CASSIE + RYAN
September 2024

‘Volcanic Echo' is born of fragments. Each piece, raw and untamed, is shaped by unseen hands. The work is gritty and chaotic, but beautiful all at once. What begins as a spark becomes form, a vision built through force, driven by a relentless pulse. In the end, only the art remains.

This essence resonated throughout Cassie and Ryan’s wedding, where the inspirations were drawn from the pure beauty of the Azores Archipelago.

The mirrored ceremony paid tribute to the mountains of hydrangeas that blanket the islands, featuring approximately 2,000 flower stems, which created an almost otherworldly ethereal presence. In contrast, the dinner that followed was an homage to the Azores' volcanic origins. This theme was not only visual but also palpable through the harsh textures of black basalt stone contrasting with the reflective water mirror on the table.

It was a celebration of life's raw, elemental beauty, where chaos and creation merged into a harmonious tribute to the land and the love that brought everyone together.
