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!
