When Thien approached us to shoot her wedding day with her new husband to be Henry we had to politely decline with us being completely booked up but Thien being our kinda gal just wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and so instead arranged for us to shoot their bridal session with us to celebrate the beginning of their marriage as Mr & Mrs which actually worked out for the better as by the sounds of it their wedding day schedule seemed jam packed and our session was more chilled out and relaxed. What also took us by surprise was that Thien informed us that her and Henry had a similar relationship to ours as they too were an ‘international couple’ a couple once separated by the Atlantic ocean as Henry was from good ol’ Utah and with Thien residing in Birmingham, England. They met whilst Henry was visiting the UK for vacation and now they’re married, together at last – no longer separated by distance =) We especially empathised with their stories of distance and the hard times of long distance relationships as it’s definitely not for everyone, it was just nice to know we were in the same boat as them and seeing them so happy and the fun they had on the shoot, it’s evident that all the hard ships are just worth it because love and faith are those strongest of all =) *sigh* Don’t you just love happy endings =)

Jackie’s Flowers Old Town Elk Grove

I can foresee enormous wedding planning in mine and my fiancée Sou-Wah’s near future… things can most likely easily turn hectic and a bit of a whirlwind but we have nothing but excitement for the year ahead and we can’t wait to be married. We paid a special visit to a dear family friend Jackie who owns the most beautiful and unique flower shop I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I knew instantly my fiancée and Jackie would hit it off and not to blow my own horn but they did. Jackie’s flowers is from my hometown Elk Grove and wandering into her little house in Old Town was like stepping into a vintage little treasure wonderland which is right up our alley. I enjoy making my fiancé smile and this certainly did so thanks Jackie! =)
