Stephanie + Leonardo | Hotel Venezia

How many of you believe in love at first sight? What about proposing marriage at first sight?! Although it didn't happen QUITE like that for these two, it was pretty close! They met online through mutual friends, but lived on opposite ends of the country with Stephanie in Florida and Leonardo in California. They developed such a strong relationship despite the distance, and the first time they met in person he PROPOSED! That can't be all that common... What a sweet beginning to what I'm sure will be a long life of love and good memories. Given just the way they look at each other, I have no doubts.

This day was absolutely wonderful. Stephanie really thought out each individual detail, and her mother and grandmother helped a ton. There was rain of course because it's Florida, but it stopped in time for us to take their photos on the beach, and then stopped again for us to do their sparkler exit. The timing couldn't have been better. When Stephanie and her father broke in the dance floor with their wow-ing father-daughter dance, everyone was ready to get out there! And they did! I loved working with these families.

Please take a peek below at my favorites from their special day!
