About This Vendor
Rooted In Faith, Present In Joy
Your wedding day is a celebration of so many things - the journey that brought you together, the joy of this moment and the marriage you're creating that reflects the heart of God. We're passionate about making sure your wedding video not only captures the celebration of your love for each other, but also the foundation you are building for a lifetime together. From the moment you connect with us, you'll notice something different: we truly care about what drives you and inspires you. With a proven journey-led method, we take the time with you long before your wedding day to uncover what you value most so that no moment or emotion is overlooked on your wedding day. And when that day finally arrives, you can feel confident that we'll be ready for all those moments - big and small - that will weave together to create a story that's like no other; your wedding film, to enjoy for the rest of your lives. Your story is worth telling and we believe in telling that story through the lens of your wedding. We're passionate about creating authentic video that tells your love story the way photographs never could. We put in the work to uncover the themes of encouragement, perseverance, and growth you've experienced in life that have led you to this point as you begin your new life together. With over 8 years of experience filming hundreds of weddings, we’ve learned that it’s the people who are most important. The personalities, the desires and the history that is to be paid great attention to. We go into great detail and learn what that is. We love to capture life and inspire you with purpose. www.purelyfilms.com

Holly and Ryan are a husband-wife team who showed skill, creativity, and an aura of peace on our wedding day. They operated so well together shooting intimate moments in a comfortable and patient way for my husband and I. They are talented, ser...
vant-hearted, and they truly care about getting to know you. Highly recommend!
You will not find a more talented Videography team than Purely Films. Ryan and Holly are a DREAM to work with and have the passion and ability to tell someone’s story in a way I’ve never seen before. It truly is unmatched. We are in awe of and ...
amazed by our wedding Film and the entire experience. From day one, they made us feel like we were their only couple and number one priority.. and let me tell you, they are booked and busy. Just look at their work and you will see why. I always knew I wanted a videographer to capture my wedding, but was worried I wouldn’t be able to find one that could match the vision I had in my head. When I stumbled across one of their films on Facebook, I not only saw my vision, but I saw a vision I didn’t even know was possible and could only be found in my wildest dreams. It was definitely a gift and sign from GOD that this was my videography team. I spent the next several hours watching every wedding film they’ve created while laughing, crying and falling in love with every story. Their attention to detail and outstanding editing told our story in the most amazing and beautiful way. We are so blessed to have this treasure to take with us and watch throughout our lives. Thank you Holly, Ryan and Purely Films for this gift! Mark and I feel so blessed to have had you share and retell our day and story in the best possible way. You two are the most genuine, passionate and wonderful people that we are blessed to now call friends. I’m so happy I stumbled across one of your videos that day. Thank you will just never seem enough. We love you both!
♥️April & Mark “The Bells”
I had the pleasure of working with purely films for a mutual clients wedding. They were kind, professional and produced the loveliest video. Can't wait to work with them again.
LOVED working with Ryan and Holly. They truly got to know my husband and I and find out our vision for the film. We can tell they worked hard and showed our love and the fun we all had so well!
We first met this amazing couple at my friend’s wedding, and that same weekend Ryan and I got engaged. I loved how fun and professional they were for my friend, so I knew they would be our go to team for our wedding! After a few calls and FaceT...
ime meeting (since we lived out of town), we finally finalized everything for our big day! Holly and Ryan had their hands full with our group...we were all loud and crazy, and half my family is deaf. They managed to work around all the craziness, and were able to capture everything we had asked for and more! They are extremely enjoyable to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a videographer!
I had the pleasure of working with PurelyRuined Studios in February 2020 for a wedding I was the Day Of Director for at the Encore Boston Harbor Resort in Massachusetts. This husband and wife duo were punctual, attentive, creative, and found a ...
way to engage their videography efforts with wedding guests in an efficient way. They followed the timeline for all events executed over the course of the weekend and we worked extremely well together. Their final product was amazing and myself and our clients alike were thrilled with the attention to detail captured in their video from behind the scenes to the guest facing elements of decor. As an established Event Planner in New England, I would personally recommend Purely Ruined Studios for any/all video production needs.

We absolutely LOVE our wedding video! It fully captured our day and we couldn’t be more thankful to have this to cherish forever! Holly and Ryan really take the time to invest in you as a couple and it’s so refreshing! You forget sometimes that...
they are your videographers because they truly feel like friends by the end of the journey! Thank you Holly and Ryan! We love y’all! ♥️
Let me start by saying that I, am one picky girl. Knowing that, my husband left this task up to me! I’ve had this vision of what our wedding video would be like, and Holly and Ryan brought that vision to life. They not only listened to my many ...
requests, they worked with me, and delivered an absolutely incredible film. To summarize - from the get go, Holly and Ryan have been nothing short of amazing.
Finding the right videographer is almost as important as finding the right groom (haha). Knowing that, I did my due diligence while researching many, many videographer companies. I’m happy I did, because that led me to Purelyruined Studios.
We’ve watched our wedding film so many times, and fall in love with that day all over again each time. It’s the perfect way to remember the perfect day, and making sure you hire professionals who knows what they’re doing makes a huge difference.
Thank you Holly and Ryan!

I am so in love with your vision and I loved hearing all about it! It encouraged us and even helped us grow in our skill and for that we thank YOU! What an amazing adventure your day was! Traveling to Phoenix and showing us your home and whe...
re your family has come together was such a blessing. Your dad is hilarious and so sentimental at the same time and you and Daniels love for all the littles in the family is just so amazing to see. What an unforgettable and amazing weekend! Thank you so much for inviting us to capture and be a part of it.
Holly and Ryan are truly gifted storytellers. My wife and I wanted to capture our wedding day with a film, but I don't think we fully understood what that even meant until we saw what PurelyRuined Studios created for us.
For starters, Holly an...
d Ryan absolutely love what they do. From our first phone call with them, it was clear that these videographers weren't using people to pursue their craft; they were using their craft to pursue people. We felt like we had two new enthusiastic fans the night we shared our vision for our big day with Holly and Ryan. They took the time to get to know us, and they weren't just vendors at our wedding—they were our friends, too!
Your wedding day happens so fast. Even the days leading up to it all kind of blur together. One thing I loved about PurelyRuined Studios was how they seamlessly stepped into all the right moments. Even when I did catch a glimpse of a camera in the background, I had no clue how hard they were working to capture words, laughter, facial expressions, and so many little details of a much bigger story that our wedding weekend was all about.
Their work speaks for itself. Go watch our AMAZING wedding video right now and enjoy the sights, sounds, and emotions of my favorite day! I've watched it dozens of times :) Holly and Ryan don't just show you different shots and angles from your wedding day—they remind you why your love is worth celebrating in the first place. For your wedding day, you can trust PurelyRuined Studios to lean into your story, to surprise you with moments you’d miss otherwise, and to craft a film that evokes all the love that your wedding celebrates.

Thank you for communicating our hearts and our journey with you guys.
Blessings to you both for many years!
Purelyruined was fantastic to work with. My wife and I could not have asked for a better videographer! We just passed our one year anniversary and have watched our video many times to relive the day. Really could not be happier with the outcome...

h and heart and spunk...from the start we knew this was a wedding we wouldn't forget. And I was right haha
We have loved every part of the journey with you two and seeing it all come together on the day was such a blessing for us. You had so many moments and so many experiences I made sure to take so many notes to make sure I didn't miss any. for sure a day to never forget! We can not thank you enough!
Oh and YES SO EXCITED FOR BOSTON! ;)
Holly and Ryan did a great job. They took time to get to know us before the wedding in order to know our personalities and story and best capture them in the video. We enjoyed the finished product; it is apparent that they take pride in their w...

Purely Ruined Studios were the videographers for a close friend of mine in Austin a few years ago. After I watched their wedding videos, I was stunned! Their ability to tie in captivating scenery, intimate moments of their big day, and top notc...
h imagery and sound was superb. I knew immediately after viewing their work, I had to have them as my videographers as well.
The team was very accommodating, being able to travel to Weatherford, TX for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Both Holly and Ryan were enthusiastic and passionate about capturing our special weekend. I felt completely comfortable around them at all times. I was confident in their ability to capture our memories in the best way possible. They did a great job at including both my husband and I's different cultures, even to the extent of including subtitle translation when needed.
Another great quality they possess is their ability to make the video into a story, capturing all the feelings and emotions of that day. I am so honored to have had them as my videographers. Getting to relive our wedding day through these videos is priceless. Thank you Holly and Ryan for choosing us! We highly recommend your work.

We had Holly and Ryan as our videographers for our wedding and could not be happier with our decision. They made us feel super comfortable and were easy to talk to and truly got to know us. We didn’t feel awkward or like we were being followed ...
around, that was one of our concerns when we were looking for videographers. We honestly didn’t even notice cameras the day of the wedding. We are so thankful we now have something to watch for years and years to come that truly captured our big day. We also decided to get the teaser highlight and absolutely loved getting to watch that on our honeymoon just days after the wedding!! Just the teaser alone is amazing. We can’t say enough great things, thank you thank you Holly and Ryan!! 🤗

about a thing. The day was so real, raw and breathtaking that we had to create it in the same way. Your day has inspired us for many weddings to come. Thank you for being you.

our wedding over and over again! You wanted that destination wedding feel and you two absolutely nailed it! It was inspiring. Your first dance is and probably will also always be my favorite! you guys are amazing!
Such a BLESSING - AMAZING AMAZING❤️ Finding holly and ryan was such a blessing. After searching for months for the perfect videographer I found a couple of there videos. I automatically got this tingly feeling all over me and knew they were the...
ones. They had a meeting with us before the big day just to understand our love for each other and to get a full 365 understanding of how we met and how we feel in love. My husband and I instantly felt like they were part of our extended family. They showed up early on our big day and holly walked me through every moment and reminded me not to look at the clock and just take it all in because time didn’t matter when I was about to marry the love of my life. The Video is SPECTACULAR! More than we could of ever asked for. My husband and I both cried!! You will no go wrong hiring Holly and Ryan! Honestly I will never ever forget how special they made my day. Thank you guys so much! You are two truly gifted and talented people!!! LOVE LOVE ❤️
I knew I wanted Holly and Ryan to cover my wedding day after seeing what an amazing job they did capturing my sisters wedding the previous year. My husband and I live in Dallas (but got married in Austin) so we got to know Holly and Ryan over S...
kype. We felt like they truly wanted to get to know us which was nice since they would be capturing the most important day of our lives! Holly and Ryan are SO creative and artistic. They put together the most beautiful highlight video for us along with videos of the toasts and full ceremony. My husband and I didn't know exactly what we wanted in our video and probably weren't much help when asked about our preferences. This didn't stop Holly and Ryan from getting to know our story, figuring out what was important to us, and creating the most perfect film that was exactly what we wanted (we just didn't know it yet)! I would highly recommend Purely Ruined Studios and am so thankful we were able to have them capture our special day.
Holly and Ryan with Purely Ruined Studios are absolutely amazing. They take the time to get to know their couples and really give them a unique video that really represents the couple. Every single one of their videos are different and don’t fo...
llow a pattern or template like some other videographers out there. I wanted an original video that wasn't going to be just like the others. I wanted it to be a fun, upbeat video that really captured my husband and me as a couple. I think that Purely Ruined hit the nail on the head with our video. We absolutely love everything about our video. They were able to capture the love and silliness of our wedding day and also highlight some of our favorite moments throughout the day. We cannot wait to watch this every year on our anniversary!
Holly and Ryan were very professional, quick to answer my many emails/questions, and always willing to listen to my thoughts. Also, Holly was so supportive on my wedding day when family members were stressed out and running all over the place. She really helped me not get swept up in the mess of it all and reassured me that it would be fine! My husband and I both really enjoyed getting to know them throughout this process and even asked them to hang out with us after the wedding was all over and done with. :)
We could not recommend Purely Ruined Studios more. They go above and beyond to make their clients day and really prioritize their couples over anything else. They even provided us a few stills from our video to use for Holiday Cards this year since our photos aren't ready yet! In my opinion, Holly and Ryan are the most talented and down to earth videographers in the Austin area. I wish them all the success in the world and truly think that all couples should use them for their wedding day. Thank you Purely Ruined Studios!
In the interest of full disclosure, we did not get to use the Gereckes for our wedding video, but ONLY because we didn't live here or know them at the time we got married. We have since seen their work and witnessed their passion and without a ...
doubt would hire them for ours if we had it to do it over again. Also, coming from someone who has videoed weddings myself, I can say their videos are completely unique and like nothing we had seen before. It's more than simply editing video together, you'd think a TLC film crew had just filmed and edited your wedding as a documentary to be aired on television. But most importantly, they are trustworthy, reliable, and consider this more than a job - rather as a calling to bless others. We highly recommend PurelyRuined!
We couldn't have been more happy with the level of service that was provided to us from Holly and Ryan.
They were the perfect fit for us and our wedding. We love how the team fit right in with our wedding and the guests. We got raves from all...
of our guests about the friendliness and professionalism.
If you are looking for ease, not in your face, creativeness, friendly, worth the dollar amount, then Holly and Ryan are for you. Thank you so much, with all of our love and gratefulness

We had a fantastic experience working with Holly and Ryan!!! First of all, I'm a huge fan of all of the videos on their website. I heard about them through a family friend who worked with them for their wedding in Shiner, TX, and they lived up ...
to the rave reviews. We had a great time working with them- their laid back personalities and showing how they really cared about our story in the questionnaire and meeting before and how invested they were in the moment. They know how to capture a love story at the core. It'll be the best decision you make...besides your bride/groom ;)
BEST DECISION EVER!!!! Holly and Ryan with Purely Ruined not only are talented, creative, & organized, They truly became a part of our wedding weekend!! My husband and I booked them for not only our wedding day but also for our rehearsal dinner...
. Holly and Ryan cared so much about our family and friends and the connections we had with everyone. They made it a point to have meetings with us before the wedding to get to know us on a personal level & ask us about the people that would be in our wedding. That made such a difference!! Our wedding film was so AMAZING. Not only was it beautifully made, but they told a story throughout the entire film. I believe since they made a point to actually get to know us as a couple, that showed throughout our film! They also gave us a full video of our ceremony and toasts. To be able to look back and attend your own wedding again through a visual film is so precious! We get to relive that weekend whenever we choose. :) We got to have a viewing with them when they released our film, which was such a fun day.
And Lastly, I remember sitting in the bridal suite the morning of our wedding and Holly was right there with me. She made feel so calm the morning of. She really just felt like just one of the girls, which was so nice!
I have been so pleased with Purely Ruined. They are the best!
Holly and Ryan become more than a company you hire for your wedding,they become your friends. You don't see them as someone you talk to once or twice before your wedding. They checkup on you to make sure everything is going well an to see if yo...

worked on our wedding day ensure that everything ran smoothly. When I got fixated on a few minor decor details, Holly was right there to bring me back to the realization that it was my wedding day and that the only important thing was that my husband and I were about to be married. We are ever so thankful that these two were able to capture every important moment in our wedding, and we will cherish our wedding video for years to come.
We couldn't be happier with our wedding video from PurelyRuinded Studios. Holly and Ryan are so talented and made our dream wedding video that will we cherish forever. They are an amazing team and work so efficiently together. Holly and Ryan ar...

We cannot thank them enough for putting so much time and effort into creating our wedding film! We are so grateful for the special moments they captured and thankful they were apart of our special day :)
How can I describe how amazing Holly and Ryan are in only a few short words? From day one they made sure to get to know my husband and I on a personal level. Holly took us out for coffee and met with me on a few occasions. She kept in touch and...
I felt like she had become one of my closest friends. After our wedding and we received our videos - our friends and family were in complete awe of how incredible the videos turned out. Because of Holly and Ryan, we will be able to relive our special day for forever with an absolutely beautiful film. Thank you both for so beautifully capturing our wedding day!
Holly and Ryan are absolutely amazing to work with and a joy to be around!! They helped make our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined! They are absolutely worth every penny!
Amazing video!! We loved every second of it. They had extenuating circumstances so the video was delayed. They did talk to us about this so it was still professional.
Holly & Ryan were an absolute joy to work with. Not only did they create the absolute best videos we could have ever imagined, they also added to the fun of the day with their presence. They worked so smoothly together and with us, it felt like...

HOLY COW. AMAZING. TALENTED. PROFESSIONAL. SWEET. ROMANTIC. OUTSTANDING.
It is difficult to know where to start on my experience with Purely Ruined Studios. From the very beginning, they were amazing. I met them at the bridal extravaganza in...
Austin and I am so glad that I did. My husband and I felt such a strong connection to them but unfortunately couldn’t afford a videographer to fit within our budget. Ryan and Holly worked with us on pricing and pursued our priorities and desires so well. They were extremely communicative and responsive to our suggestions throughout the entire planning process. At the wedding, they were AMAZING. They were so sweet, encouraging and professional. They made us feel so special and cared for – my entire family absolutely loved them and had so many nice things to say about them. Holly and Ryan made us feel so encouraged and excited about our day. After the wedding, they remained in contact with us almost weekly to keep us updated on the progress of the video. We knew we liked Ryan and Holly as people and agreed that they were so wonderful to have at the wedding…we did expect to have a wonderful video from these two, but it hugely exceeded our expectations. The quality, the amount of footage captured and the flow of the video were extraordinary. We felt so much love at our wedding and the video that they made captured ALL of the love SO WELL. My husband and I watched it together and both had tears streaming down our faces as we watched it. After seeing what they did for us, I can’t imagine not having them. They have been such a blessing so my husband and I and we would hire them over and over again. We would HIGHLY recommend them to film your wedding!
I absolutely loved this couple. My husband and I met Holly & Ryan at a wedding show. We loved there videos and their personality and immediately booked them. They are such a friendly couple. They even met us halfway between Austin and San Anton...
io to do our meeting about the wedding and paid for our ice cream. I just thought that was a thoughtful touch. Thankfully, since we signed with them at the show we got a nice discount.
They video'd the whole day from make up to send off and were such a joy having them there. Holly fit in so well with my group of girls so it wasn't awkward having her there hanging out with us! I can't wait to see how the video is going to turn out!
Needless to say I loved them and we are like besties now!
