The Good Vibe Media is a team of female filmmakers that produce high quality video for weddings, brand and events. We love to shoot weddings in a documentary style to capture all of the authentic moments - the happy tears, laughs, intimate moments, wild moves on the dance floor. We work as a fly on the wall to preserve these memories for our couples to cherish and share with their family and friends as they build their life together!

Videographer

We are Steve and Heather and we are a filmmaking couple! We have been together almost our whole lives and our communication as a team is pretty much seamless! For our couples, that means that we are ninja-like on a wedding day, with a quiet and calm vibe! We shoot and edit, so everything is done by us personally. WE NEVER OUTSOURCE! That is important because we really take the time to know your story, to make sure we understand it and to tell it with beautiful images and the authenticity of real sound, set to amazing soundtracks. Your film is a custom piece of art made with love, just for you!

eMotion Cinematography

We are a husband and wife wedding videography and photography team. We offer highlight films full of storytelling and imagery. Jonathan strives to create something that will take your breath away. As a photo and video team, we love to work together to capture those candid moments that you'll cherish forever and the details that you work so hard to perfect. We love to vibe with our couple and let them tell their love story. Let us tell yours!

Brilliant Oak

We’re Alex and Jim. We met working together as visual journalists one hot summer in Phoenix, Arizona. We fell in love making documentaries, kept making them for awhile all over the country (and West Africa), then decided to make movies together forever and got hitched. To put it simply, we love what we do and we love doing it together.

Step 1: Conceptualize the most quintessentially Austin theme a wedding could have. Step 2: Gather the most incredible vendors local to the area to bring the theme to life. Step 3: Find an adorable couple to renew their vows in front of a bunch of strangers. We had so much fun at The Big Fake Wedding Austin!

Two brides find their 'happily ever after' in this twisted fairy tale wedding. The vision for this inspiration shoot was anything but traditional – modern touches in a rustic, woodland space turn the classic fairy tale on its head. Tons of candles, moss and twinkly lights bring magic to a gorgeous ceremony site, while a dark jewel tone color palette with gold flatware makes for an elegant and unique tablescape. Our brides share a dance in a romantic courtyard for a dreamy end to a beautiful night.

Twisted Fairy Tale at Rambling Rose Ranch

This styled shoot was SO. MUCH. FUN. When there's citrus and bright colors, vintage cars and photo booths, a happy real couple and outstanding venue... how could you not have a blast?

Bright and Fun Wedding Inspiration at The Preserve

If there were ever any doubts that Lone Star Oaks could be anything but rustic, those are gone. This romantic styled shoot was boho modern at its finest. We could not get enough of the florals, head table or these amazing models!

Boho Modern Dream at Lone Star Oaks

This styled shoot was nothing short of a blast! If you love pink like we do, you'll want to watch over and over to see how all these amazing vendors truly achieved 50 shades at the glorious Woodbine Mansion in Round Rock!

This styled shoot had a modern boho feel with a beautifully subtle color palette at the stunning Villa Antonia just outside Austin, Texas.
