Joanne had her undergrad in Economics & Biology.  Lawrence finished up his MBA.  They met while he was volunteering during his business school internship for a nonprofit in Singapore where she was also an intern.  They both ended up falling in love, living and working in the New York City/New Jersey area.  And that was the beginning. 

She went back to Singapore where her family is and he later moved to Dallas, Texas, continuing their relationship via email and phone calls.  Despite the many miles and countries apart, it was a love worth fighting for.  Their hearts just knew and the hard work paid off! :)  Seldom do we celebrate the courageous act that it takes to risk, uproot and start anew - but Sam and I truly admire this about them.

Not only that, we love their generous and warm hearts - always blessing and encouraging those around them.  We just happen to be that lucky! :) 

Their destination wedding was held at the beautiful Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and we were fortunate to also capture their pre-wedding session.  We love destination sessions that allows us to draw from a fresh creative experience and this one was no exception.
