We’re a Texas couple. This is our home.

We are a Texas wedding videography couple, and Texas has always been home. We got married in Lubbock in 2021, and Michael Dean has been filming weddings since he was 16 years old. We know how much it means to have a film of your own people, your own voices, and the day you started your life together.

Michael Dean’s family settled in the German New Braunfels area. There’s even a street named after his family in San Antonio! My family’s roots are out in the West Texas High Plains, and all of our family lives in Texas today. Between the two of us, we can travel almost anywhere in the state and usually have a family member to stay with. We are that ingrained in Texas, and proud of it.

With an Aggie and a Texas Tech graduate between us, you can probably guess that we have some strong opinions during football season. We’re based near Fredericksburg now, but we love getting on the road to film people and places across Texas.

Documentaries & brand stories

From a local business mini documentary to a longer story about a person or community, we love giving real voices room to tell the story.

Restaurant & social content

Food, drinks, atmosphere, and the people who make a place worth visiting. We create restaurant videos and focused content for websites and social media.

Wine & vineyard stories

We also love filming wine-related content, especially here in the Texas Hill Country. I hold WSET Level 3 and earned my PhD in Horticulture from Texas A&M, so vineyards, growing things, and the stories behind a bottle are subjects I’m especially excited to spend time with. That background gives us another way to connect with wineries and the people doing the work.

A Texas film studio with experience across different kinds of stories

Our work includes the award-winning documentary Wonderful World with Clint Townsend, the Whimsy & Whiskey mini documentary, restaurant storytelling, and wine content. Michael Dean’s studio collaborations also include projects for Texas A&M and the George Bush Presidential Library, along with selected CGI work for BRAVE Books’ Iggy and Mr. Kirk, featuring Kirk Cameron.

Each project’s credits explain our role. You can explore the films and collaborations on our production portfolio.
