Best day ever!

Absolutely amazing. We got our dream wedding day with these two by our sides. Where do we start. Alan and Heidi have been like true family through planning wedding 1, but when we had to postpone when Covid hit, they were there to reassure us all was okay, helped keep us level headed, and assisted us in the reworking of our ceremony, wedding two! Lol. We ended up getting married in Big Bear. Beautiful place, we didn’t want to leave!

Heidi is lovely, I love how she speaks and she really made the tears fly. The hand fasting was a wonderful addition to our day and now we have an awesome keepsake that means many things to us. Alan is an amazing photographer and is always thinking ten steps ahead. He is fun to be around and easy to chat it up with, and we definitely felt comfortable being ourselves. In turn that means natural, fun, spontaneous, creative photos!!! We love everything he suggests and takes suggestions from us and our families too. He even sent us a little sneak peak from the shoot within hours.

Our families loved them to pieces and were in awe that we found such an amazing duo to help us elope.

They are a wonderful couple and work so well together. We are beyond happy with how our day turned out and we will remember it for all our years.

Thank you for everything!

Super romantic, classic, and energetic wedding ceremony!

Heidi worked closely with us to create our unique "Love Story" wedding ceremony! Her creativity integrated seamlessly with our vision of a romantic, energetic, loving ceremony with our family and friends - it was everything we imagined and hoped for! Heidi helped us enjoy the process without any stress and to focus on our special day. We are deeply grateful to Heidi for her loving kindness and support - she's the best! We were also very fortunate to have Alan Merrigan with Love Story Photography as our top-notch wedding photographer - together they created the best possible support for our wedding experience. THANK YOU, Heidi and Alan!
