“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

I’ve never really believed in weddings, in the traditional sense. Crazy right? Being a wedding photographer and all!
They have just never felt like a true expression of individuality, but rather an industry and culturally influenced necessity that doesn’t quite fit everyone.
So I created Unions Of Love; an idea and a philosophy on doing things differently and creating something very unique and special to each individual. To celebrate ANY two people, to NO exclusions, coming together to form a conscious whole union. No stress, no awkward traditions, no expectations and no unnecessary clutter. Simplicity expressing modern love.
"There's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now." - Eckhart Tolle

Celebrate a Union Of Love any way you choose. But to experience something extra-ordinary, we must first break out of the ordinary, make our own path, speak our hearts and create an experience that is beyond decor, clutter and unconscious consumerism. We must be present, open, and connected – to ourselves and to those we love. At the heart of a Union Of Love are 3 principles…
"We felt so blessed to stand in amongst our 'circle of love' and be surrounded by people who mean so much in our lives. That's what a wedding really should be about - love!" - Marine + Campbell
