Being around wedding after wedding, it really takes an effort to distinguish them all from each other and prevent them from blending together in the mind. However, it was fairly simple to distinguish Jiami “Charming” and Stephen’s wedding. Throughout the entire day, there was so much joy in both Stephen and Jiami. From the moment the ceremony began, a contagious joy spread like a tidal wave as Stephen set foot next to the altar awaiting his bride to the goodbyes as guests parted ways at the night’s end. More importantly, the two made it clear that their wedding aimed to share the lasting joy they each had found by a having a personal relationship with God. Overall, it was a blessed day, and we enjoyed every part of it. 

Way to go Charming and Stephen, you made it so easy to capture the fun, charm and beauty of your relationship all day. I know as you continue to set foot on this earth, that you will give glory to God and love those around you. Thanks for the opportunity to make this film.

Special thanks to Morgan Lott who came along as a trusty dandy documentarian to help out. We had a blast partying it up on the dance floor, taking obnoxious pictures with ridiculous props @ the Snappy Joe Photo Booth (snappyjoe.com/​) hanging with Marianne Lozano who shot some gorgeous stills and was a blast to work with (see her work @ portfolio.studiolozano.com)
