J+A | Social Media Edit

J+A first met on the Baylor University campus as undergrads. Upon meeting, the two immediately felt like they had known each other for years. After creating some remarkable memories throughout their time at Baylor, the two moved to Dallas where they started their post-grad life together. From that point, J had known for a long time he wanted to be with A forever 🤍 They got engaged in Austin and said “I Do” in D.C.!

When you envision your wedding day, what moments come to mind? Is it how personal your vows will be? Your Mother helping you get in your dress? Your Father seeing you as a bride for the first time? The First Look? Entering your reception as a married couple?

Regardless of what moments you are thinking of right now, it is inevitable that with all of the wedding day bliss, there will be moments that you'll wish you could remember more vividly. This is especially true as years go by.

From getting ready to grand exit, we are there to capture it all, for you to relive for a lifetime and beyond 💕 Note: This wedding occurred before the Covid-19 pandemic

Willard InterContinental Health and Well-being Protocols Video by Bowen Films

We are beyond pleased to present a video we filmed, edited and produced for InterContinental The Willard Washington D.C., showcasing their commitment to cleanliness during covid-19!

“No matter how many dogs we have in our house, I will provide a helping hand in fostering, and/or raising them.” ▪️ As animal lovers ourselves, we think these vows are pretty perfect!

These are some of the heartfelt moments you will want to replay over and over again, and show to your future children - whether they be human or fur baby 🐶 Note: This wedding occurred before the Covid-19 pandemic

Did you know that the cameras and lenses we use are the exact same as your photographer's? This gives us the ability to maintain our photojournalistic approach throughout the day. In fact, you might not realize we are even there! We believe in capturing events as they happen naturally, as opposed to staging and directing. So whether you love being in front of the camera, or you're a little camera shy, we are able to make you feel relaxed and at ease ❤️ Note: This wedding occurred before the Covid-19 pandemic

Groom Has the Sweetest Reaction to Bride's Dress | Bowen Films

A+S's video is featured today on the home page of @lovestoriestv! Their D.C. love story started in 2012, when they were both working at @bloomberg. Sam was hired to cover the Senate, while Ana was hired to cover the House. They became close friends and even called themselves “work spouses.” Fast forward 8 years later, they tied the knot and officially became Mr. & Mrs 👩‍❤️‍👨 Thank you for the wonderful feature, @lovestoriestv!

Four Seasons Washington, D.C. | Virtual Venue Tour Preview

Today we filmed a Virtual Tour of the newly renovated event spaces at Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC! Here is a quick preview of the hotel, located in the heart of picturesque Georgetown.

“Thank you SO MUCH for all of your efforts to ensure our wedding day last Sunday was captured in the best light possible! We were so incredibly happy with how the day turned out and you played such a huge role in making that happen for us. From not only capturing the event on film, but to arriving early to test the WiFi, setting up the Zoom live stream, scheduling a test Zoom, and ensuring the technology worked flawlessly - we cannot thank you enough! We have had so many friends and family tell us how amazing the wedding looked on the Zoom and that they felt like they were there in person with us. Considering the COVID environment, it means so much to us that we were able to have the ceremony captured live with such great quality.”- Jordan & Daniel, married on 7/5/20, 250+ guests viewing on Zoom

Live Streaming has become an essential element for weddings during this time. If you decide to move forward with a wedding this year, there will be loved ones unable to attend either due to travel and/or gathering restrictions. Professionally live streaming your special day is the closest way to make your guests feel like they are actually there with you, experiencing your special day 🤍
