Working with Jonathan was truly something magical. He didn’t just film our elopement—he translated who we are, our connection, and the joy of our day into something so moving and t...ouching that we still tear up every time we watch it. The video he created feels like stepping back into the moment: our humor, our tenderness, our playful side, the quiet looks, the big laughter—all of it is there, living and breathing.
Jonathan made us feel entirely comfortable and seen. There was zero pressure, no staged moments that felt unnatural. We were simply ourselves—open, relaxed, and genuinely present with each other—and he captured that as if he had known us forever. It felt like having a dear friend with us, gently and skillfully holding our memories.
And then—the music. The fact that he chose a song titled Butterfly, knowing that “Butterfly” is my nickname, was astonishingly thoughtful. It was one of those touches that makes you stop and feel the heart behind the work. That detail alone says everything about how intentional and attentive he is.
The video itself is breathtaking… cinematic yet intimate, beautiful yet honest. It feels like a timeless classic—the kind of film you treasure forever and show future generations. We genuinely felt like movie stars, but in the most authentic, this is who we really are way.
Because our elopement was just the two of us, this video is how our loved ones will experience the day—and Jonathan allowed them not just to see it, but to feel it. Every person who has watched it has told us they cried. And we did too.
Jonathan gave us the gift of reliving the most meaningful day of our lives, exactly as it felt. We will be forever grateful!!
