Skytop Lodge Wedding

Emery & Ron pulled up at Skytop Lodge on Friday afternoon, the day before their wedding. "Hey guys!" I said as they crossed the bridge to the lodge. “How was your trip from Arizona?”

We were at Skytop a day before their wedding to do a story session. There was a lot we already knew about them, but we found out a lot, too. I love doing these story sessions – it’s win-win situation where we get to develop deeper relationships and also make a more compelling film. For Emery & Ron, this allowed them to go into great detail about how they met (We are – Penn State!), their love for Las Vegas, and the grief of not having of Emery's late father at their wedding. You can film certain symbolisms, but having somebody talk about them puts context behind a shot and allows for them to put a story into their own words. When I was editing their ceremony, I noticed a bird that flew through the frame in such a way that made me stop and think for a second. I'm in no position to say what that may have represented, but it did give me a warm feeling.
