Pricilla first met Michael through his friend at Domaine Serene in downtown Lake Oswego, Oregon. After remaining friends for over a year, they started dating and the rest is history. They found in each other a best friend, someone they could laugh with and share all of their same interests, values & priorities.❤️
Their wedding day couldn't have been better! The weather was amazing and everyone was able to party for a few days at one of Northern California's best resorts. Congratulations to Priscilla and Michael!!❤️

When two coaches decide to make a lifetime commitment, they’re on the path towards creating something beautiful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meet Justin and Mary Kate! They met through a mutual friend at a coaches' social in Atlantic City, which sparked an initial conversation about their mutual love of sports. They continued their conversation the following evening at Boogie Nights and danced the night away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having similar interests and passions made Justin and Mary Kate feel connected right away. They were able to speak openly about their shared love of track and field, working out and going on outdoor adventures. The couple’s love for animals is what led them to rescue a dog on their own before they met, and now their dogs are siblings!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What makes Justin and Mary Kate a great team is their ability to communicate well with one another. As a couple, they both support who they are as individuals and allow and encourage each other to grow into the best versions of themselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The proposal:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The proposal took place on a beautiful bridge in Washington, DC. where they spent their first overnight trip as a couple. Justin bent down to reach into his bag, pulled out a box and proposed. MK said, "yes, of course"!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To Mary Kate's surprise, she heard lots of cheers from some of their closest friends and family who were hiding at the end of the bridge. The proposal was a complete surprise for the bride-to-be, especially with the presence of their friends and family and Justin’s effort for making this momentous day unforgettable!

Meet Jenn and Mike!
They met in medical school and started dating a few months after their rotations ended. They enjoy cooking, traveling and exploring the Philly dining scene together!
The Proposal💍:
During the time Mike was planning the proposal, Jenn was living in Baltimore while Mike lived in Philly. As can happen when planning such an event, a little curveball was thrown at Mike:
“Jenn thought she was coming to her friend's housewarming brunch near Philadelphia that weekend and that Mike would be on call in the hospital. In reality, Mike was planning to propose on top of the Rocky steps in front of the Art Museum.
However, Jenn's car was unexpectedly hit while parked, and she cancelled her travel plans in order to bring the car into the shop!😩
So, Mike called in an emergency change of plans, and traveled to Baltimore with his sister and Jenn's sister.
Jenn's sister Michelle convinced Jenn to dress up and get their nails done that morning before going on a walk to Federal Hill park. Despite the suspicious signs, Jenn was surprised when Mike popped out from behind a statue in the park and dropped down on one knee.”❤️👍
Looking forward to spending the day with Jenn and Mike later this year at @welkinweirweddings!

❤️Jersey shore love story alert!!
For many years, both Dani’s parents and Brian’s parents rented places in Margate. In the summer of 2016, their rentals were each in the same building on Adams Avenue. With Brian's family there for the summer and Dani’s family there for July, Brian was excited to hear on July 4th weekend that a family was moving in next door. That Sunday morning, Brian’s mom called out that there was a pretty girl next door and he jumped at the opportunity to meet her. It was a quick introduction but they would meet again the following night. Before heading to a BBQ, Brian decided to sit out alone on their shared porch, hoping Dani might join him. Luckily Dani’s sister convinced her to go talk to the “cute neighbor”, and they chatted until Brian had to leave. A few days later, Dani received a message on Facebook from Brian saying how nice it was to meet her and asked for her phone number. They continued to spend every weekend together until the end of the summer.
Then, it was Labor Day weekend. Dani went back to Philadelphia and Brian went back to New York. Neither of them knew if they would see each other again. They talked every day and soon Brian made his way to Philadelphia for the weekend. Dani then decided to go to New York a few weekends later and by late October, they were officially dating. For two years, they rarely went a weekend without seeing each other doing whatever it took to see each other. In May 2018, Dani accepted a job in New York and moved there shortly after. One year later, they decided it was time to move in together and now, they are married!!
Many thanks to Dani, Brian and @nictrots. The @whotelphl is amazing!

“We met in college working together as lifeguards! We became friends, later reconnected post college and have been dating for 6 years now❤️
I met with Greg, Mallory and their puppy Porter in Center City for their e-session and within 20 minutes, felt like I had known them for years! Many thanks to M&G for making me feel like an old friend, can’t wait to spend your wedding day with you💕

“He loves the winter and I love the summer. He loves to snowboard, I love the sun. He is an Eagles fan and I am more of a Cowboys fan.”
Talk about opposites attract💯
Meet Kelly & Patrick!
I asked Kelly what the proposal was like:
“Early one week I asked if he would want to grab dinner at a steakhouse we both enjoy and he said of course. So, little did I know, I basically set up my own engagement! He reached out to my family the next day after we planned the dinner to help get everything ready at my sisters house. So, we went to dinner and grabbed some ice cream at our spot, Dairy Queen. Earlier in the day my sister said to stop over because she was having some friends over and for once Patrick said "yes lets go". Now when I think about it, I should have known it was happening lol!
So after sitting in Dairy Queen for 15 minutes, we headed to my sisters house where there were no cars in the driveway. We got out, walked around back and there was both of our families standing up on the hill as a violinist started playing an Elvis song (I started to cry). Next thing I know, Patrick is down on one knee and says "Kelly will you marry me". I of course said yes!
We then enjoyed time with both our families and had an amazing night.”
❤️💕❤️

They met in high school. Heather's best friend had moved to Chris’s town and said "you look a lot like a guy
version of my best friend, you two have to meet" and the rest was history. As of the wedding, we will have been together 15 amazing years!

The Proposal 💍
“We went to NYC with some friends to hang for their engagement photos, little did I know Chris had an entire thing planned out. In the middle of Central Park, he dropped to one knee and asked me to be his wife. After that, we went to Ninja (a really unique restaurant) and then he got me my favorite cupcakes from Magnolia and we celebrated the night away.
He even put together a little video of him telling all of our friends and family that he was going to propose. It was the sweetest, most romantic sentiment, especially him driving all the way to Brooklyn just to ask my grandfather for his blessing. His opinion was the one that meant the most to me, and Chris absolutely knew that. I will cherish that video for ever.” ❤️
I’ve known Chris and Heather for many years and was SO happy to be spending the day with them. Congrats on a beautiful day that celebrated their wonderful 15 year love story!!

“We’ve been together since May of 2015. We met through mutual friends back in 2012, and reconnected three years later. Fast forward a few more years and we bought a 100 year old house in June of 2019, so we’ve been spending our free time restoring it together! When we’re not busy with the house, we love taking walks with our dog Boomer”.
Being one of the most easy going couples I’ve ever worked created this photographers dream day: Not only was it a completely enjoyable, fun day but we actually were ahead of schedule ALL day😄
Not one second of catch up, it was amazing and easy going, just like Gabi & Dom! Many thanks to Gabrielle, Dom and their families for making us feel right at home all day.
Cheers and a lifetime of happiness to Mr. & Mrs. DeLaurentis🥂❤️

“ We met at a wedding, on the dance floor” Gabrielle told me…”Mike worked with the groom and I knew the bride. Mike danced up to me bobbing his head and asked me out on a date”😂
That story of how Gabrielle and Mike met perfectly sums them up: super fun, easy going, loving people. Leading up to their wedding day, I had many hours of enjoyable conversations with them that had absolutely nothing to do with weddings! They (and their families) make you feel like you’ve known them for 20 years even though you just met an hour ago.
Cheers, lots of love and a lifetime of joy to Gabrielle and Mike!❤️❤️ #forevertheflannerys

Imagine moving while planning your wedding😳
Then imagine that move is from Washington DC to Manhattan!!😩
Well, I’m pleased to report that Ali and Alex made that move, didn’t kill each other and they’ll be back in DC in a couple of weeks to celebrate their wedding day. Then go back home to NYC afterwards😂
In the meantime, we took a stroll through Central Park and had some fun❤️

@westvirginiau was the location where this love story begins:
“John and I met through his fraternity and my sorority’s intramural flag football team. We started speaking during games, one thing led to another and then we started dating in the fall of 2017”.
Sunrise proposal?❤️ 🌅:
“John’s original plan was to propose while we were on a trip to Italy but our trip was canceled due to Covid so his plan needed to change.
John and I went to North Myrtle Beach to take a long walk and watch the sunrise. Once we finished our walk and we’re heading back to our car, John asked me to turn around and take a picture. When I turned back to him, he was on one knee👍❤️
This was an incredibly fun day and a GREAT party and celebration. Everything I’ve heard about WVU being a super fun, close knit group of alumni was on display all night. Congratulations to Sabrina and John!!

Fate is defined “the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.” Here’s how Shana and Kyle met: “Kyle was at a friends birthday celebration and he convinced his boys to go to a bar called U-Bahn so he could meet up with a girl he’d been talking to on Tinder. He met her at the bar and quickly caught on that she was essentially using him for a free drink more than anything else😩
Disappointed, he turned back to rejoin his group of friends. As he did, he noticed a girl with gorgeous eyes walk by and knew that he’d regret never introducing himself.
He did, met Shana and the rest is history. Now THAT is fate💕
Other than the fact that Shana’s a Patriots fan and Kyle is a Chiefs fan😳, they are absolutely perfect together!
Best wishes and a lifetime of joy to Mr. & Mrs. Motts. We were thankful to be a part of their amazing day!! #mottsoflove

Deanna & Bobby pt. 2❤️
Manifestation essentially is “bringing something tangible into your life through attraction and belief, i.e. if you think it, it will come.” With that in mind, check out what Deanna explained to me regarding her new husband:
“I was always in love with Bobby since middle school. I love his smile and how goofy he can be. I love how relaxed he is about everything in life and how easy going he is! Actually, in middle school I would write “Mrs. Aquilino” in the back of my notebooks for classes.😂
Yup, I think it’s safe to say that manifesting what you want in life is alive and well!
Congrats and a lifetime of happiness to Deanna & Bobby❤️💕

This amazing couple brought to us courtesy of the Saturday happy hour at the Whitebrier in Avalon, NJ😃💕
After a conversation and exchanging numbers at happy hour one summer afternoon, Tiff looked Kyle up on FB and decided he looked “dorky” and wasn’t into him😳
Ever persistent, Kyle texted Tiff every weekend for a month asking if she was going out that night etc….and never received a response! When they would run into each other, Kyle would offer to buy Tiff a drink , she would say “no” and go hang out with her friends (damn Tiff!)
Later in the summer, Kyle happened to walk by Tiff with two girls by his side and didn’t say hi (strong move Kyle👍) and Tiff called him out on it the next day at happy hour. After that day, they’ve been together ever since❤️❤️
It wasn’t a smooth ride for T&K getting to this day. Actually, that’s an understatement. But with amazing family, friends and each other, they made it through some obstacles and had an incredible day. And I’m not exaggerating, the Ben was f-ing LIT that night!!
Congratulations to Tiff & Kyle! Lots of love and best wishes for a beautiful life together!!
Side note: Please, in my next life, let me be able to dance even half as good as Kyle. It’s all I’m missing in my present life!
