The Unscripted Love Story Project

Tell me how it started.

Every month until February, I’ll film one couple’s love story, free. No script, no posing. Just the two of you, in your own words.

No purchase necessary · Open to BC residents 18+ · Short rules

What the chosen couple receives

The Prologue: your love story film

Approx. value CAD $699

  • An hour or so together at your home or a place that matters to you
  • A relaxed conversation, not an interview
  • A 3 to 4 minute documentary film in your own words, with old photos and videos woven in
  • Ready before your wedding day

Grand prize

The Chapter: your wedding film

Approx. value CAD $1,950

One couple will also receive The Chapter: up to 5 hours on your wedding day and a documentary film in your own words.

Chosen from all entries after the project closes on February 15, 2027. For weddings in 2027, on any day except Saturdays from May to October.

How it works

  1. Share your story.

    It takes about five minutes. Tell me how you met and one small moment only the two of you know.

  2. I read every entry myself.

    No algorithms, no likes or votes.

  3. One couple each month.

    I’ll email the chosen couple within 7 days after each entry period closes. Entries that aren’t chosen roll over to the next month automatically.

Finalists

Each month I’ll also pick a few finalists. They get a private thank-you: book The Feature or The Chapter within 30 days, and The Prologue is included at no extra cost.

Questions

Do we need to book a package to enter?

No. No purchase is necessary, and entering doesn’t commit you to anything.

We’re a little awkward on camera.

That’s completely fine. Most of the film is the two of you talking, and you’re never asked to perform.

Will our film be public?

If you’re chosen, your film becomes part of my portfolio and may appear on this site and my social media. You can ask me to take it down at any time.

Can we enter again next month?

You don’t need to. If you’re not chosen, your entry is automatically considered in the following entry periods until the project ends.

Where can the film be made?

Anywhere in my Zone 1 and Zone 2 travel areas (Langley, Surrey, White Rock, Cloverdale, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Delta, Abbotsford and nearby Metro Vancouver cities).

Short rules
