Sometimes we share the story of highlighting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/vendor-events\">connection opportunities<\/a> and events for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/#vendor-categories\">wedding professionals<\/a>, and sometimes we fall down the rabbit hole of endless, perfect detail in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/?s=real+wedding\">particular wedding<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">(If you want a hint, this week is the latter!)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The uniting factor between all these different stories is that, when you zoom out and look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/\">our blog<\/a> as one whole story, the thread that connects each seemingly disparate story is, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/who-we-are\">our very favorite thing<\/a>: <b>love<\/b>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Whether it\u2019s the love of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/#vendor-categories\">our community<\/a> that shines through in posts like this one, or the love an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/deals-tips\">engaged couple<\/a> committing to one life together, it is, quite literally, <em>all love<\/em> here!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">And if you can stay in that zoomed-out perspective with us for a moment longer \u2014 weddings are a kind of story, too. Each one is deeply personal, intricate, and unique, it\u2019s true, but if you look for the <a href=\"http:\/\/weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/\">larger story of weddings<\/a>, we see that common thread of <strong>love<\/strong> yet again.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">So what we\u2019re doing here, then, is just simply following the love stories, and seeing where they take us!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This week brought us a truly special love story, one captured by our dear friends and collaborators at Light House Studio, that we now have the enormous honor of bringing to you.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Honestly, we probably shouldn\u2019t have been surprised that the emotional \u2014 and physical \u2014 details of their love story shined through so beautifully in their photos. It is, after all, a Light House wedding! If you&#8217;re not familiar with the locally beloved, BFF photography duo behind the name Light House Studio, we highly suggest you get familiar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">But anyways, as the old clich\u00e9 goes, <i>seeing is believing<\/i>. Oh, and there\u2019s that other one, <i>a picture is worth a thousand words<\/i>. So now, as we come back down from our higher perspective to delight in the magical, earthly details of this particular story \u2014 we\u2019ll let their photos, and their team, and the newlyweds, speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/joysonny18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/joysonny18.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/joysonny18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/joysonny18-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-05-19_0001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-05-19_0001.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-05-19_0001-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-05-19_0001-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When Joy &amp; Sonny first reached out to us, we knew that we had made an instant connection with such a fun and loving couple.<\/p>\n<p>Their traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony and reception were both beautiful and vibrant, and their love for each other was so evident throughout the whole day.
