How They Met “We know that the kind of love we have is rare and is something that some people never have the chance to experience in their lives, and we are lucky to have found each other and love one another unconditionally. Gianna and I met on the beach in May through mutual friends and what quickly could’ve been just a summer fling or a failed love story turned into the perfect match. “We truly believe that when you know, you know, and with the full love and support from both of our families and friends we knew that it was clear to us and everyone close to us that we were meant to be together and meant for one another! We are truly so grateful and happy that we found our other halves and our soul mate.” Color Palette “The color palette for our wedding is gold, blush, navy, and ivory. The bridesmaids wore Sapphire sequence dresses by Sorella Vita, and each bridesmaid choose a different style that reflected their own personalities.” Groom & Groomsmen “My brother is my MOH he will be wearing a navy tuxedo with a black lapel to match both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids, he’s also having a tie made that is the exact fabric from the ladies dresses, it’s a very nice detail. The groomsmen wore all black tuxedos with navy ties.” A guys gotta look and smell good on his wedding day. This groom went with the MONTBLANC Legend Spirit Eau de Toilette, which could make for a nice groom gift on the morning of your wedding. Either way, there’s a lot of positive Amazon reviews around this fragrance. Lots of great bling here for the groom including navy argyle socks, sapphire cufflinks, and even a dark silk robe with dazzling Groom writing on the back. Who said silk robes are only for the girls to get ready!

We believe it’s all in the little details that really personalize a wedding and make your guests feel like they really play a part in our wedding story and we believe we really executed that well for our big day.” Staying warm while photographing outside at a winter wedding is a must.
