Stephanie and Gian's love story began at the Green Eggs Cafe where they both worked. G had an immediate attraction to Stephanie, but it took a year of persistence before she agreed to go on a date with him. It was all worth it for G because he found the love of his life.
Stephanie fell in love with Gian's true nature, which was hidden behind his hard exterior. She was touched by his caring and selfless soul and how he made her feel like the most important person in the room. For Gian, Stephanie's beauty and calming presence stole his heart.
Stephanie knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Gian when he helped her through a tough time. He listened to her struggles and gave her advice on how to live her life for herself, not for others. For Gian, he realized that he couldn't live without Stephanie when he found himself constantly thinking about her.
The Proposal:
When Gian proposed during Covid, he made sure to have Stephanie's family there because they were so important to her. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, while her sisters and niece cheered him on. It was a special moment that Stephanie will never forget.
As they prepare for their wedding day, Stephanie and Gian are most looking forward to seeing each other for the first time and walking down the aisle together as a married couple. Their love story is a testament to the power of persistence and the joy of finding your soulmate.

Let's Talk About Your Wedding!
"I highly recommend hiring Ralph Deal as your wedding photographer! Our pictures turned out beautifully and we got all of the shots that we wanted. Ralph was such a great communicator leading up to the wedding. We had several meetings to discuss what we wanted for our wedding, which was extremely helpful. Ralph wanted to know every detail about us and the wedding day and was very thorough. I especially recommend Ralph because he made the day run so smoothly. Because my fiancée and I didn’t want to do a first look, we had a very tight amount of time to get our pictures taken in. Ralph was so good at directing us, our bridal party, and our families so he could quickly get the perfect shots. We spent the 2 hours between the mass ending and the reception starting getting all of the photos we wanted. Ralph was so efficient that we didn’t miss 1 minute of our cocktail hour! Ralph is not only a great photographer, but a nice and fun person to work with. I feel like we got to know Ralph and he got to know us. It was so nice working with someone who made us feel so comfortable. And like I said, our pictures are absolutely gorgeous.
I’m so glad we had Ralph as our photographer to capture our day!"
