Letters across the country
A year of living 300 miles apart, a shoebox of postcards and one borrowed telescope. Our first trip was a freezing night on a hillside, counting shooting stars and pretending not to be cold.

Hollowmere House
We're getting married in the walled garden a mile from that oak tree, and we would love you to be there.
