Not every couple wants a short, punchy trailer before their wedding day some want the opposite. Cristina and Andrea, ahead of their wedding on Saturday, September 12th, 2020, asked for exactly that: a longer, more unhurried pre-wedding film rather than a quick highlight reel.

Their wedding day itself was shaping up to be a genuinely special one a ceremony at the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Certosa, in Milan, with gospel music planned inside the church, and a reception afterward at Il Fontanile in Gandosso, in the Bergamo hills, complete with light-up balloons planned for the cake cutting. But this particular film is all about the calm before that the two of them together, away from the schedule and the guest list, with nothing to perform for.

Photography for the day was handled by Bottega Incontroluce, and on second camera with me was Sasha.
