Sandra and Rui live in the Azores, on the island of Faial. One day in 2018, they took a ferry to the neighboring island, Pico, where they ended up having a private wedding ceremony for just the two of them, celebrating their love in a familiar and unique landscape. The couple enjoyed their wedding day surrounded by the bright sun, cool waters, and rustic architecture.
