More Detail:

A SNAPSHOT OF FOREVER is a 2022 romance from the Great American Family about the importance of slowing down and enjoying the simple things in life, as famous actor Shane and wedding photographer Jessie strike up a relationship. Jessie is a photographer at her family’s winery/wedding venue in St. Gracious, California. She moved back after burning out on her career as a high-profile photographer in LA. She and her family are preparing for their latest wedding, for the sister of Shane Brown, a famous actor.

Jessie and Shane quickly hit it off as he reconnects with nature and his love of writing poetry. He shares his thoughts about wanting to slow down his life with Jessie. She shares that’s why she left LA, and the pair work together on a special wedding gift for Shane’s sister. Shane reveals he’s burnt out on his acting career and has secretly always dreamed of being a playwright, which she encourages.

Shane asks Jessie on a date, and the two enjoy a night of bowling, burgers, and conversation about life in St. Gracious. Shane’s co-star calls the next day, asking to hang out and run lines. He accidentally reveals his location, and she calls the paparazzi in an attempt to fabricate a tabloid love story rumor. When a photographer confronts Shane in town and shows him a magazine spread with photos of his date with Jessie, Shane accidentally refers to Jessie as just his sister’s wedding photographer. The story makes headlines, and Jessie, who had previously been in a similar relationship with a famous actor, tells Shane she doesn’t want to return to that kind of life.

Shane’s sister’s wedding takes place, and he shares some of his poetry about the couple’s relationship. He then leaves for a flight back to LA to begin work on a new project. Will the duo connect to admit their feelings for each other and embrace a simpler life together?
