Three is usually a crowd but the three of us together create magic for couples most weeks. Even on days like today. So lucky to be able to work with two of my very best friends. 🫶🏼

Alexia and Jeremy | The Remarkables

I had so much fun marrying these two love birds 💕
____

"What do you love most about your partner?"
____

This verrry standard wedding ceremony preparation question goes such a long way when it comes to crafting the words you hope your couples remember forever.

Jeremy told me he loved Alexia's quirky sense of humour and the way they often find themselves in fits of laughter. He also mentioned that Alexia is 'of the clumsy kind'....

It was so very cute to see her clumsiness play out moments later as she took a tumble in the snow! And for those of you who know me well - yes, I was very surprised I didn't tumble down too! 😂

We love a stylish yet comfortable bride! 😍

It was a beautifully moody and blustery day to celebrate the love of this couple ❤️

These two met on an app and had a proposal to die for at Lincoln's Rock in Australia. No wonder their vows were super romantic 💕
