All through their wedding planning process, one word kept coming to the forefront: intention. There was so much intention in everything they did to bring their day together. They even created their own invitations modeled off of Gloriosa’s gorgeous weathervane. When planning their story session, they pitched the idea of going canoeing followed by a tandem bike and a picnic. On the outside it would feel like just a fun way to get to know them, but what they were doing was re-creating their first date.

Those moments allowed us to catch a glimpse of what J + E are like outside of the heightened energy of a wedding day. We got to see that in the way they laughed and weaved down a trail on a tandem bicycle. We got to feel it in the way Emily effortlessly cuddled into Jess. Those moments became the foundation for the rest of the film. When their vows ended up mirroring exactly what we captured in their story session, it became such a full-circle moment. With such beautiful story elements, we wanted J + E to be the authors of this story. Because they tell it best and we love watching their love. It’s a warm and inviting love - one that feels like there’s never been a time before it. We wanted their voices and emotions to shine through and let the visuals softly and intimately carry you along.
