McKinlee + Adam

What a darling pair these two make! Seeing a family start brings us such joy and the look on Adam's daughter's face when she sees McKinlee in her dress is just the best! This was our first time shooting at the McGranahan Barn and it was just perfect! As some of you know, my wife has a borderline weird love for clouds...yes clouds...and to quote her, "Oh great clouds today!" We did just beat the storm that night and the two had the most epic sparkler exit to date with lightening cracking as they emerged (it was slightly terrifying but awesome!). Even though it was our first time working with photographer Morgan Gauntt, we had to get pretty close to stay dry under our solo umbrella! 

We are so happy for the both of you and can't thank you enough for choosing us to capture your wedding! Enjoy!

Marni + Jacob

It hard hard not to pick favorites with our couples but these two are clear front runners! The father of the bride had one of the best toasts I have ever heard and his reaction seeing Marni for the first time that day is priceless. We aspire to capture genuine emotions and moments when filming couples and Marni and Jacob made the job so easy. It is so evident how much these two care for one another and we couldn't be happier for them. Thank you both so much for choosing us! Enjoy!

Jennifer + Garrett

What a wedding! And proof It is such a small world! When she booked, Jennifer's parents lived right across the street from us. One night we came home to a lot of cars on our street.  We saw these love birds, all smiles, walking up to the house for their surprise engagement party! It was an "awe" moment for sure.   

So we were super thrilled when she booked!  It felt like it was coming full circle.  And we always love working with the very talented photographer Randy Coleman---and shooting a new location, Broken Horn Ranch. When Randy first walked up on the day we both eyed the pecan orchard...grove? Not sure about the nomenclature...but it made for some amazing footage and photos! I am so excited to work on a wedding when toasts are given that are genuine and from the heart. Jennifer's little sister gave one of the best I've heard, and it really struck a chord for this older sibling. Enjoy!

Maredith + Guy (Part 2)

What a year for these two! It is going to be easy for these two Cubs fans to remember their first year of marriage! What a day we had with such a fantastic couple. With this being our seventh year as a business with over 200 weddings on the books, it would be hard to find a couple that had more genuine affection and downright giddiness for each other. They wrote their own vows, had very touching letters, and the groom even had hot air balloon socks harkening back to his proposal (which we filmed) at a hot air balloon festival! Just well done to these two. We couldn't be happier for this couple to have chosen us. Enjoy!

The Birth of Adalyn- Part One

Well, here's a new one.  I posted Part Two of this post, before I posted Part One.  It was such a joy to watch this family experience such a special moment.  Enjoy!

E + K

I find myself saying this about every video but I can't help it; this is one of my favorites! I love when couples write their own vows and these two did an amazing job. Their love for each other made for an amazing video and made our job all the more worthwhile! 

Also, just so we are all on the same page, we here at Carpe Diem do not discriminate against couples wanting to get married. This particular wedding occurred before the Supreme Court decision, but that made zero difference to us. Two people that love each other will always be able to book with us regardless of sexuality, religion, or race. Who you are is who you are and you love who you love. It infuriates me when I hear of vendors refusing clients based on reasons listed above. Our clients trust us to preserve memories of the most important day of their lives and we do not take it lightly. We get to know our clients very well and care for them very much. These two are no exception. But enough of my soapbox, please enjoy!

Ramsey + Michael

Part of what makes our job so great is seeing the two people in love living out the best day of their lives. This couple made the most of their wedding day and had some really fun, great friends to help them. The band rocked, the dance floor stayed packed, and the groom busted out some pretty spectacular moves!

I'm a big fan of the father of the bride makes a toast from the heart and this one does a bang up job. To the families of this couple, thank you so much for letting us capture your children's special day. To Ramsey and Michael, always seize the good stuff!
