When Im filming Super 8, I move slowly with intention, letting the day unfold while I document the moments as they naturally happen. The morning began with the sweetest first look with her dad, and I kept the camera rolling to capture every tear, every deep breath, every squeeze of the hands. From there the ceremony was about to begin where they said their vows beneath a draping willow tree, surrounded by their closest people. The weather full of wind and a slight drizzle the light shined perfectly between each dangling branch making for a dreamy scenery. I focused on the key moments to tell the full story of their ceremony. Including the small details like the violinist, hand holds and tears running down Maria's cheeks. As cocktail hour began, the energy shifted, with donkeys wondering through carrying beers as guests gathered to pet and snag a cold one. I leaned into the moment and joy of it all, letting the film capture the spontaneity and charm. The night wrapped with fire stone pizza being cooked on the spot, clinking glasses and a live band to pump up the party. I documented it the way super 8 does best with texture, motion and that nostalgic feeling you can't quiet put into words.

This is the magic that happens when a couple Hands me their trust and lets me see their day without limits.
