Sal + Alissa // Teaser

Sal & Alissa got married.  They wanted me to show up with a video camera.  Their magic happened, and now it’s my turn.
The edit is always the hardest part of the whole project… there’s so much footage to review and stack into my brain, labeling this, cutting that.
It takes a while to get a project [...]

I setup the studio with a [...]
