22 Dec Cherry & John Menard Wedding Day

Filming a Texas Wedding with Cherry and John Menard…

It’s been a pleasure getting to know Cherry. She’s one of the first people I met when I moved to Austin to attend business school and start Moth to Flame. We met on the set of a short production called “American Roulette” directed by Alex Murphy, which happens to be the first project I produced in Austin. Ever since, we have been working together on various projects, from commercials to short films, and finally my debut feature, Funemployment.

I was also one of the lucky ones to be able to hang out with Cherry and John together when they just started to date. I recall that the first time I met John was seeing him perform on stage at Lamberts, a restaurant. She had convinced me to come out since I was having a difficult time dealing with my own break up. Seeing how excited and happy she was around John gave me peace that hopefully one day I’d feel the same way again about someone else as well.

It was a pleasure being asked to film Cherry and her lovely wedding. She looked amazing, as always. I must say the wedding was more of a live concert than a wedding, the performers dressed in wedding clothing… whatever it was, it was beautiful, full of love, and laughter. We are very thankful to be a part of it.

We just hope this trailer does justice to show what an amazing event it was.
