Happy Endings. The Definition of an American Romantic Comedy. Brooke and Kory not only have the happy ending, but all the in-betweens of the American Romantic Comedy baked right into their story. Upon having our initial conversation with these two, we loved how open and brutally honest they are. You see, Brooke and Kory didn’t have the perfect fairytale romance even though they were technically high school sweethearts. Brooke and Kory did what most high school couples do and ventured their separate ways to grow on their own and experience life outside the confines of their high school relationship. If you ever ask Brooke how she refers to her breaks with Kory, she will affectionately inform you that she has split her chapters with Kory by the monikers of “Kory 1” and “Kory 2”. A blunt, yet endearing embrace of the truth of their relationship. We are firm believers that true love takes time to grow and sometimes that involves going your separate ways to be sure that what you have is real. In the case of Brooke and Kory, it most certainly is very real and we are honored to share a small portion of their story with you.
When looking for the way to put this trailer together, we were drawn to Father Jerry and his homily. Seeing that he has married several of the Hoertz family members, we felt as though his presence at the ceremony was more than just a priest presiding, but another family member giving his blessings to Brooke and Kory. Plus….if you follow us at all, you know we’re suckers for good stories and Father Jerry tells Brooke and Kory’s story perfectly during the ceremony.
A VERY special thank you and shout out to Katie Webb of Intertwined Weddings and Special Events for her help throughout the day. Katie never ceases to amaze us with her attention to detail and ability to pull off spectacular events. Filming at the one and only Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles was a great opportunity and Katie brought the reception to life with her design!
In the spirit of following the themes that our couples set on their wedding day, we found it only fitting that moving forward as they have officially started the next journey, we would call this trailer “Kory 3”. 🙂
