Kind Words from Our Couples

The moment I send a finished film is still the most nerve-racking part of my job – and the replies are the reason I keep doing it. These are the words couples wrote to me after watching their films, exactly as they wrote them, from Iceland, Italy, France and Scotland – and, at the end, a few words from the planners I work with. Where a couple’s film is on my website, you can watch it right next to their words.
