Congratulations Jeannette and Shinichi!
Monday, July 23, 2012 at 4:20PM I have so many wonderful things to say about Jeannette and Shinichi - a bride (who lived in Oregon) and met her groom (who lived in Japan) while they both happened to be doing one semester of university abroad (as a school in the Midwest) and fell in love in a drama class. If that's not serendipity I don't know what is.
They maintained an international long-distance relationship for 4 YEARS and we had the incredible honor of coordinating their wedding at the gorgeous AT&T Center in Downtown LA this past July. They booked a full service package almost a year ago and I have had a blast bringing their wedding to life with them via email, phone, and only 2 in-person visits. I am so happy that this adorable and unbelievably sweet couple found each other, allowed us to be part of their story, and will now be united for a lifetime as Jeannette joins Shinichi to live in Japan.
What a story. What a couple.
Their very small and intimate wedding wasabsolutely lovely. 25 of their closest family and friends flew in to join them and they couldn't have chosen a prettier day. There were clear skies in downtown LA (allowing for a perfect view of the skyline) and followed by a dramatic sunset. We moved the cake cutting up a bit so the incredible sunset would serve as the perfect backdrop. Here are a few sneak peaks from their lovely photographer, Amanda McKinnon Photography. Thank you Amanda for your beautiful work! I'll post the rest of the photos as well as their video as soon as they're ready.
