Traci and Steve Theis wedding - January 28, 2006

On Saturday, January 28, 2006, the wedding ceremony of Traci and Steve Theis was celebrated by nearly 200 guests. The wedding ceremony was held at West University United Methodist Church. The reception following was at The Bella Terraza.

Many out of town guests celebrated this wonderful occasion with Steve and Traci. Steve's groomsmen and ushers--all 10 of them--traveled from different areas of Ohio to stand by Steve as he accepted Traci's hand in marriage.

That Saturday was filled with heavy rain. Thankfully, the rainy day ended at just the right time for Steve and Traci. Around 5:00, the Saturday rain eased up and the sun began to set just before the 5:30 wedding ceremony of Traci Payne and Steve Theis.

What impressed me the most, was the heartfelt devotion that Steve showed for Traci. It is very touching to see the heart of such a devoted spouse. Steve's reaction when Traci made her way down the center isle tells it all. Take a look at the below clip.



The reception was great fun! Evoke Photography was present. They always do a great job documenting the fun and dancing. James Levine with Dynamic Entertainment was the DJ. James is a smooth cat. He knows how to get the crowd dancing. Great to work with James again. Heather with The Bella Terraza as always gave top notch service to her clients and their guests. Traci and Steve had lots of fun! Steve really liked his rasberry amaretto cake. He forced me to try it, so I did. Yummmm!


Congratulations, Steve and Traci!

Dan and Carrie Victor Wedding - January 14, 2006

Last night, Saturday, January 14, 2006, in front of a count of close to 300 wedding guests, we celebrated the marriage of Dan and Carrie Victor.

Dan and Carrie met each other about 2-4 years ago through mutual friends at a Cajun Crawfish Party. (sorry that my time reference is off, guys! My wife, Julie, likely knows the time exactly. She's the Math major and detail better half ;) )

Dan and Carrie are dear people. It was a pleasure to be around their families during their wedding day. It is no surprise how wonderful people find each other to make great couples.

The wedding ceremony was held at The Woodlands United Methodist Church. Shortly after 6:00pm, Carrie and her father walked the beautiful candle lit isle to give her hand in marriage to Dan Victor.

Following the ceremony, they proceded to the reception held at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. If you have never been to The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center, make sure to check it out! It is a beautiful wedding destination. The staff that work the events there have known Julie and me for years. They are very professional and take great care of their event clients.

Music for the reception was provided by Robin with Rock-N-Robin Entertainment. Photography by Magnolia. Both great to work with.

At close to midnight, Carrie let Robin know that it was about time to close the party down and head to the bar downstairs with their friends.

Dan and Carrie will be honeymooning in Hawaii. Dan says no surfing, although it would be cool to say that he was. He'll stick with body boarding.

Congratulations to Dan and Carrie!

Dan and Carrie Victor Rehearsal Dinner - January 13, 2006

Friday, January 13, 2006 the Victor and Hansen family celebrated the rehearsal dinner of Dan and Carrie, soon to be Victor. I filmed the rehearsal dinner and worked as technician for LCD projector, DVD player, speakers, and screen of the photo montage of Dan and Carrie Victor. The Rehearsal Dinner was held at The Grotto in The Woodlands. Special toasts were made from Dan and Carrie to their friends as well as from their friends and family to Dan and Carrie.

One of the toasts that stuck out with me as an extra special one was the one from Carrie to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen. Follow this clip for a special moment of the rehearsal dinner.

Kelly and Lee Russell- January 7, 2006 wedding

(Thank you to Carolina with K&C Photography for helping us color correct these video stills!)

One word comes to mind to describe this wedding LOTS OF FUN! (oh, that's three words. So much fun, I just could not keep it to one :)

Last night, Julie and I filmed the wedding of Kelly and Lee Russell. Surrounded by nearly 400 guests, Kelly and Lee celebrated their wedding in style.

The evening wedding ceremony was held at St. Teresa Catholic Church near Memorial Park. During the ceremony, the pastor encouraged them with this message, "The two of you will become partners with God. Together you can make God's love shown around the world by the simple way that you love each other." Accompanying the message of the ceremony was the sound of the Fort Bend Boy's Choir.

Following the ceremony, the reception was held at The Forest Club. They had a great cover band from Austin. That played a good mix of old dance music. I can't remember the name?? Everyone danced quite a bit. Steve Schmidt Photography (I hope I spelled that right--Schmidt??) was great to work with. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

At about 12:15, Kelly and Lee made their way to the exit led by friends, family, and lots of rose petals.
At the bottom you'll find the "next day highlight" clip of the exit footage.)

Congratulations, Kelly and Lee!

Josh and Nicole - December 30, 2005 wedding

It has been 3 days since the wedding of Josh and Nicole. This was the 2nd time to work with this family. In spring of 2004, we filmed the wedding of Josh's sister. A true honor to be asked back to such a special occasion.

The wedding was held at River Oaks Baptist Church and The Houston Club on Rusk downtown. I have been tied up a bit with 2006 New Year fun and relaxation, so I'm just getting around to posting comments about their wedding.

After each wedding for 2006, Julie and I have committed to posting a short "next day" 1 minute video highlight and some memorable quotes from the wedding day. It's our new years resolution, so we'll see how it goes :)

Josh and Nicole have known each other since Junior High, so this wedding was indeed a special union of two people made for each other. From the sermon that was preached for these two lovebirds, 2 quotes most stand out in my memory.

"Keep a record of the past in pencil, not pen. Make sure that you can erase it easily and move forward with your relationship together".

"In all of my years, I have never met a more perfect couple for each other."

Below is the link to the short "next day" highlight we uploaded to Google Video. Cheers!

Jack
