As the Crow Flies

We work a lot of weddings and see many relationships where the couple does indeed love each other. There is a certain type of energy omitted from the couples that are truly in- love. Alexis & Jared are one of those couples. If a twin flame is a real thing, it's these two. 

After parting all day and night, we met with the newlyweds at AFTERSHOCK the next day! Talk about a way to celebrate!

From the moment we met to do their engagement, it was an instant bond. We are now so proud to call them our friends.
