A Snapshot of Forever

About the movie

Bud and Judy Brooks own and operate Sweet Valley Vineyard in St. Gracious in California wine country. In an effort to diversify, their daughter Sophia Brooks is trying to promote the vineyard as a destination wedding venue, with her sister Jessie Brooks having moved back from Los Angeles to act as the in-house photographer. Jessie worked as the successful head photographer for Runway Style magazine, but several issues about the Los Angeles life, including a failed relationship, made her choose this slower paced life so that she could figuratively stop and smell the roses, despite being courted by Blushing Bride, the biggest bridal magazine in the country. Their next wedding between Kate Brown and Cole Dylan is a purported "big deal" which could make or break the business, due not to the bride or groom, but the best man and the bride's brother, Hollywood star Shane Brown. Despite being camera-shy, Shane has many of the same issues as Jessie does about Hollywood life, he constantly being in the public eye when he really wants some private time, unlike his new television series co-star, Lindsay Pierce who sees any publicity as good publicity. Jessie and Shane end up forming a connection. While their respective lives are already an obstacle to Jessie and Shane making their relationship long term, Hollywood rearing its ugly head is another obstacle, especially as Jessie's failed relationship was with another Hollywood star, Ethan Miller.—Huggo
