Aryne + John — You point my compass in the right direction.

There was a lot of excite­ment behind Aryne and John’s wed­ding cel­e­bra­tion amongst the rows of vines that line Peller Estates. You could feel it in the room that evening. Not only were Aryne and John’s fam­i­ly and friends cel­e­brat­ing their love and mar­riage, but also John’s return home to Toron­to after sign­ing with the Maple Leafs just weeks before the wed­ding. And while that excite­ment amount­ed to one of the most epic par­ties (and wine cel­lar after-parties) that we’ve ever filmed, it plays a much more impor­tant role in the nar­ra­tive, where after 7 years of long-distance, John comes home to Aryne and the two are no longer bur­dened by Skype calls and squeez­ing in short vis­its to NYC where they could.

This is a sim­ple film. But there’s beau­ty in that sim­plic­i­ty. A frame­work in which a real­ly pow­er­ful, emo­tion­al sto­ry can ring out, effort­less­ly car­ried by the stun­ning footage that makes up their day. Aryne and John sim­ply want­ed their wed­ding cin­e­matog­ra­phy to reflect them and their celebration.

Hav­ing fall­en in love with Allie and Cody’s same-day edit last year, they trust­ed our vision and can­did doc­u­men­tary approach. From a shoot at their home, to the grooms­men pool par­ty, a beau­ti­ful out­door cer­e­mo­ny over­look­ing the vines, a jaw-dropping tent­ed recep­tion, and the afore­men­tioned after-party with custom-made t‑shirts for guests to sport on the dance floor, this one will have you hum­min’ from begin­ning to end.
