We are honored to have now filmed two Zelenka weddings, and we absolutely love hanging with this special family at the always beautiful Race and Religious! Madeline and Sam’s story is truly one of the universe bringing them together. Looking for adventure, they each separately left their own corners of the world to teach English in a small town in Taiwan. Sam was there first, and when he heard a new American girl was starting, he of course had to “stalk her on all the things” before meeting her. They immediately became friends and shared beers and conversation after work often, talking freely about anything and everything. As their friendship blossomed into something more, friends and family on FaceTime from across the world could clearly see how happy they made each other. After leaving Taiwan, they made long distance work because they knew they were meant for each other. Come wedding day, Madeline surprised Sam with a beautiful new guitar, and this moment is one of our favorite Bride Film moments of all time. We also loved their gorgeous color palate with the bridesmaids in yellow and the groomsmen in navy. The colors just popped! These two have a faith and love for each other that is just so inspiring, and we wish them a lifetime of more huge smiles, laughter, and scooter rides! Check out the awesome team below!
