Weronika & Archie – A Timeless Wedding Story

Some stories deserve more than a few minutes. This one deserved a full film.

Set in the stunning palace gardens of Janów, Weronika & Archie said "yes" during an elegant outdoor humanist ceremony surrounded by history, candlelight, and emotion. This day was filled with tears, laughter, love and unforgettable moments – all beautifully captured in a film that transcends the genre of a typical wedding video.

This is not a wedding highlight. It’s a cinematic journey that merges modern digital filmmaking with the nostalgic texture of Super8 film. From static, emotion-filled frames to sweeping aerial shots, every scene is crafted with intention and heart.

This is more than a film. It’s a timeless memory, carefully told.

Director Statement

For me, a wedding is more than just an event – it’s a deeply emotional, cinematic journey. With Weronika & Archie, I wanted to capture not only the elegance of the palace setting but also the raw intimacy of their humanist vows and the authenticity of their connection. I used an analog DS8 film camera to evoke a nostalgic, timeless aesthetic, blending analog textures with modern cinematic composition.

My goal was to give this celebration an artistic dimension – to show that a wedding ceremony can be a form of art, told from a perspective we’re not used to seeing. I focus on emotion and detail – the subtle looks, the light, the movement. And then, in editing, I spend countless hours making sure every frame, every transition, every sound is perfectly placed to tell the story as honestly and beautifully as possible.

I draw inspiration from Lorenzo Media Productions, a remarkable American wedding filmmaker, but always add my own vision. I want all of my films to have a cinematic look – timeless, emotional, and rich in atmosphere.
