Daniela & Ivan’s Cinematic Engagement Film

There is something incredibly powerful about hearing a love story told out loud. While photos capture a moment in time, a cinematic story film captures the voice, the laughter, and the shared history that makes a couple unique.

Recently, we had the honor of sitting down with Daniela and Ivan for their engagement session. But this wasn't just about beautiful shots in golden hour light; it was about documenting the "how" and "why" of their journey together.

The Beginning: Two Perspectives, One Spark

Every couple remembers their first meeting differently. In their film, Daniela and Ivan take turns recounting those early days. It’s a beautiful reminder that even when two people experience the same moment, the feelings and details they carry with them are beautifully unique.

As they talk about what they have in common—from their shared values to the little hobbies that keep them laughing—you can see the genuine connection that has been built over time. It’s these commonalities that form the foundation of a marriage, and seeing them interact on camera makes that bond feel tangible.

The "Yes" That Changed Everything

Of course, no engagement story is complete without the proposal. Hearing Ivan describe the nerves and the planning, contrasted with Daniela’s surprise and joy, creates a narrative that is far more moving than a simple social media announcement.

"We wanted to create something that didn't just show what they look like, but showed who they are together."

Why Every Couple Needs a Story Film

At Anette & Miguel photo and video, we often tell our couples that these videos are a gift to their future selves.

As the years go by, memories can naturally fade. You might forget exactly how his voice shook when he talked about the proposal, or the specific way she laughed when describing your first date. A cinematic story film acts as a living time capsule.

It’s a way to remind yourselves—on your 10th, 25th, or 50th anniversary—exactly how it all started. It’s a legacy piece that can be shared with children and grandchildren, letting them hear your love story in your own words.
