We’ve been making wedding films for cool couples since 2015.

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner of Forever Hello Films. And I’m really glad you found your way here.

Growing up, I saw my parents' wedding photos in photo albums around our house. It was beautiful to see them on their wedding day, younger than I'd ever known them, happy and in love, posing with family and friends. The first time I watched their wedding video, it was surreal. I got to hear my uncle singing "The Wedding Song" on guitar at their ceremony, see my Grandfather, who is now long passed, walking into the church with my Grandmother, and my parents dancing their first dance while singing to each other. I got to experience in sound and motion, the intimate and most tender parts of their special day as if I'd been there with them 25 years before.

I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 15 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like. But most of all in a way that feels like them.

Plenty of couples and misty-­eyed speeches later, I've discovered a passion for documenting the real­-life love stories and wedding days of the couples who've trusted me to help preserve their memories for a lifetime.

That's my story, but I'd really love to know your love story.
