Love Story: Jill + Steve

September 25th, 2012 Permalink

We get to meet soooooo many awesome couples doing what we do but the second I sat down with Jill and Steve I knew we had to shoot their wedding film. They might be one of the cutest/cutest/awesomest couples ever. Seeing them interact with each other made me that much more excited when they wanted a Love Story. I knew that not only would they be great on camera but that their story would be fun and told in a way that makes why they are perfect for each other apparent to anyone that meets them. So without further delay I give you the story of Jill and Steve. I know you are going to love them!!!

Normally when we shoot Love Story Films we do it months before the wedding day and have tons of time to prep it for a couples wedding. Well Megan and Phillip are the exception to that rule… Phillip just got back from being deployed. He literally arrived back in town and we shot their Love Story on Monday to be played this Saturday at their wedding. Congratulations to Megan and Phillip. We can’t wait to be a part of documenting your love.

Adorable…. And that’s all I’m going to say…. I present to you the Love Story of Paige and Conor.

My little Sarah is getting married. It has been so fun to watch her progress through her relationship and watch her fall in love. I couldn’t be happier for her and can’t wait to see her walk through the journey of marriage.

So this is Sarah and Jeff’s Love Story. Below is Sarah’s perspective of her Love Story.

Isn’t it great to be in love?  One great part about my job is that I get to hear someone’s love story, capture it, and being able to present it to others so that everyone can have just a tiny glimpse of what it feels like to be madly and deeply in love with someone.  I’ve done a few Love Stories at my time here at Serendipity, but this one has been the most challenging.  Why?  Because this story is my own.

That’s right my friends – My own wedding is coming up fast, so Jeff Bills got together with our lead Cinematographer to shoot this Love Story for us while my Jeff was down visiting me in April!  I was able to edit together something that I feel really shows who Jeff and I are; I love the music, I love our interview, and I love the candid shots of us.

I could not be happier with the way it turned out.  It was really hard at first to edit myself (“Is that really what I sound like?”  “Why do I talk out of the side of my mouth like that?!”), but got easier the more I focused on the story, and not on myself.  And isn’t that the way any good relationship goes?  The less you focus on yourself the easier it becomes.  I’m SO happy to have this Love story – so that when hard times arise, I can always look back on it and remember why it was that I fell in love with this baby-faced man.

So in closing I would just like to say that I love Jeffrey.  He is the sweetest man that I know and takes care of me so well, and I can not wait to be with him for Eternity.  I just feel like the luckiest girl ever!!  I hope that as you watch this, you can feel a small bit of that love as well.

I dig this couple… Shawna and Chad are two of the most down to earth cool people ever. What a pleasure it was to shoot their Love Story and their Wedding Film. Take a look at Shawna and Chad’s story of their love.
