Parisian Winter Wedding
January 2018 : Allie & Joe
Love in the City of Romance : A Parisian Winter Wedding
Picture this: a friend's wedding at the illustrious Ritz Paris, the City of Love serving as the backdrop, and the entire celebration immortalized on Super 8 film. Could it get any more enchanting?
Allie and Joe have a love like no other - and there's nothing like being right there in the midst of the moment, cheering on your friends as they embark on their happily ever after.
As a wedding filmmaker, I'm accustomed to witnessing and documenting the love stories of countless couples. However, attending a friend's wedding in the heart of Paris was an entirely different affair. The Ritz Paris, an iconic symbol of luxury and romance, set the stage for a celebration that felt like a fairy tale come to life.
From the flowers, to the speeches, to the venue, to the hand painted invitations….the beauty of their connection was reflected throughout the entirety of the day. With a Super 8 Camera in hand, I made my best attempt to capture the essence of their forever love.
A Story Worth Telling
As the night drew to a close, and the last strains of music filled the air, I marveled at the beauty of celebrating love, not just as a filmmaker but as a friend. Paris had woven its magic into the tapestry of this unforgettable day, and the Super 8 film had captured it all—the whispers of love, the stolen glances, and the shared laughter.
Attending a friend's wedding in the City of Romance was a reminder that love, in all its forms, is a story worth telling. And sometimes, the most magical tales are the ones we get to experience, not behind the lens, but alongside the people we hold dear.
