Leah and Rey’s story began as classmates in Vancouver, where friendship quietly blossomed into something more years later. After reconnecting through a simple text, their bond reignited effortlessly, leading to a long-distance relationship and, ultimately, a heartfelt proposal on Christmas Day near their university campus. Their wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu was nothing short of a fairytale planned with the help of Amormagic and captured by Shmily Wedding. Inspired by the romance of Twilight and the charm of nature, the couple exchanged vows under a canopy of cascading white wisteria courtesy of Wenfloral Design with a natural waterfall as the backdrop.
