Wedding Date on May 14, 2022

This is the teaser film for Anna and Sam's special Joshua Tree Wedding day. The poem you hear is one spoken during their ceremony. One special to Anna and Sam and I felt it tied in perfectly to their day. "The films that I create radiate the people I get to serve, and I'm convinced that that is the secret ingredient to it all" I wrote this in an email to Anna + Sam after sending them this film and feel like it accurately portrays where my heart has been in my work as of late Leaning more into the heart of it all. The immense overwhelm of holding onto a moment- a sweet, lingering hug (you know which ones I'm talking about), when you look over and hold your loved one's hand when it gets tough (one of my favorite, hard to find moments from this film between A's grandparents), a gentle moment of comfort to wipe away the tears, nature moving around (and with) you (oooof this one). Anna described her love with Sam to me as "a quiet constant"-- something that inspired me throughout this whole edit. The music is soft and remains consistent with no extremely jarring builds or effects, the moments are subtle and quiet in their own way, but so full of soul and love. These two met in college, did the whole long distance thing, and fell even more in love. Their day was filled with so many special moments. Anna's mom passed away, and they honored her throughout the ceremony and day with pictures and sweet words spoken from family and friends. Her grandparents helped raise her and were present on the day as well, also honoring their late daughter (Anna's mom).
