Happily Ever After

Overview

Happily Ever After attempts to add layers of meaning to the ubiquity of wedding photography services. In so doing, the filmmakers adopted an ingenious methodology. Three wedding photography sessions are framed in long shots to provide viewers with unfettered access to the dynamics of a family. The unfurled dramas are further enriched by the sense of real time elicited from fixed camera positions, giving way to a story told beyond the narrative constraints normally associated with family dramas.
