Kodjo Somana

Kodjoarts Videography LLC presents an intimate peek into the wedding day of Michaela and Derrick at Jorgensen Farms Oak Grove in Westerville, OH. This wedding film captures two people whose relationship was built on comfort, steadfast faith, and a simple, enduring love that began in college and grew into a promise for a lifetime.

Introduction: A Love That Felt Like Home

The ceremony opens with heartfelt vows that make clear how naturally this relationship unfolded. Derrick reflects on a single date that changed everything — June 5, 2018 — and describes loving Michaela as "the most easiest and most natural thing" he's ever done. His words focus on the calm they find in each other and the everyday moments that feel like home: exploring cities, binge-watching shows, and sitting in silence together.

The Vows: Comfort, Growth, and Simple Truths

Derrick’s Promise

Derrick offers vows stripped of overcomplication, full of gratitude and specific details that make them feel personal and authentic. Key themes he expresses include:

  • Comfort and peace as the foundation of their relationship.
  • Gratitude for support, encouragement, and the ways Michaela challenges him to grow.
  • The everyday things that reveal love: her laugh, smile, honesty, and the way she makes everyone feel seen.
  • A joyful anticipation of life together — from grand plans to small pleasures like burning more s'mores.
"You are my comfort. You are my peace... every moment with you feels like home."

Michaela’s Response

Michaela reads her vows moments before becoming Derrick's wife. She traces their story back to freshman year of college — living next to each other in Jones Tower — and credits providence for keeping them close. Her vows emphasize:

  • Faith and gratitude: she believes God kept them near each other.
  • Security and understanding as the emotional pillars of the relationship.
  • A commitment to follow where Derrick goes and to plant and nurture roots together.
  • Playful permanence: "you'll either be my best friend or soulmate... either way, you're stuck with me."
  • An everyday vow to choose one another, "as for as long as I'm breathing."
"Where you go, I'll go, where you land, I'll plant roots and I'll keep watering them every day so we can grow and build together as a family."

Moments That Make the Story

Beyond the words, the film highlights the small details that turn vows into lived truth:

  • The timeline of their relationship: meeting in college, a turning point on June 5, 2018, and six and a half years shared before this wedding day.
  • Lighthearted images and private jokes — like the promise to "burn more s'mores" — that reveal how love lives in everyday rituals.
  • Faith as a quiet, recurring presence; both partners acknowledge gratitude to God for guiding them together.
  • A joyful, emotional cadence: laughter, a few hurriedly read lines from nerves, and tears turned into smiles.

The Closing: Music and Celebration

The ceremony transitions into a musical outro that mirrors the vows' warmth. Lyrics sung over the closing shots echo the central message of the day — being made better together, called higher, and finding light in one another. The music reinforces the film's tone: romantic, sincere, and gently exuberant.

Key Takeaways for Couples

  • Keep vows honest and simple — sincerity often resonates more deeply than elaborate phrasing.
  • Share specifics: little details (a date, a shared ritual, a place) make vows feel uniquely yours.
  • Balance poetic lines with practical promises: choosing each other daily and growing together are powerful commitments.
  • Let your personality show. Humor and vulnerability give emotional texture to vows.
  • Documenting these moments with professional wedding videography preserves the tone and subtle details that photos alone may miss.
