Stories. We all have one. For the fortunate among us, our story may become intwined with someone's else's. Lives are fused together in every way, and nothing is the same again. Every now and then, I witness this fusion, this entanglement... and it reminds me of how incredibly special it is to be able to share your life with someone. Stephanie and Jonathan's wedding day struck this cord with me in a big way. Their connection is obvious. And a pleasure to photograph.

There's so much I could say about this couple and their kind spirits, but a lot of it I've already covered in Part One of their story... If you missed it, take a look here.

I must also thank Stephanie's parents once again... They welcomed me in to their family home, we shared many wonderful meals and a lot of laughter. Despite the language barrier, we talked endlessly about universal topics like family, love, travel and adventure... What could be more worthy of discussion?

The wedding took us on a journey through Valais in Switzerland... from Chalet, to Flanthey and finishing in Sion. One location to the next was quintessentially Swiss and I had to continuously pinch myself whilst winding through the incredible landscape. On one particularly long and a slightly terrifying cable car ride up to the alps from Vercorin (prior to the wedding), A swiss couple told me they were on their way to visit a friend who lives alone on a small farm on a mountain about a 1 hour hike from the nearest town. On the night before their visit, a wolf killed 5 of his sheep. I remember thinking how terrible for the farmer, but how incredible it is that people still live in a place (relatively close to civilatizion) that nature still clashes with humanity in such a way.

Other than a handful of French words and phrases, here are a few things I learned on my adventure:

In Switzerland, people keep potted geranium flowers on their window ledges to keep mosquitoes away. Scorpions are not native to Switzerland, but there is one Castle in Sion that is home thousands of them that roam the property. AND... in Switzerland, wedding parties commonly don't finish until 4 or 5am ;)
