They invited us to their home on our first meeting. It felt like walking in the set of the TV series, The Block. They were renovating their home — their first, because in there, they want to get married. With only about 10 months to go, it almost seemed impossible. They had no Plan B. They were both determined and had that enormous faith in each other. They believed they can make a perfect setting where they can promise each other forever, right in their home.

And they did.

There are so many reasons to love this wedding. We loved how it celebrated what truly matters. Relationships. Between them both and among their families and friends. The people who were there were their village, their home.

We loved how they kept everything real and honest. Months after our first meeting, I got a text from her. It says “We first met way back in May right? You might have noticed at the time that I have Alopecia which means my hair falls out….” My reply was, “No, we didn’t notice that but we did notice your big heart.” On their wedding, she wore no hair but we think, she carried a bigger heart and that made her one of our most, most beautiful bride. That explains too why he is so in love with her and why he looks at her the way he does (you can see in the photos).

We loved how they made it fun and kept it humble.

Our dearest Holly and Chris, remember how I had a Skype meeting with another couple on the same day you inquired about our services? And their wedding date was the same as yours? I prayed to God that, of course, one of you would book us.  Hehehe! I also prayed that the one we’d end up working with, would be people we can end up being friends with. We prayed for people like you. We always believed that when God sends people our way, He always knows what He is doing. And He nailed it again when He sent you our way.

The memories you made on your wedding day were too special and beautiful. Thank you for choosing us to be the ones to frame them for you. We hope they will always bring you joy each time you look at them.

To your families, please send our deepest and sincerest gratitude for welcoming us so warmly. For making us feel we are part of your village.

Much love.
