This Couple Successfully Planned Their Dream Wedding While Apart

Chris was in New York while Alessa was in the Philippines, and the goal was to plan a beautiful intimate wedding. How did they do it? Through Zoom calls, texts, and FaceTime. Just like everyone else, they had to navigate through the changing IATF guidelines and were consistently checking to see if the travel restrictions have eased. They admitted that the changes made their planning experience both exhilarating and stressful but everything paid off when their wedding came out beautifully!

Marriage isn’t always easy, but it is something well worth fighting for and celebrating often. Today, Roger and Anna invite us to witness how they live by these words through the photos by Thal Ruin Photography of their wedding anniversary. The couple started their own unique tradition of celebrating their marriage in the company of loved ones every 5 years.
