We met on the internet, and on our first date we bonded over our shared love of all things nerdy, Marvel, Disney, and theme parks. We always wanted to make the wedding uniquely ours. Nerdy but classy!

Photography (duh) and fashion are priorities for me, so with NO attire budget and exponentially growing dressmaking skills, I suddenly found the confidence to alter my own wedding gown.
