Wedding Date on Nov 26, 2022

I always say that I want to capture couples authentically, that I don’t want their video to feel overly produced or like it doesn’t fit the actual couple. And I think that too often wedding days become about “the wedding”, and not the commitment that’s being made to each other. This was absolutely not the case for Janet and Mario, who are the one of the most authentic, genuine couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming. While their day was full of plans pivoting, they remained joyful and focused on the reason they were there: not for some instagram worthy wedding, but to get married and promise their lives to each other at the end of the day. These two are so much fun and full of personality (or “Cicconetti spirit”, as Mario would say), that I’m pretty sure the entire day I kept thinking about how I was possibly going to fit everything into one video! It was a day filled with wild humor, light heartedness, deeply tender moments, and some all out craziness on the dance floor. I’m not sure I’ve had a wedding packed with so many levels of emotion in one day, but it for sure created a special place in my heart for these two, and I think one of the best love stories I’ve ever captured! Congrats to the Cicconettis! From the bride and groom: "Janet is a Former D1 athlete who was looking for a change in her workout routine after doing only yoga for 2 years post college. She started getting interested in CrossFit and once she moved into the city she quickly joined Skyline CrossFit in September of 2019 (where Mario was already a member). Fast forward to the beginning of the pandemic....Skyline shut down along with the rest of the world. Mario was smart enough to rent equipment from the gym and started working out at the local high school track. He invited Janet to start working out with him and others. It was the only sense of normalcy they had. At this point, Mario and Janet were just friends, but there was something blooming. In April of 2020 Mario asked Janet on their first date. After another date the very next day, Janet saw Mario through a romantic lens for the first time and has not turned back since. They have traveled all over the US together and plan to keep on traveling around the world. Mario proposed in December of 2021 after a Saturday morning workout at Skyline (how appropriate). She was in COMPLETE shock, but it was absolutely perfect. "
