Get Ready to Catch Some Major Feels
We worked with Catholic Charities to create a film showcasing several of their programs and how they help those in our community through generous donations. This film was commissioned for their 2019 Spirit of Charity Gala.
We have a new found respect for wedding planners. We always knew they were pretty much the hardest working person the day of a wedding, but watching Rachel solve difficult problems on the fly left us in awe! Not to mention, she genuinely loves her couples and what she does. �� Here’s a sneak peek into a day in the life of a wedding planner. � Promo coming soon! Book Rachel for your next event! www.masterpieceweddings.net
"I can not believe that Jason—who is the least known of all the Disney princesses—was able to pull off getting married here." Best. Line. EVER. How did a Boston-based couple decide Disney was the place to tie the knot? It is the most MAGICAL place on Earth, am I right? Jaclyn says that Jayson is the unofficial Mayor of Disney. He's been to Disney 27+ times—so pretty much every year of his life. When they were trying to choose locations, they decided a destination wedding would be the perfect vacation for their family and friends. So why not plan one kickas* party at a place that's means so much to her future husband? From fireworks to confetti drops, their day was nothing short of magical. What else do you expect from Disney?

A story of new life feels like the best way to begin Heart Happy Films. This one is near and dear to my heart. "Our desire for him is that he knows God's voice, intimately, he knows it with confidence. He can have just peace and just security knowing who he was created by and who he was created for--to honor the Lord." - Brian I met Melissa at a new mom luncheon almost 6 years ago. She initiated the start of our amazing mom support group and was huge in helping me cope with newborn (and new mama) stress. Guys, I was a mess and she was there for me, letting me know I'm not alone. And don't we all just want to know that we aren't alone? When Melissa was pregnant with her third, she knew she wanted to do something different--something that would be special for Jonathan and celebrate their family becoming a family of 5. I jumped at the opportunity to work with them. And let me tell you, interviewing a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old is not for the faint of heart. Melissa and Brian, thank you for being so vulnerable and open--welcoming me to capture this important moment in your lives, so that you can relive this day forever.

"As a dad, to spend almost 30 years as your security and your protector, it's tough to hand that off. But it helps when your husband is a United States Marine. I know you'll be safe." Father of the bride speeches get me every.single.time. Even more so now that we have a daughter. Heather and Matthew's day was filled with so much love. Sure, the couple were head over heels for each other after not seeing each other for weeks, but what we didn't expect was the love we felt from their family and friends. It was easy to tell how much Heather and Matthew meant to each and every one of their guests.

Check out what the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha have been up to this summer!
Victoria and Cameron met while biking opposite directions on a trail, they literally collided into each other. These two originally planned to get married here in Florida, but ditched those plans and moved their celebration to one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. I know I say this quite a bit, but we honestly love our couples. Cameron and Victoria, along with their families, welcomed us with open arms. We felt like one of the family. Couples like Cameron and Victoria are why we absolutely love what we do. Thank you both for welcoming us with big hugs, for not stressing over rain, for humoring Kyle when he made you guys high five EVERYWHERE, and for making me cry happy tears multiple times over that magical weekend. You two are good for the soul. Merry Christmas loves! Gear Used: https://kit.com/hearthappyfilms/wedding-travel-kit
"Just the way she loves me, I've never felt like that with anybody in my life." You know how I like to start my Friday? With MAN TEARS. Lots of them. Ross and Shelby's story gets me every time.

"I prayed that God would send me someone that... knew and wanted to know how to love me, the way I needed to be loved." - Leston Start your Friday with a full heart. Leston and Claras met by chance at an FSU tailgate. 2 years later their paths crossed again. Leston spotted her across a room and dropped everything he was doing to go talk to her--he didn't even remember her name. He just knew he couldn't let the opportunity pass. Thank you, Leston and Claras for sharing your day with us. We feel lucky (and honored) to have been trusted to tell your story. Your love for each other and for your friends and family is unforgettable. We hope you both enjoy re-living this day for years and years to come. Sending you both our love!

"I was scared to death that no one would ever love me, that I was broken, that I wasn't worthy of being loved. And he knew I was broken and he took me in and just loved me for who I was... crazy and all. I knew that this is it, I've found my match. I've found my soulmate." -Amy
My heart guys... overflowing with joy and love for these two! They tied the knot last night, surprising all of their friends and family who thought they were attending an engagement party! Their surprise wedding was so perfect and so genuinely them. Wishing these two the very best as they head off on their Iceland honeymoon! Congratulations to these two beautiful human beings!

"It just never quite worked out. I always knew that she was 'the one' and she'd always be that one that got away unless I really pursued her... timing was always against us." Erika and Danny's story remind us so much of our story. It's probably one of the big reasons we feel so emotionally connected to them and their day. They met back in high school, their paths crossing throughout life but never at the right time - until it was. They've been waiting so long for this moment. We were truly honored to be there and witness their love firsthand. You both are why we do what we do. Vendors // The Resort at Longboat Key Club Swanky Soiree Events
"She makes me laugh every day. Even the days when I don't want to laugh and I'm frustrated with something, she finds a way to put a smile on my face. She brings an indescribable joy to my life that I just couldn't live without." Ian, we so so get it. Audra is a catch and Ian best be counting his lucky stars that he caught her! Her smile, her laugh and sense of humor, how welcoming and full of grace... those DANCE MOVES - Audra is one incredibly beautiful person inside and out. Ian, you're okay too. ;) We feel like we've know you both all our lives, yet we just met. You two are perfection together. We could feel your love for each other and those around you through every second of your day. Yeah guys, Ian and Audra are the full package.

"You did not fit a single thing on my list. Yet, I've always known that I could trust you not only to protect my heart, but all of ours." Mia and her boys have stolen Alex's heart - and ours too. My heart overflows with joy and love for them. Their wedding wasn't just the coming together of two people, but of four. Oh, and did I mention it was New Year's Eve? So stop whatever it is you're doing - you needed a break anyways - and watch this film. Footage cut to "Surrounding" (Alternate Mix) by Chptrs and "Feels Right" by Beccaa.

"I used to pray a lot about my future wife. Not just when I was in high school or college, but even when I was little boy... you were the person I was praying for. I have no doubt in my mind I was thinking of you for all of those years though I'd never seen your face." - Ben
Ben and Samantha's story is so deeply rooted in St. Augustine. This is the city where they met, where they dated, where they fell in love, where he proposed... and finally, where they were married. We have a new found love for St. Augustine, after seeing it through Ben and Samantha's eyes. AND morning weddings got me all in a tizzy y'all. Watching this sleepy city wake up with that beautiful morning light was incredible.
"You aren't truly wealthy until you have something money can't buy. Let me tell you friends, you just became some of the wealthiest people in the world."
As Kyle and I drove away from Rob and Leslie's wedding, the one word that came to mind was "authentic." Every moment felt so true and honest... they planned their wedding like one big party and sprinkled in all these beautiful, intentional (and hilarious) moments. From Rob walking down the aisle to Montell Jordan's "This is how we do it," to a giant T-Rex crashing their reception. There was a surprise around each corner for their guests.
Turns out weddings aren't the only event I get teary eyed at. 😅 We had a wonderful time celebrating sweet Amelia. Big thanks to the awesome vendor team who made this event 🏆
"She's the other half of me... she makes me a better person. I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather spend my life with than Jessica."
Anthony and Jessica's first contact with each other was through Facebook. He didn't meet her in person until months later in the parking garage of Downtown Disney. The fact that he can recall so vividly what she looked like that day, down to the color of her shirt... guys, my heart! #rightinthefeels And don't you just love how social media is bringing couples together these days? So many people we talk to are telling us more and more that they met on the internet! One person deciding one day to message the other person. Like seriously - blowing my mind!

Life is so so beautiful.
We captured Dustin and Kendra's wedding 3 years ago, and the birth of their two sons 4 months ago. You guys... it's such a beautiful and joyous thing to capture love, which is why we adore weddings. But to witness not only the marriage of two people, but also the moment they become parents? So many feelings I can't even describe. My heart is overflowing with joy for these two.
"And one day I realized that you were the type of young man that Vickie and I had been praying for, for our daughter."
Cue all the tears. Ethan and Katelyn, we hope you both enjoy re-living all the beautiful moments which made your day as special as it was. Sure... it was HOT and a teeny bit humid... or maybe we all were dripping in sweat. You both handled it so graciously, never losing sight of the importance of each moment - or each other.

You guys, a love story 12 years in the making. Honestly, this might just be the best wedding video we've ever made. Of course, when you have an amazing couple like Chris and Anabel and a beautiful city like Saint Augustine, it makes our job a whole lot easier. Congratulations you two!

I was honored to have been a part of such an intense and emotional journey. Capturing Molly Grace's beautiful entry into this world is one of my top favorite moments in my life. I will never forget the courage, bravery and love of these two special people right here. Thank you Matt and Natalie. You've left me speechless. Molly is so incredibly lucky to have you two as parents. Now, excuse me while I go ugly cry. #imnotcryingyourecrying
"Even though you are not there... even though you KNOW you are not there, she still doesn't even count that as a thought. 'No, you are here, you're with us. We are doing things together right now'. That's a great feeling. That's what helps you get through rough days."
When Nicole contacted us to capture Andrew's return home after an 11 month deployment, we were immediately on board. We captured their wedding 3 years ago and have enjoyed watching their family grow with the addition of little Caroline. To have the opportunity to create another beautiful film for them - we were beyond honored.
This film is a testament to the love Andrew and Nicole have for each other and the family they've made together. Films like these bring us such joy. They are truly labors of love.
"I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you are exactly the woman that God has created for me to have by my side. You are graceful, elegant, and timeless. You are truly the only one for me." - Daniel
Mary Beth and Daniel’s story starts in Vegas on New Year’s Eve a few years ago, when Daniel decided to “go for it” and kissed her after the clock stroke midnight. From there they began a long distance relationship, with him in the Oklahoma, and her in Florida. They have such intense love and respect for each other. They tied the knot on one of the most beautiful days we’ve ever seen at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club.

I told her about the dream, and she said 'Under no circumstances am I going to marry you,' and that was the answer. But at that time, when I had that dream, I woke up and I realized I could marry her. Yeah, I could see myself marrying her. " - Reginald
Reginald and Megan, I don't know where to begin. Your story has touched me on a deep emotional level. There is just something about you two, it's unexplainable but certainly deeply rooted in the love you have for each other, and for your son Nehemiah.

Daniel said it best when he said "My Grandmother raised 7 children by herself, so I believe me and Hawaii can handle 9, with two." We dare you to watch this film without tearing up!

If your guy surprised you with a trip to Paris, then proposed to you in front of the Eiffel Tower, you'd say "yes" too.
Brian and Katie's day was really a fun day for us. Not only had Katie and Brian thought through every single detail of their day (which was also excellently executed by their vendors), but they also remembered to have fun - laughing through portraits, high five-ing each other, dancing funky at their reception, and even goofing off for the camera. Be sure to stay tuned for a little something extra at the end of their film!

Tim and Laci's wedding was filled with so many sweet moments. From Tim telling their 4 year old son, "Look! Here comes Mommy!" as Laci came down the aisle, to Laci's story of how they met. Who knew a simple job interview would start it all?

When Denis first met Jennifer, he said she looked like a movie star, pulling up in her convertible with her sunglasses on. They both were at their wits end with dating, but we are so glad they decided to go on that first date together. These two kept us laughing all day long and have a strong connection that is undeniable.

I love a groom who gets emotional during his vows. Lindsay even joked, "we can skip it" when Patrick could no longer speak. True love y'all. Lindsay and Patrick's wedding has easily become one of our all time favs.

We met up with Carolyn and Dustin at the location Dustin proposed, the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA, for their love story session. Kyle just happened to be in town right after they moved out to Cali. So he thought, why not meet up?
We are so happy we did - the beautiful words Dustin uses to describe his love for Carolyn brings tears to our eyes every time we watch their film. Such honesty and truth. Couples like Dustin and Carolyn are totally why we love what we do.

We met Matt (along with his team) at a wedding a few years back. He is so incredibly easy to get along with and his team works so well together. As Natalie says, they are like a "well-oiled machine." So, when Matt came to us with the idea of shooting a promotional video for his business, we were immediately stoked! We shot over the course of 2 days and really worked hard to figure out exactly who Matt was, and why his business is unique.

Not to be viewed without a tissue, or two! Abby and Andre wrote their own vows which made for a pretty incredible (and emotional!) ceremony. They both also know how to have fun - which included dancing down the aisle after their first kiss and a pretty awesome organized dance at their reception. We love couples like Abby and Andre - we couldn't help but smile the whole time we edited this one.

Jessica's dress was gorgeous - and PINK! Which totally complimented her personality. Jessica and James's story of how they met is one of the most unique we've heard. Upon meeting James for the first time (before they started dating), Jessica's Mother said "He's the one you are going to marry." It was meant to be between these two, and we couldn't be more honored to capture their day.

Josh and Lindsay were married on Father's Day at Plantation Inn. They are both big Gator fans, so there was certainly no shortage of orange and blue at their wedding.

Caroline and Ryan were married at the Ponte Vedra Beach Inn and Club. These two have some great chemistry and were a blast to work with.

Kristin Kozelsky, of Kristin Kozelsky Photography, contacted us a little while ago inquiring about a video that would help her explain what she specializes in: Beloved Photography. We were curious about it and even after she explained it, we were still a little bit confused. So, at that point, we knew she'd be a great candidate for a promotional video.

On Friday, February 15th (just a day after Valentine's Day), we had the amazing opportunity to film the proposal of a friend of ours. Matt contacted us a few weeks before with his idea to propose to Natalie at the airport, and for us to capture it all. I mean, how cool would it be to see your parents' proposal? Or grandparents' proposal? We were immediately hooked. Matt and Natalie's story is strongly tied to the airport—but enough from us—we'll let their video tell their story. :)
