A Dream Team Wedding: Rylan and Isaiah’s Timeless Celebration
As a videographer, I have the honor of capturing some truly unforgettable moments, and Rylan and Isaiah’s wedding was no exception. Their day felt like it came straight out of Pride and Prejudice, with candlelight flickering, the sound of laughter and love filling the air, and an undeniable sense of timeless elegance. Every detail of the day, from the romantic venue to the emotional moments, was a perfect reflection of their love. I had the privilege of filming their story not only through digital video but also through Super 8 film, which added a vintage, cinematic touch to their celebration.
Rylan and Isaiah’s wedding was hosted at The Ashton Depot, a venue that perfectly complemented the romantic, almost ethereal atmosphere they envisioned. The venue’s stunning mix of historic charm and elegant design was ideal for their celebration. The staff at The Ashton Depot were absolutely amazing, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. From the moment guests arrived, they were transported into a space that felt timeless—perfect for a wedding that embodied such deep emotion. The entire venue, lit by candlelight, created an intimate and dream-like ambiance, making every shot feel magical. As I filmed, I knew this was going to be a wedding full of unforgettable moments, and the soft grain of the Super 8 film captured the atmosphere beautifully.
Before heading to the chapel, Rylan and Isaiah spent their morning preparing at a nearby Airbnb. The space was full of excitement and calm energy, the perfect setting for the bride to get ready with her loved ones. The atmosphere in the room was light-hearted, yet filled with anticipation. Rylan’s bridesmaids helped her into her stunning Renaissance-inspired drop-waist gown, and you could see how much this day meant to her. The getting-ready moments were intimate and sweet, and I made sure to capture the small details, from the lace of her dress to the smiles and laughter of the bridal party. It was a serene start to what would be an emotionally charged day.
The ceremony at Marty Leonard Chapel was nothing short of magical. The soft glow from the candlelight and the chapel’s stunning architecture created the perfect atmosphere for Rylan and Isaiah’s vows. As they stood there, exchanging promises, it was impossible not to feel the love they shared. There was no first look, and the anticipation was palpable—when Rylan walked down the aisle, Isaiah’s reaction was filled with emotion, and the moment they locked eyes was pure magic. The entire ceremony, lit softly by candles, had the kind of old-world charm you see in classic films. I captured it all, including the small, personal moments, on both digital video and Super 8 film, which gave the ceremony a warm, vintage feel.
Rylan’s wedding dress was truly a work of art. Designed with a drop waist and delicate lace details, it made her look as though she had stepped out of a Renaissance painting. The soft glow from the candles seemed to wrap around her, enhancing the ethereal quality of the gown. As she walked down the aisle, the dress flowed beautifully, and the whole moment felt straight out of a period drama. The vintage look of the Super 8 footage was the perfect way to capture the timeless elegance of her gown, and every twirl, every step was captured in stunning detail.
A wedding day is so much more than just beautiful details—it’s about the people who help bring that vision to life. Weddings by Wendy and Le Force DJ (CJ the DJ) were a dream to work with. Wendy, the planner, ensured everything went smoothly, keeping the timeline in check and allowing me to focus on capturing all the beautiful moments. She truly understood Rylan and Isaiah’s vision and made sure it came to life seamlessly. CJ, the DJ, kept the energy high, ensuring the dance floor was packed all night. His ability to read the crowd and set the perfect mood, from the couple’s first dance to the lively reception, made sure the celebration was a hit. The entire reception felt alive with love, laughter, and joy, and it was a pleasure to film those moments as the guests danced the night away.
What stood out most throughout the day was the sheer emotion that defined every moment. The vows, the toasts, the first dance—each moment was filled with deep love and raw emotion. There wasn’t a dry eye during the ceremony, and even the most joyful moments were underscored by the significance of the day. The entire wedding day felt like a romantic novel come to life. The celebration wasn’t just about the couple’s union—it was about the love they shared with their family and friends. And as a videographer, capturing the candid, heartfelt moments is what I love most. It’s these raw, emotional exchanges that truly make the wedding unforgettable.
To end the evening, Rylan and Isaiah made their grand exit in a vintage getaway car from DFW Vintage Cars. The romantic car, surrounded by candlelight, added the perfect touch to their timeless celebration. As the couple drove away into the night, I captured their joy, knowing that this was the perfect way to close out their unforgettable day.
Rylan and Isaiah’s wedding was one of those rare, emotion-filled celebrations that will always stay with me. The mix of vintage film, candlelight, and period-inspired elegance made it feel like a scene from Pride and Prejudice. Every detail of their day was a reflection of their love for one another, and I feel so lucky to have been the one to capture it all. The staff at The Ashton Depot made the day run smoothly, the planner and DJ brought their magic, and most of all, Rylan and Isaiah’s love made everything feel like a fairy tale.
Here’s to Rylan and Isaiah—may their love continue to grow as beautifully as the memories of their wedding day.
