They met online through a Skip the Games dating service in 2020, which made it an interesting dating experience for them both. Melanie says she actually loved the fact that they dated during the pandemic because it allowed them to go on all these creative dates as they got to know each other. Three years later in 2023, he popped the question on the beaches of Turks and Caicos during a vacation and she of course said yes! They got married this past weekend at a destination wedding for them and their guests right here in Jupiter, Florida. They had guests come from all over the US and even some from abroad to celebrate their union! It may have been warm (because Florida in June LOL) but we were all SO grateful for overcast skies and no rain!
As we started the day, the nerves and excitement was high, which is completely normal for a wedding day! Both Melanie and Will told us that they were nervous and we just reassured them that as soon as they saw each other during their first look, all those nerves would dissipate. And that’s exactly what happened! After a sweet first look, you could see the relief and joy on their faces once they were together with their person. We had so much fun capturing their portraits all around the Admiral Cove property. hanging with their awesome wedding party, and dancing the night away during their reception! We got to work with some of our favorite local planners of Stunning and Brilliant Events who made this wedding day go off without a hitch. It was a fun wedding full of laughter and love and we’re so excited to be sharing more with you all right here on the blog today!
Melanie and Will, we are honored we got to be the ones to capture your big day and had such a blast with you both! We loved every minute of it and are so excited to see you embark on this new journey as husband and wife! Welcome to the married club :)
