Osi and Oyin have a tradition; every year, they celebrate their anniversary with a themed photoshoot. This year, they wanted something deeper, so they invited us to create a film for them and gave us full creative control.
We proposed a Reflection Film, a quiet space where they could sit together and talk about the past few years. Their last video was four years ago, so this became a moment to pause, look back, and remember how far they’ve come.
We also documented the behind the scenes of their anniversary shoot and created a FilmLettr. Privately, we asked Osi to write a letter to Oyin and Oyin to write one to Osi; without either of them knowing. When they finally watched the filmlettr, they were surprised and moved by each other’s words.
The theme of their anniversary this year was joy, and it showed beautifully in every frame, every laugh, every quiet moment of connection.
For them, this wasn’t just documentation. It was a reconnection; a chance to reflect, remember, and celebrate their journey.
This is what our “Our Story” offering is all about. A cinematic experience designed for couples to honor their relationship, year after year.
Perfect for anniversaries, milestones, or as a heartfelt gift to a couple you love.

We asked our guests to write letters to their dads.
This was a personal moment for them and only excerpts were posted online.
This is an activity that anyone that has lost a loved one can do.
Filmletters By @oftimeandlight
Mr O’Brien's philosophy was clear: why wait for 50 when 49 is just as important? He reached out to us with a vision for an old-school, reflective photoshoot, marking his personal timeline now. We loved the idea and knew we could transform his vision into something far beyond a gallery of stills.
Our reason for proposing the FilmLettr was to turn his self-reflection into a powerful cinematic experience for him and his family.
O’Brien loved the idea and gave us permission to collaborate with his closest family. While we meticulously photographed his session, the true legacy was being recorded: his wife and son wrote and voiced deeply personal letters, which were then woven into the final film as the sole narration.
The result was a profound emotional experience for O’Brien. We watched as he played the film repeatedly, moved by the combined voices of his family and the cinematic quality of his own life story. In his own words, "You made me feel like it's a movie in the cinema with myself in it." This is the ultimate compliment we strive for: to make your legacy feel as epic and timeless as you deserve.
This is a perfect example of how FilmLettr offers a beautiful, unexpected way to gift yourself a lasting memory or gift a loved one the sound of pure emotion.
Nora has always chosen quiet solitude over grand affairs for her birthday, but this year, she expressed a subtle wish for something truly different.
She came to us with the idea of a simple photoshoot. We immediately saw the potential to elevate that single day into a profound, lasting piece of her emotional timeline. The reason for our idea was to make her memory of the day deepen every time she revisited it.
Nora trusted us with full creative control. We went ahead with the photoshoot, meticulously documenting all the beautiful, unscripted moments behind the scenes.
However, the true heart of the film was a secret collaboration: we worked with her friend, Maggie, to write and voice a deeply personal letter. This audio, the total surprise for Nora, became the entire narration for the film.
Now, Nora has a simple, beautiful FilmLettr that captures the essence of that milestone. When she watches it, she is always reminded of Maggie’s perfect words of friendship.
This is a perfect example of how FilmLettr offers a beautiful, unexpected way to gift yourself a lasting memory or gift a loved one the sound of pure emotion.
When Thelma celebrated her birthday, she was under the impression that her friend was planning a fun photoshoot and a simple "vlog" of the day. Her friend, however, wanted to gift her something truly eternal.
She came to us with the vision, and we proposed the FilmLettr to transform that single day into a profound cinematic moment. The reason for our idea was to anchor the memory of the celebration in the most powerful way: through the authentic voice of their friendship.
Thelma was delightfully unaware that as we documented the lively behind-the-scenes of her shoot, the audio for her film was being prepared in secret. Her friend meticulously wrote and recorded a deeply personal letter, which became the exclusive voiceover for the entire film.
The surprise reveal was beautiful, far surpassing the "vlog" she expected. Now, Thelma possesses a powerful FilmLettr that captures not just how beautiful she looked that day, but the unwavering bond of her friendship, preserved forever in her friend's exact words.
This is a perfect example of how FilmLettr offers a beautiful, unexpected way to gift yourself a lasting memory or gift a loved one the sound of pure emotion.
