I met Joshua about a year and a half ago where we attended film school together in Vancouver. Halfway through the year I had the pleasure of spending time with his fiance Bonny-Jo when she came to visit. Joshua had mentioned that he was thinking about hiring me and flying me out to Dallas Texas to film their wedding. After working out the logistics he bought the tickets and it was booked! So fast forward 8 months and here we are. The wedding day finally came. I had never been to Dallas before so it was an awesome experience to see the city. I had such a fun time with this incredible couple. These two have an amazing story. They’ve known each other since they were in their young teenage years. Joshua had pursued Bonny for quite some time and once she fell for him they were inseparable. Their unconditional love for each other is so apparent when you see them together and their wedding day truly reflected that. It was also one of THE funnest weddings I’ve been to. They really wanted their quests to have a fun time and they truly succeeded.
Dallas Texas is usually a warm and sunny place this time of year and up until a few days before the wedding that was the forecast. But on the wedding day the clouds threatened to change plans but Joshua and Bonny-Jo were determined and willed the rain away. The rain held off long enough for the photo shoot but once the ceremony started the rain had begun. At this point their was no turning back and to tell you the truth I’m glad it rained. To see this couple surrounded by their family and closest friends, declaring they’re love for each other in the poring rain was just amazing.
I’d like to give a special thanks to Bonny-Jo and Joshua for flying me out to be apart of this amazing wedding and to meet their amazing friends and family.
Below is a short trailer of their wedding day.
I had such a fun time shooting this wedding along with the photographer Tara Swain. Check out her site!
WOW. Dude that just gave me chills. The first scene with him just waiting was so good. And then when he turned around and it switched to the firecrackers. Only one word describes it: epic.

I loved it! You did such an amazing job! It felt like was seating in movie theater watching the previews and the Bonny and Josh trailer comes on and I cant wait to watch it. It was so suspenseful will Josh like what he’ll see when he turns around? I can’t wait to pay 9.75 for my ticket to watch the The Epic Wedding.

I love love love the flow of Joshua and Bonny dancing on the porch. I can’t believe how great the sound and picture quality is. Some of the vows were hard to hear at the ceremony, but perfectly clear on here. Great job. I may have to fly you down here myself someday when I get married!

MAC-WAYNE. Bonny Jo and I are sitting at an airport in South Carolina right now. We’re on our way home from our honeymoon and have a five hour layover. We just watched the trailer and I was literally crying sitting here at the airport. Between your video and Tara’s pictures I am a mess. I love the trailer. You did an amazing job, but I knew that … See Moreyou would. I cannot wait to see the rest. You are the man and my hero. P.S. GLIDECAM WAS SO WORTH EVERY PENNY! Or something. Okay, okay. All right. I love you.
