And special thanks to Kawai Pianos as well for use of their gorgeous RX-3 Grand Piano, it looked and sounded stunning!http://villasancti.comhttp://www.kawaius.com________________________Story behind the song:I've been honored to play this song at a few of my friend's weddings and it always gets me a little teary eyed so I knew I wanted to create my own instrumental arrangement for this song. I love how simple and beautiful the melody is which is why I wanted to add some orchestration behind it to give it a more romantic feel, plus I also changed the tempo a little bit to be the perfect pace for when the bride is walking down the aisle :) This video became even more special to me when my beautiful wife Maria agreed to be in it with me too, we had such a fun time shooting together and I hope the love we have for each other comes through - you can see what she's up to on her fashion & lifestyle blog too:http://www.miamiamine.comGetting to shoot in this incredible location honestly seemed like a dream come true - the ocean views and breeze, the beautiful grounds, and those incredible palm trees, wow - I can see why so many people want to get married here! I was fortunate enough to meet the owners a few years back and have kept in touch through a few charity projects, when the idea for this video started to come together I knew this was the perfect spot to film this song. Hope you enjoy it - thanks for listening & sharing :)

The melody, lyrics, everything about this song fit perfectly together. The second thing I did was run to a piano and sound out the chords for the song! The more I started playing this song I started hearing the orchestral arrangement in my head and I knew I wanted to record that version. I called my friend Josh Misner (violin) who recommending doing the song as a trio Cory Grossman (cello) who ended up being truly instrumental (bad pun!) with orchestrating this song and taking the lead on some of the opening lower melody lines - it really was a team effort. About the location: One of the first weddings I ever played for was a friend of mine at The Great Hall in Saint Paul but I never would have imagined shooting a music video like this at the same spot almost 10 years later! It was really special coming back to one of the earliest spots I started my career as a professional musician and I'm really happy with how everything came together. Hope you enjoy it - thanks so much for listening & sharing :)
