VANESSA &
RYAN
We first met over coffee in Seattle. They told me about Bumble, about Japan, about how their first date turned into every date after that. I could already see the two of them through my lens, calm, warm, in sync.
On the wedding day, everything unfolded gently. Morning light through curtains, a dress hanging in the window. Her mom buttoning the sleeves. Him adjusting his tie, pausing like he couldn’t believe it was real.
The ceremony was simple—just the two of them and the people who mattered most, standing in a garden tucked into the Cascades. I remember their hands shaking just a bit as they read their vows.
This film is about the in-between. That’s what I focused on while filming. The texture of their voices. The way they held each other’s gaze.
