There’s something so special about weddings that begin with a story you know was meant to unfold—and Emily and Jeffrey’s love story is exactly that.

How Emily & Jeffrey Met

Emily and Jeffrey met through Instagram back in 2019. Emily had just moved to Virginia, and Jeffrey was also new to the area. While exploring her new surroundings online, Emily came across one of Jeffrey’s photography projects through a local geotag—and something about it caught her attention.

They followed each other, and not long after, Jeffrey reached out to collaborate, take photos together, and explore their new city. They set a date to meet…but instead of just creating photos, they found something neither of them expected—they found love.
