When couples share their must-have list with us, it usually includes the vows, the first dance, and the toasts. Those matter. But the moments people end up loving most are often the ones they never thought to mention.

The quiet ones

The last few minutes before you walk down the aisle. A parent reading a card you wrote. The car ride to the reception when it finally sinks in. These scenes give a film its heartbeat.

The people around you

Your friends getting ready in the next room, your nephew asleep under a table, your grandparents dancing slowly at the edge of the floor. Tell your filmmaker who these people are, so they know where to look.
