Not all prewedding journeys begin with a crystal-clear concept, and that is perfectly fine. Some couples come with every detail mapped out, while others remain open to ideas and trust the process.

Brian & Deanna’s journey was shaped by that openness; through conversations, shared curiosity, and mutual trust from the very beginning. Because of that, it remains one of the most memorable trips for me.

When destinations were first discussed, Austria was their main choice. I then suggested Budapest. There was something about the riverside castles, darker tones, and cinematic atmosphere that felt like a natural match for them. The idea of shooting by the river and exploring the city by boat aligned beautifully with the story we wanted to tell, and the couple connected with it immediately.

Austria followed as a contrast, offering softer scenery, calm energy, and iconic landscapes. It is also a destination rarely chosen for pre-weddings, which made the experience feel even more special.

With new locations, uncertainties are inevitable. Light, weather, and the rhythm of each place all played a role. Instead of becoming obstacles, Brian and Deanna embraced them as part of the creative process, which pushed us to deliver our best.

What truly made this trip memorable was the shared experience. Living in one Airbnb, cooking together, laughing, and navigating small, unexpected moments created a genuine connection.

The goal of this film was simple: to create something cinematic and artistic. It serves as a timeless memory of love that feels natural and unforced for the couple.

Yet for us, it’s also a reminder that trust and collaboration can turn a pre-wedding into a meaningful journey, not just a production.
