a film by joel serrato

August 17, 2010




Here is the incredible Super 8 film that Joel Serrato shot. I can't get over how beautiful the lighting looks and I love the songs Joel chose. It's so sweet and magical! Joel really captured the day so well. Looking back on this, I feel like I'm there. Film is such a great source of memories. I'm glad Matthew and I will always have this to look back on and remember this special experience!




Cinematography by Joel Serrato Films

  1. Mara- Just a heads up- the video doesn't appear in the reader, so I went to Joel's site thinking that was where to see the video and couldn't find it. I thought you might wanna tell folks to make sure they come to your blog to find the video. Very beautiful by the way.
