“We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.”

There’s so much laughter between these two. So many smiles, happy sighs, ear-to-ear-grins- they’re just perfect together. As two self-proclaimed nerds, Lisa found someone to complete her inner Harry Potter-loving self, and Jonathan found someone whose love of books may just be greater than his. Together, they’re wonderfully perfect. And perfectly wonderful.

Jonathan & Lisa, it was nothing short of a privilege to spend your wedding photographing your love. I couldn’t have imaged a day more suited to you both, and I’m so thankful to know you two! Enjoy your honeymoon in Vietnam, I hope it’s even more beautiful than expected.
