The Terwilligers

A Wedding Film Rooted in Presence & Joy

Some wedding days feel like a deep breath. The kind you didn’t know you needed until you finally take it.The Terwilligers’ wedding was exactly that.

From the very beginning, their day felt intentional — unhurried, grounded, and full of quiet joy. It wasn’t about spectacle or perfection. It was about being there. With each other. With their people. With the moment unfolding right in front of them.

They exchanged vows surrounded by the soft hum of conversation, the kind laughter of family, and a golden light that seemed to linger just a little longer than expected. There were teary eyes, gentle smiles, and that unmistakable look couples give each other when the world falls away for a second and it’s just them.

As a filmmaker, days like this are a gift. Nothing needed forcing. Nothing needed staging. The beauty was already there — in the way they held hands during the ceremony, in the way friends leaned in close during toasts, in the quiet moments between events where real life happens.

Their film is a reflection of who they are: warm, steady, and deeply connected. It captures the big moments, yes — the vows, the celebration, the dancing — but also the in-between ones. The breaths. The glances. The pauses. The memories you don’t always realize you’ll want to remember until years later.

Terwilligers, thank you for trusting me to tell your story. Your day was a reminder that the most meaningful weddings aren’t about doing more — they’re about feeling more. And yours was felt in every frame.

Here’s to a marriage full of presence, laughter, and moments worth coming back to again and again 🤍
