From the bride and groom… Despite growing up continents apart, Amy and Alex found each other in San Francisco. Amy had moved there from New York, having fallen in love with the West coast while shooting commercials. Alex had moved there from London following his dream to live under the blue California skies. They both ended up working at the same company, but it still took a dating app to make the first move. Fast forward a year or two and the couple were going from strength to strength, hike to hike. Then the test of the pandemic began, but cemented their bond. The isolation highlighted the need to take a break from the sleeping city. So they moved a few hours east to their shared love of nature near Lake Tahoe. Shortly after, they were engaged to be married, by the lake that had taken root in Amy’s heart so many years prior. Amy and Alex are a couple that value quality time, together and with friends. It was important to them to have an intimate gathering in a setting uniquely associated with their marriage for years to come. The couple wanted to select a place that mesmerised their guests as a gesture to their parents and friends who had supported them this far. Alex’s European background led to the suggestion of the beautiful south of France, somewhere Amy has always wanted to visit. That’s when they found Aurelie from Love & Provence. Shooting to get married as soon as practical to thread the needle of the waxing and waning pandemic waves, the couple spent hours on Zoom being guided and reassured by Aurelie’s experienced and tasteful hand. From vendor shortlisting to feedback on creative direction, every aspect of Aurelie’s wedding plan was meticulous. The entire event was signed off remotely, without the couple being able to travel to visit any vendors.
