It was a real pleasure working with Ollie! Very flexible and cooperative, he has shown to be a reliable crew and great asset to have on our project. He has the eye for detail and his work was perfectly in key with our deliverables. Looking forward to work with Ollie again!

Ollie is exceptional. He put together a complicated shoot for us on very short notice and over a holiday period and was down to go with the flow. He's super reliable, very friendly, has great connections, and a total pro.

There are over 6,500 languages in the world. But the one language we all share is sometimes the most complicated to understand—love. We traveled around the world to meet couples whose love has stood the test of time. Each of our couples have been together for at least 30 years (some as many as 61!) and they’ve picked up plenty of wisdom about life and love and marriage along the way. From Ghana to Brazil, from St. John, Indiana, to the Philippines, this is what love looks like around the world.
