This video just hits me a little bit differently. Using AI to bring a beautiful moment like this back to life is absolutely incredible. Seeing Dawne and me dancing, spinning, and just having so much fun together captures exactly how I remember us. The energy, the music, and the pure happiness in this video make it such a beautiful way to keep her amazing spirit alive.

I was going for a totally unstoppable, mission-ready look in this video! I brought out the Louis Vuitton energy for a world that never slows down, focusing on confidence, motion, and cinematic intensity instead of loud action. It is all about moving smoothly from calm to chaos, and this luxury, modern spy aesthetic is always a fun style to play around with.

I love looking at this special photo of Dawne and me because it really captures what we had together. It was never just a marriage; it was a true, deep partnership and a bond that did not even need words. Even though she passed away in December 2016, that amazing connection we shared does not just disappear. She was my person, my partner, and the true love of my life, and keeping memories like this close to my heart means everything to me.

This picture really says it all for me when I look back at it. It captures the incredible bond I have with Dawne absolutely perfectly. It is not just about being husband and wife, but about being true partners who always balance each other out, which you can easily see right here with her bright smile and my serious look. Building this beautiful life together has been the best part of my entire journey.

Here is one last shot to wrap up our reimagined Wildwood series. Dawne and I went with matching black shirts for this one, and even though it is a really simple look, sometimes simple is just better. I absolutely love how these artistic photos turned out, because they take a regular day of us hanging out at home and make it feel like a professional studio photoshoot.

We made sure to save these two great photos for the very end of our Wildwood series! First, we decided to match up with a sleek, simple black on black look that felt a little bit dressier. Then, for the final shot, we went right back to the style that started it all with my denim jacket and her turtleneck. It has been so awesome seeing these everyday moments of us at home reimagined into such cool art.

We are officially closing out the reimagined album with these last two frames from Wildwood. We tried out two completely different looks that day, with a button-down shirt and a turtleneck, and looking at them side-by-side, I really cannot decide which one I like better! They both capture that exact same feeling of just being happy together at home, and this whole project was such a fun way to see ourselves in a brand new light.

We are finally wrapping up our reimagined series with two totally different vibes! First, we have one last intense shot from our denim and turtleneck set, but then we have a really great candid one taken in the library. I absolutely love the library photo because it feels so much more relaxed, showing us just laughing and hanging out at home. Whether we are posing for cool art or just being ourselves, I am so glad we have these special memories captured.

We kept the camera rolling right by the window because the natural light was just too good to pass up for these Wildwood photos! I really like the artistic, reimagined style of these pictures. It takes a completely regular photo of Dawne and me just hanging out at home and gives it such a cool, polished look. Dawne looks absolutely beautiful here, and these are definitely going to find a permanent spot on our wall.

We found a really great spot right by the window for this picture. This might actually be the most peaceful shot of the entire bunch, just capturing a quiet moment at home in Wildwood with the warm sun shining in. I love how this reimagined art style makes a simple second in time feel so incredibly special. Dawne looks amazing here, and I am just so happy to be sitting right there with her.

Here is one more picture from our reimagined series at home in Wildwood. I honestly think this one might be my absolute favorite of the bunch because it is just a simple, happy moment between Dawne and me. The denim jacket, the black turtleneck, and our big smiles all just work together so perfectly. It is really funny how a simple picture can freeze a wonderful feeling like that forever.

We are finally rounding out our reimagined art series from Wildwood! We tried a few different looks for these, with some being super casual and others a little more styled, but they all share that exact same comfortable feeling. It was all about just being at home, enjoying the moment together, and letting the camera do the rest of the work. These unique portraits are definitely keepers!

We decided to fully channel our inner 007 for this fun picture! This reimagined photo puts Dawne and me right in the middle of a classic James Bond movie scene. I am rocking a sharp tuxedo, and Dawne looks absolutely stunning in her elegant white gown. It is definitely a whole lot fancier than our usual Friday nights at home, but it is always fun to pretend to be international spies for a minute!

More Wildwood Portraits Here are a couple more of those reimagined shots from Wildwood. I really like how these turned out. There is something about the style—the denim jacket, the black turtleneck—that feels classic but still very much "us." It is cool to see a regular photo transformed into something that looks a bit more like art.

A Reimagined Moment in Wildwood Here is a special photo of me and Dawne, but with a little artistic twist. It’s a "reimagined" portrait, and I really love the warm, classic feel it has. This was taken at our place in Wildwood, Missouri. It’s a nice change from a regular snapshot, and it really captures a happy moment for us.

Dawne and I have squeezed into plenty of photobooths over the years, doing everything from making funny monster faces to barely fitting inside for a piggyback ride, but this picture is definitely the upgrade! We took that classic booth energy, full of laughter, closeness, and fun, and gave it a complete black-tie glow up. It is still the exact same us, just looking a little bit more polished for the camera!

We took this picture all the way from the cramped corners of a mall photobooth right into the studio! Dawne and I decided to take our signature funny piggyback pose and give it the full black-tie formal treatment. It is a wonderful reminder that no matter how formal the occasion is or how much our lives change, the fun and silly foundation of our relationship always stays exactly the same.

Here is another absolute gem from our 2003 family trip down to Mississippi! While our previous shot was a perfectly planned pose, this one captures the funny, candid reality of the day. Dawne is all smiles for the camera, while little Devon decided to play shy and bury his face in laughter. It is such a sweet, spontaneous snapshot of our family travel adventures in the early 2000s.

This was the perfect way to end a really relaxed evening out together! Dawne and I decided to swap our cocktails for coffee so we could settle in and enjoy the rest of the acoustic set.
