FilmStrong Wedding Films

FilmStrong Wedding Films Films about Love (featuring your wedding) by Matthew and Rachel Johnson We love having fun and believe our work should be no different.

Our names are Matt and Rachel Johnson, and we are the creators of FilmStrong Productions, a wedding filmmaking studio based out of Dallas, Texas. This is our business, but we are completely unafraid to share a joke and be ourselves. We are more worried about featuring a couple as they are than we are about keeping the style of every film the exact same. We are content to be who we are and are looking for couples that will open up so we can capture the important, the crazy, the happy, and the sad

Just realized we never shared this amazing film from last year. These two might be the smartest people we know. Allyson inhales books and Mark is basically a Jeopardy and crossword puzzle champion. I (Rachel) wasn't able to attend this wedding since it took place only weeks after the birth of our daughter and boy did I miss out. Chocolate gravy, crazy dance moves, and fireworks oh my!

With an intro email that included tacos, pizza, and the words “crazy stupid decision to get married in Ireland”, Jordann and Nick spoke all the right magic words to get our attention. More than that, we liked them enough to fly 9 hours around the world to Ireland and roam through forests, across mountain tops, and all over Dublin in a country where everyone drives on the wrong side of the road. Love how this teaser turned out.

Rachel says I’ve become much more emotional since the birth of our daughter Leah. When I traveled to Nashville to film the first wedding since Leah was born, I can confirm that I’m much more likely to cry at a wedding now that I have a daughter that will grow up one day and most likely get married.

Seeing not only the love of Allyson and Mark, but the way that they were loved by their friends and family moved me to tears at multiple times throughout their wedding weekend. This trailer shows some of those moments, and many more happy times as well. I may have been crying, but I fit right in on the wedding day. - Matt

I met Lacy years ago when she was photographing the same wedding I was filming. I was relatively new and was experiencing shooting video with a fancy full frame camera for the first time, whereas she was the expert with a plethora of lenses that she was willing to let me borrow.

This was the first hint I saw of Lacy’s generosity. We would only see each other every year or two when working weddings together, but she was always a text or Facebook message away when I needed business advice or recommendations. She was an open book and held no secrets about the wedding industry, and to this day I’m convinced that my business would not be as successful as it is now without her encouragement.

I should also mention her photography talents here, because that plays into her wedding story as well. Lacy has the rare ability to make any bride look and feel like a princess in her photos. And to be clear, I don’t mean cheesy, super airbrushed “princess”, I’m talking “you are going to look your best you ever have, your photos will look like a fairytale, and it’s all due to Lacy’s photography skills.”

One blisteringly hot day in Sugarland, Lacy and I filmed a wedding together and I met her new second shooter and boyfriend, Scott. There’s guys that I’ve met that exude cool, and he fit the description fully. The list of guys with a resume that includes military, police, and photography experience isn’t very long, but he’s on it. More so than his list of skills that rival Liam Neeson, was the way he looked at and talked about Lacy. There was a tenderness there under the surface that was impossible to miss. A wedding for these two was inevitable.

Throughout her career Lacy had documented thousands of weddings for thousands of couples, but you could tell that her wedding was something completely new. She had spent her life creating images of brides that look like princesses, and now it was finally time for her to live that fairytale. It brought me so much joy to be able to capture that moment for them in this film.

First dates are often awkward, but for Allison and Seth it was the moment they realized they were perfect for one another. Over a smorgasbord of hot wings, they discussed politics, religion, how many children they wanted to have - all of the topics you aren’t supposed to talk about on a first date. This seriousness brought them together, and by the end they were both looking forward to a second date.

Their openness with each other is so visible on their wedding day, from the way they speak about the other to the tears they shared as they professed vows. After this day, Allison was finally able to call Seth husband, and Seth could call Allison wife, possessive words that neither of them will ever get tired of saying.

Victoria wrote letters to her future husband for years, praying for him. Love this moment from Henry and Victoria's film, where as Victoria walks down the aisle, the audio of some of her letters is heard as she walks to her groom.

Lacy and I actually disagree on where and when we met years ago, but we both know it was at a wedding, where I was a relatively new videographer and she was an experienced photographer. I’m sure I got in her way many times on that day, but she was gracious, offered me advice, and we proceeded to become friends from then on.

In the years since our meeting, I’ve been repeatedly struck by Lacy’s kindness and generosity towards other people and animals. Whether it was rescuing a dog that was about to be put down at a shelter or cooking massive meals for others in need, I always hoped she would meet someone that matched her giving nature.

It’s only fitting that when we shot another wedding together several years later, she introduced her second shooter/boyfriend, Scott. Within 5 minutes of meeting, he had my jaw dropped as he told stories of his time in the military, but when he then spoke about Lacy it was with the utmost care and tenderness. From that moment it was clear they would last.
