Summer 2026 is coming to a close but the moments we made on our wedding day are lifelong. We had so much fun laughing , dancing , and soaking in the beauty of our tribe being all together for us.

A special thank you to the absolute best bridal party and groomsman we could ever ask for

The Whitaker Union is official 🥂
June 14,2026

Thee most beautiful day of my life. Our wedding day had me in tears , smiling , and in so much gratitude for all the answered prayers finally right in front me. God is the reason for this union

I am so blessed to have so many people come to me and point out how happy my husband was and how joyful he was to have me as his wife. That is so special because I equally feel the same way. He is everything I prayed for and beyond. We are the Whitaker Union and we are unbreakable 🤎

Thank you to my family and village for showing up and showing out for us behind the scenes.

*ps this post is 1 of 100 lol

A beautiful day where I was celebrated and shown so much love by the women in my life who played a huge part in the woman I am and the woman I am growing into.

Overload of joy about the way my bridal shower turned out. Outside of the gifts it was seeing everyone there and the intention put into it. I felt beautiful and confident in myself. Im still on a high 🥹

Special thanks to my first mentor, big sister , close friend to making my vision come to life @myrashawnise
My bride tribe is amazing 🫶🏾

Of course to my man @arkel96 for making a special appearance and making me smile even more. We have 3 more weeks until we make it official. 🤭

Summertime Sanctuary follows the history & preservation of Fox Lake, a community in northeast Indiana populated by black residents and vacationers since the 1920s

This has been a longtime coming. We are LIVE on our Crowdfunding Campaign on @seedandspark we are looking to raise $60,000 in 60 days to start the interview portions of the production. This project is more important than ever to exist as parts of this history have faded from time but this film is looking to make a beautiful, poetic and unforgettable documentary. LINK IN THE BIO to the campaign site, your contributions and shares are highly appreciated! Let’s make history!

From our founder @arkel96 - It has been an immense privilege to have ran this business for 8 years. When I started SW Films, I wanted to push the boundaries with my visuals, storytelling and influence every time I put together a project. I’m happy to say the boundaries have been pushed every single one of these last 8 years and what’s to come next is truly spectacular feats and I can’t wait for you all to see this Cinematic Excellence! Thank you to all of the wonderful businesses, music artists, cast & crew for all of the beautiful projects you let SW Films hone in on. Upwards & Onwards til Infinity!
