Super 8 films OR “an experiment in merriment”. No one wedding day is like the other and neither are these nostalgic wedding films!

Even though it was hot as could be this September at Felt Mansion, it couldn’t stop from Letting Abbie & Tom’s love from opening the doors (a little play on their first dance song “Let My Love Open the Doors”).

Oh wow, what could I say about these two that has not already been said from their most beloved friends and family? I will never forget starting the wedding weekend sitting across from Jill’s dad at Pepp & Dolores like part of the family. We got served some of the best food from J&Js favorite spot right around the corner from where they live while all their best friends and family stood up and gave speeches that were equal parts funny, sentimental, and honoring.

A hazy sunset, Lake Michigan, a bald eagle, some Super 8 fun, and a whole lot of beautiful with Abbie & Tom!

J&J, in their home. Exposed brick walls. Delicious smells coming from the bakery below. Even better food made by them inside. I got to eat supper with them, to be invited into their home & lives where the evening light hits hard in their office room while they watched the people & traffic below in Over the Rhine.

2022 was the year of bringing film back into my life. Shooting film has allowed me to put phone away and be more in the moment with my family. I even invested in a Super 8 camera so I could take videos on film. This was a year of adding yet another baby girl, Hazel Hope, and of celebration.
