Their families had been friends for years, and somehow Alissa and Gian-Paul had never met. Alissa’s mom became close friends with Gian-Paul’s stepdad but they never seemed to cross paths. They had only seen each other in pictures the family had shown them, but never seemed to be in the same place at the same time. When they finally met, they became friends, and developed a relationship, get this, via Facebook, because Gian-Paul lived in Jacksonville and Ali lived in West Palm Beach. They dated long distance and Gian-Paul finally popped the question a few years later. They tied the knot this past Saturday on their 6 year anniversary and we were so honored to be a part of it.
Alissa’s sister is a wedding photographer in West Palm Beach and when Alissa reached out to us that her sister recommended us, we were so humbled! Crystal is amazing, and the fact that she would recommend us, we were SO honored. We knew Ali and Gian-Paul were sweet, and once we spent some time around both of their families on the wedding day, we knew exactly where they got it from! Their families have such a beautiful heart and they treated us as if we were one of their own, which only made the wedding day even better than it already was! We LOVED every minute of Alissa and Gian-Paul’s wedding day and we are so excited to share our favorites with all of you today!
So cute that she had her white Toms for the dancing!
Such a stunning bride! Loved these bouquets! Swoon fest over here with this dress! And we can’t forget our handsome groom! First kiss as husband and wife! We loved this bridal party so much! These girls were just the sweetest! I don’t even know the story behind this photo but when they said they wanted to run, we went with it and we lost it laughing! The way he makes her laugh is the best! Let’s just have a moment of silence to take in the beauty of the back of this dress! FAVORITE! This is my favorite picture of Ali! Isn’t she the cutest?!We love us a good dad, and Ali’s dad is amazing! And Gian-Paul’s mom has to be one of the sweetest moms we’ve ever met! First dance as Mr. and Mrs! And then the party started!
Alissa and Gian-Paul, you guys were an absolute dream to work with! We LOVED your wedding and everything about it :) Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of it and we are honored to capture your special day! We love you guys and welcome to the married club!
