Sean and Jessica at the Valentine DTLA / Wedding Preview

Sean and Jessica / October 8, 2023

“We are analogous to a co-fermented wine. Our 12 years together make us inextricably linked. We cannot be undone into our separate varietals. We are uniquely us, impossible to reproduce. And as we age and adapt to changing environments, we will become softer, more refined, hopefully investment-worthy, less alcoholic, possibly more full-bodied; but continually a better expression of ourselves. And when we grow old, I’m excited to really savor what we’ve created.” 🍷

There’s a special energy on a wedding day when the couple has already lived so much life together. Sean and Jess met over 17 years ago and have been together for over 12 (!), so “FINALLY” was definitely the word of the day. No nerves or jitters, just two people who know and love each other fully. 🫶

I especially loved the stories told in the vows here, how Jess saw Sean perform in a campus beauty pageant before they met and how Sean nearly passed out when they went to a blood drive together years later. I was able to capture so many reactions from their guests during the ceremony, and it was such a joy to see so many big smiles and tears!!! Love showing so much real emotion in a wedding film like this. It’s very very clear that this community supports these two, as I do too! Congrats on making it official, J & S 🤍
