Today’s feature is no ordinary wedding. It is beautiful with handmade details flown in from Russia, where the couple is from, and flush with graceful simplicity. Like most features of late, it is a beach wedding. But one vital element is starkly different from all other weddings we’ve seen–the guest list. Or in this case, the lack thereof!

I’ve always been infatuated with the idea of elopement. The thought of taking on the unknown with your one companion, your lifelong go-to person, has been both thrilling and romantic! Such was the wedding of Muslim and Ekaterina on the shores of Boracay. Surely our most prized seaside is an adventure right out of a tropical fairy tale to this couple native to Russia!

Jeff and Lisa of Jeff and Lisa Photography became privy to the couple’s special day, capturing moments from their wedding ceremony and their engagement session held a day prior. It is so refreshing to see just two people, content with each other’s company, being the other’s helping hand. Isn’t this a perfect picture of the days to come–a future being built and lived together? Needless to say I was moved to tears. I didn’t even need to hear the vows, the pictures said it all.

“Oh darling, let’s be adventurers.”
