t that much compared to the rest. Henry once asked us what we wanted out of his video, and he said that he asks that question more as a formality because there is probably something subconscious that drew us to him in the first place. We agree. There are some things that are easy to highlight. His videos are incredibly stable with very little jerky camera movement. They are edited thoughtfully and intentionally. He has clearly honed his craft and has excellent technical proficiency. The most important aspects though felt hard to articulate, and we only realized them after all the events. Henry and his team worked extremely hard throughout the weekend. They worked five days, morning and evenings, across four separate large events and numerous smaller rituals. Henry and his team were always there, capturing the small joys as well as the large flashy moments. He’s already shared some films, and we are really impressed with how well he captures the emotions of the guests alongside the speeches and performances. The teaser he made feels not only like a trailer to our wedding but somehow a perfect encapsulation of a very sentimental week into a poignant minute. Capturing that level of authenticity is the real magic behind Henry’s films. Henry was also such a welcome presence. His humor added some much-needed levity. We also really appreciated his advice, which always felt so sincere and thoughtful. He clearly wanted us to have the best weekend possible, and that warmth helped us feel relaxed and in our element. He made a comment online about how speeches were one of his favorite aspects of a wedding. He wrote, “What’s a wedding film without the voices of your loved ones? There’s something so beautiful about the words exchanged during a wedding because they almost seem unnecessary. You know how your best friends feel about you, your relationship with your parents, your feelings for your significant other. Yet here we are, expressing them anyways.” That stuck with us because we think that is the subtext that drew us to Henry in the first place, that made us select him so quickly. Like those speeches, his videos capture those genuine emotions, expressing them even if they may seem unnecessary, giving us a glimpse into the voices we missed in all the craziness. Watching his videos, we are able to relive the wedding from multiple new angles, experiencing it from fresh perspectives. We couldn’t ask for anything more.
