Wedding Date on Jul 30, 2021

Every wedding film I've ever shot and edited has taken a little piece of me. Jessica and Tony's film, however, took a piece that's bigger than most. The two New York City residents traded the Hudson River for a picture perfect day on the shores of Lake Erie at Ariel International Center. Dozens and dozens of friends and family members from New York, Ohio and beyond joined them. However, both Tony and Jessica lost beloved family members just prior to their wedding day. As I was editing their film, I called Jessica to get her thoughts on a question I had and she responded with a quote that, in my opinion, so beautifully encapsulates their day. "What is grief, if not love persevering?"
