It was love at first call for us when an "unknown call" came in from Lizzie and Rhys from England, who wanted to learn more about our studio and our approach to making a wedding film. After a few moments chatting we soon found out just how small this world is. Lizzie went to high school with another one of our brides from last year and had also selected the same photographer she did, the amazing Joe Mikos (aka Brother Joe). Once we got sense of all their wonderful plans we asked them to back up to the most important part, how these two incredible people from other parts of the globe found each other.
Lizzie grew up in Connecticut and Rhys, who is Welsh, grew up in a small village in the north of England. Their story dates back to a boy growing up in Wales (Rhys' father) who as a kid used to run around playing American cowboys with his friends, and later in life, was brought by his family to a ranch in Arizona to fulfill the dream in celebration of a milestone birthday. The family had such a great time that they went back the following year. That's when Rhys met Lizzie, who had decided to take a once in a lifetime opportunity to take some time 'off the beaten track' and work as a Wrangler for a season. One day, after an early morning breakfast ride, Lizzie rode up to the corral, and there was Rhys standing in the shade of an Ironwood tree wearing a cowboy hat and boots. Marking the beginning of in incredible courtship that lasted five years, during which time Lizzie and Rhys flew back and forth across the Atlantic. Finally, in late summer 2009, a proposal at the seaside in Cornwall... and now most recently, Lizzie's move across the pond.
The family tradition of making dreams come true brings them across the pond once again to Nantucket Island to be married, making Lizzie's childhood dream of one day getting married at St Paul's Episcopal Church a reality for which we are honored to be a part of.
"We are so excited to work with you guys. We know this is going to be the best weekend of our lives as we get to celebrate this special time with all of our family and friends - we want to remember every moment!! After speaking with you and seeing your work, it is clear that you have an incredibly talented team and really know how to capture people and the moments that are most important to them. We love your ability to tell a story through your work, and we hope that ours will be one we can share with our children and our children's children in such a way that they'll be able to know who we were 'back then' (!) and how crazy we were about each other. We can't wait until September!!!"
-Lizzie & Rhys
