The Marquardt Ranch is definitely our second home. Just a great place to tie the knot! Enjoy Matthew and Kendra’s Wedding Highlights. Music by Sufjan Stevens.

…and the cases!

Congratulations Chris & Wendee! Here’s a clip of our first of many (we hope) shoots at the popular Vista West Ranch! We also had a chance to work with our pals at Anne Marie Photography.

Jeff and Ashlee came all the way from our nation’s capital to get married in Dallas, Texas. We found Arlington Hall at Lee Park to be a great venue for cinematography! This couple knows how to celebrate and they certainly have the friends to prove it! Diamond Affairs did a great job organizing this event. Enjoy this clip!

Barr Mansion is one of those venues with a TON of character that we just can’t get enough of! Not only is it the nation’s first certified organic events facility, but the history behind it is equally awesome! W.B. Barr, a prosperous businessman, built this elegant Victorian house for his family in 1898, not far from his store, which supported area farmers. Rick & Jennifer tied the knot here on November 1. We were definitely honored to be a part of it and put our cool new gliding rails system to work! Enjoy!

Blake and Shannon’s wedding went down at Stablewood Springs Resort near Hunt, Texas. What  a day it was! I’ll say it again…Dysfunction Junction, their live  band, really knows how to keep the party going strong all night long!  We also got to hang out once again with one of our photog faves, Marcus Revilla!

Enjoy these Wedding Highlights!!!

 

Blake & Shannon – Hillcountry Wedding from elitevp.com on Vimeo.

Yesterday evening, Elite Video Productions had the pleasure of attending a vendors & brides social at Vista West Ranch, a rustic wedding venue sitting on 11 acres of breathtaking Texas hillcountry. It is set in Dripping Springs, Texas, which is located about 23 miles west of Austin. We met Cindy Pearson, owner, who was very friendly. We also had the chance to spend quality time with Stacey Hogge of Petal Pushers (event decor). Stacy gave us the history of Vista West Ranch and the story of how this family ranch came to be what it is today. We are excited about our first Vista West event in October, when we’ll be covering the wedding of kick awesome Austin Wedding Planner/Instructor/Extraordinaire . . . Wendee Robbins! Going back to Vista West . . . this venue has an outdoor ceremony site just outside the reception building, which offers a scenic Texas hillcountry view. If that wasn’t enough, a tree-shaded garden, accessed by a stone walkway from the main reception building, offers a mini-bar and a sitting area surrounding a fire pit. This definitely adds to the charm of Vista West. If you haven’t reserved a venue, this one’s definitely worth checking out!

We also ran into Austin Photographer Andy Peterson from Studio 563. We played the “Who’s Wedding Did We Work Together On” game for awhile. Hilarious!
