Kirsten + Joseph | Elegant Sundy House Wedding

Elegant Sundy House Wedding in Delray Beach, Florida

On Sunday, November 5th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Kirsten and Joseph's elegant Sundy House wedding! Their wedding took place at a whimsical and quaint venue, The Sundy House in Delray Beach, Florida. A simply stunning venue that is well known for its delectable dining and breathtaking botanical garden!

This was our third time documenting a wedding at this venue and every time has been a dream! We actually captured our first wedding there over seven years ago and our second wedding there was just last year! We always enjoy working at The Sundy House!

From the moment we met Kirsten and Joseph at their engagement session, we knew their day would be something special! There were so many sweet moments throughout the day but one of the things that struck me the most was how Joseph was already so welcomed and loved by Kirsten's family! Family flew in from all over the world for their wedding! It was so heartwarming to witness all the love surrounding these two!

The Love Story:

Kirsten and Joseph met coincidentally at a wedding! It was at their groomsman Russell's wedding that they met for the first time. They both knew instantly that they had just met someone "different". They began dating in November of 2015. Their relationship grew quickly and within a very short time they both knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Jay said, "I love you" first, on Christmas Eve 2015. On March 16th, 2016, Joseph popped the question at an art museum. Joseph is a welder, so he made a unique sculpture of a giant ring with a photo of Kirsten within it. As soon as she saw it, he got down on one knee behind her. She turned around to find him kneeled and about to ask the question of a lifetime.

Special Thanks

Kirsten and Joseph, thank you so much for choosing us to document your stunning wedding day! It was such an honor being a part of your big day! We hope you enjoy your wedding photos for many years to come! We wish you all the best in this wonderful new season of life! And we hope you are enjoying your time in Italy as much as we did!

Jessica + Trey | Dreamy Jupiter Beach Wedding

Dreamy Jupiter Beach Wedding at the Jupiter Civic Center

On September, 30th 2017, Andrew and I had the honor of documenting Jessica and Trey's dreamy Jupiter beach wedding! Where do I begin with Jessica and Trey!? They are fun, thoughtful, giving and so great to just be around. All around dream couple!

Their wedding day was absolutely breathtaking! During the weekend of their wedding, the weather was supposed to be very windy and rainy but we were all praying for a beautiful day for this beautiful couple and that is exactly what they got! The day was better than we could have ever dreamed. It was very cloudy, giving an even, dreamy light and the breeze was cool and refreshing!

Their wedding day was a beautiful reflection of their incredible love story! You may remember some of it from their engagement shoot blog post! But seriously, their story could be the next Nicolas Sparks novel! Don't believe me? Read it for yourself! ;)

The Love Story

Trey and Jessica met while working at the Ko'Olina Golf Course in Hawaii. Jessica had just moved there the month prior and was working towards her Hawaii state massage license. Trey was in the process of getting his real estate license and wanted to play a lot of free golf.

On Jessica's first day, she was so nervous because she was the only girl on the team, but Trey came up and introduced himself right away and her first thought was, “Finally! Someone close to my age who’s from the mainland!”. He ended up being one of her trainers and she had never laughed as hard in her life as when they were together. Jessica felt like they had been friends for years, and started looking forward to the days when they would work together.

They eventually started hanging out after work and spending days off together. One night they went up to the North Shore and took a bottle of wine down to the beach. The sky was incredibly clear that night and full of stars. They laid in the sand, talked, and stared at the stars. Then he said "How incredible is this universe that a guy from Maryland and a girl from Kansas met in the middle of the ocean after all of these years," and then he kissed her! Her stomach was naturally doing flips and she knew in that very moment, that it was the start of something incredible.

Special Thanks

Jessica and Trey, thank you so much for choosing us to document your gorgeous wedding day! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your big day! We wish you nothing but the best as you begin this wonderful new season of life!

Jocelyn + Ajay | Palm Beach Destination Wedding

An Intimate Palm Beach Destination Wedding

On Sunday, May 7th, 2017 Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Jocelyn and Ajay's intimate destination wedding. Their Palm Beach destination wedding took place at The Chesterfield Hotel in Palm Beach, FL. Jocelyn and Ajay actually had two destination weddings. While they live in San Fransico, CA, Ajay's family lives in India and Jocelyn's family lives in South Florida. With elderly family members unable to travel, they decided to have two weddings. One wedding in India and another in Palm Beach, FL.

Jocelyn and Ajay did a fantastic job planning their Palm Beach destination wedding! You would never know it took them only 5 weeks to plan it! They wanted a simple intimate wedding with an elegant ceremony and a simple cocktail reception. The Chesterfield Hotel in Palm Beach, FL, offered them just that. This historic hotel gave an elegant charm to the affair. The perfect venue for an intimate Palm Beach wedding.

Ajay and Jocelyn, thank you so much for entrusting us to document your Palm Beach destination wedding! It was such an honor being a part of your second big day! We wish you all the best in this wonderful new season of life!

Alana + Dave | Dreamy Spring Wedding at the Addison in Boca Raton, FL

A Dreamy Spring Addison Wedding

On Friday, April 21st, 2017, Andrew and I had the honor of capturing Alana & Dave's dreamy wedding at the Addison in Boca Raton, Florida. Their wedding day featured many unique details that made their wedding day truly their own.

We first met Alana and Dave at Kristine & Tristan's wedding a little over a year ago. I captured a photo of Alana & Dave during their wedding and then they contacted us to capture their wedding! I love when I can look back and see the chain of client referrals that brought us our current client. A chain of four different referrals brought us Alana and Dave!

About their Addison Wedding

Alana's wedding dress was a showstopper. The stunning cut and intricate beading made her dress one to remember. Dave wore a gray suit with a white tie to match his bride. Pops of a deep purple and light green brought some color to this elegant wedding. For the favors, Dave's mother hand-made green ceramic votive candle holders. They were each unique and stamped at the bottom with Dave and Alana's names and wedding date!

One of my favorite details about their day was the band Dave brought together for their reception! Dave has been a professional musician for many years, so when it came time to select the entertainment for their wedding reception he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He began calling some of his life-long friends and hand selected the entire band. He brought together an incredible team with over 8 members! They had never played together before but you would never have guessed that! They kept the party alive all night long!

On top of having a terrific band he also arranged to have some special performances by different guests! Just when the music and the day couldn't get any sweeter, Dave got on stage and performed a song with the band dedicated to Alana! It was the sweetest thing ever! To hear the full song click here.
