Our First Date

We had been friends for years. The kind of friends who knew each other's stories, showed up for each other, and somehow always had more to say. So when the first date finally happened, you would think the butterflies would skip it.

They did not.

This is a love letter to that night. The anticipation of getting ready. The blur of New York City lights through a taxi window. That strange, wonderful feeling when someone completely familiar suddenly feels brand new. Every frame edited in Premiere Pro to capture what it actually feels like when friendship quietly becomes something more.

Spoiler alert: he is now my husband. And yes, there are still butterflies from time to time.
