When Mark and Jillian said they wanted something “different” I was more than up to the task. I really wanted to bring the energy and the love of the two in their trailer and on top of that, and possibly more so, I really wanted to bring in their passions in to the style of film. We present to you Mark and Jillian’s wedding trailer!

Poem’s Translation_____
Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better.
Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer.
Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire.
Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy.
Without being praised
Without being blamed
Such a person
I want to become”
