the French Farmhouse’s natural elegance. From the ceremony arch to the table centerpieces, the florals set a romantic and organic tone for the day, adding a fresh, natural beauty to every shot.
Kristan Ann Artistry ensured that Kate looked radiant from morning to night. Her soft, romantic curls paired with a natural makeup look gave Kate a timeless bridal glow that matched the elegance of the day. The team at Kristan Ann Artistry created a flawless look that was not only camera-ready but also made Kate feel her most beautiful. Every close-up shot of Kate captured her inner and outer beauty, and her joy was evident in every frame.
The flawless execution of Kate and Connor’s wedding day was thanks to the expert planning and coordination by Memory Makers Wed Co. From the ceremony to the reception, every aspect of the day flowed seamlessly. The team made sure everything was perfectly timed, organized, and stress-free for both the couple and the vendors. As a videographer, working with such a professional team always makes my job easier, and it allowed me to focus on capturing the magic of the day without a hitch.
A standout feature of the reception was the inclusion of Magnify Coffee Catering, a mobile coffee cart that kept guests energized throughout the evening. Offering everything from lattes to cappuccinos, the coffee cart was a hit with guests, especially as the evening cooled down. It was the perfect addition, creating cozy moments for guests to chat and enjoy their custom beverages between dances.
Working alongside Corinne Vas Photography was an absolute joy. Corinne’s eye for capturing intimate, emotional moments complemented the work I was doing on video perfectly. She has a natural ability to make couples feel comfortable, and her candid shots of Kate and Connor were simply stunning. It was clear that her photos, like the film I was creating, would reflect the day’s love, laughter, and beauty.
Kate and Connor’s wedding at The French Farmhouse was more than just a beautiful event—it was a day filled with personal touches, deep emotion, and unforgettable moments. From the heartfelt journal Connor gifted Kate to their thoughtfully curated Spotify playlist, every detail reflected their unique love story. Their wedding was a true testament to the bond they share, and it was a privilege to capture such meaningful memories for them. Having filmed her sister Halle’s wedding two years prior, it was an even greater honor to be part of this family’s story once again.
