Michelle + Alejandro | Dreamy Singer Island Beach Wedding
A Dreamy Singer Island Beach Wedding
On Sunday, February 19th, 2017 Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Michelle and Alejandro's dreamy Singer Island beach wedding at the Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort. This dreamy wedding was a perfect blend of whimsical feels and rustic touches. Their wedding chuppah by Kish Events brought these two elements together seamlessly. Rustic branches formed the structure while soft ivory flowers and lush greenery decorated the front.
One of my favorite details from this wedding was Michelle's wedding gown. She wore a stunning ivory gown that had a gorgeous strappy back. This was the perfect gown for a beach wedding. It flowed so effortlessly in the breeze and its simple style fit the beach feel so well.
Michelle and Alejandro, thank you for having us be a part of your gorgeous wedding day! It was such a pleasure capturing your big day!
Their Love Story:
They met on Tinder. He lived in Pembroke Pines and she lived in Palm Beach Gardens, but they both worked in Lake Worth so that's how they were matched. In Alejandro's Tinder profile, he had stated that he was from Argentina, which immediately caught Michelle's eye because so was she. They talked on the phone a few times before they met in person. But within a week of the day they matched, they went on their first date.Their first date was on September 6th, 2014, where they met halfway at Mizner Park in Boca Raton and had dinner at the Yard House. After dinner, they began to stroll the streets of the Mizner area while chatting and getting to know one another. By the time they looked at the clock, eight hours had passed.Alejandro even played guitar for her later in the parking garage. They saw each other a few more times in the week that followed, during which he formally asked her to be his girlfriend twice and actually got turned down. It wasn't until the following Saturday when they met at the beach in Hollywood and he asked again and she finally said yes!Michelle was the first to say "I love you" on their one-month anniversary of dating, on a Rubik's cube that she made him with pictures of them. One of the sides was a little note she wrote him, which said, "I love you" at the end. On their one-year anniversary, Alejandro popped the big question. One simple evening at home after dinner he pulled out the ring box. After a few heartfelt remarks, he asked her the question and, of course, she said yes!

Lindsay + Gyles | Tropical Beach Wedding in Bonita Springs, FL
A Breezy Tropical Beach Wedding at The Club at Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida
On Saturday, October 8th, 2016 Andrew and I had the pleasure of traveling to the West coast of Florida for Gyles & Lindsay's tropical beach wedding at the Club at Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida. This tropical beach wedding was an eye-catching array of vibrant colors and breezy, beachy vibes. The bridesmaids wore bright pink strapless gowns and the groomsmen wore white button-down shirts with light khaki slacks. Bright pink parasols and streamers filled the ceremony scene as the stunning couple made their way down the aisle as husband and wife for the first time!
Every detail came together so perfectly to bring the tropical theme to life. The Club at Barefoot Beach was the perfect beach front venue and the staff was amazing! It was our first time capturing a wedding in Bonita Springs, Florida, so it was a delightful change of scenery! We also had the chance to work with some amazing local vendors! They graciously welcomed us 'out-of -towners' and were a pleasure to work with!
Lindsay was a special bride because she has been in three other weddings we have captured. She was a bridesmaid in Brittany & Josh's wedding is 2014, Danielle and John's wedding in 2015 and Rochelle & Scott's wedding earlier this year! Plus she will also be in her sister Lauren's wedding in July of 2017! This whole wedding felt like a family reunion for us! All three of our previous couples were there with their families so it was quite wonderful to see them all!
Lindsay & Gyles, thank you so much for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of capturing your amazing wedding day! So honored to have been a part of your big day! We wish many years of happiness!
These bouquets by Signature Florals were amazing! So this creative pose was all Andrew's idea! Rochelle & Scott who you may remember from their wedding at the Addison earlier this year! Three of my brides in one photo! Love these ladies!
