A Summer Memoir

A Summer Memoir was a campaign, conceptualised during the COVID pandemic, a time when emotions were heightened, and the significance of intimacy and connection became even more apparent.

It centered around an intimate wedding, capturing the tender moments between a sister and her loved one as she navigated the bittersweet emotions of her sibling getting married and moving away.

Concept & Inspiration

The campaign felt deeply personal, as it explored the emotional journey of the sister. I wanted to convey the end of an era—her sisterhood—and the inevitable shift that comes with life changes, like marriage. Each model in the campaign represented a different aspect of that journey, embodying traits that resonated with the complexities of love, loss, and the beauty of growing together.

Execution

One of the most important elements of this campaign was the original sound track, which was written and performed by a singer-songwriter. The song and Voice Overs perfectly captured the feelings of the sister—a mix of joy, pride, and sadness as she let go of the past and embraced the new. It was a reflection of her inner conflict, celebrating the love and joy of the occasion, while also mourning the inevitable changes that come with it.

The visuals of the campaign were intimate, focusing on the quiet moments that define relationships—hands held, glances shared, and fleeting expressions that speak volumes. The colors were warm and nostalgic, creating a sense of timelessness that echoed the emotions we often feel during life’s transitions.

Ultimately, A Summer Memoir was about the things that truly matter—our loved ones, the fleeting moments of connection, and the bond we share with those closest to us, no matter how life changes.
