Rory and Billy were destined to be together. Many messages, near misses and random encounters later, they decided to give it a shot. My longest engagement film to date; I had a hard time condensing their story and decided to keep it all in tact. Without further adieu, the engagement story of Rory & Billy:

After the long and fateful courtship came to a close, I had the pleasure of filming their wedding day on a warm & sunny day in July. It was a thoughtful event that included personal touches from all of their loving family and friends, one of which being his father singing at the ceremony. In a day full of beautiful moments it’s those personal touches that really shine through. Thank you for letting me bear witness to your fun day and night filled with many laughs, tears and celebration. The story of Rory and Billy has only just begun.
