A Redwood Wedding in the Santa Cruz Mountains

Nestldown, Los Gatos CA

About Their Film

Some wedding days carry more than one story, and Rui and Brian's carried the whole arc of becoming a family. Their path to parenthood wasn't an easy one, which made the presence of their daughter, and the way they moved toward and around her all day, feel like the truest part of the film. What stood out most was the quiet weight of the people who'd walked that road with them: family and friends who'd shown up through the hard seasons, now standing together to witness the celebration on the other side of it. This isn't just a wedding film. It's a portrait of a family, held up by the people who never left.
