They decided to give LOVE a chance three and a half years ago, when they both decided to give online dating a try. Not expecting too much from it, but figured they had nothing to loose. There was a gut feeling that made Tammy reach out to Brian first, thinking that maybe there was something special.

After that day, they spent hours talking over the phone. Long conversations together with inexplicable feelings, they finally decided to meet up a week later for dinner at a Coral Gables restaurant...a six hour long dinner!

Two and a half years later Tammy and Brian took a trip to “Playa del Carmen.” They had this beautiful background of the blue ocean and the peaceful sounds of the waves at the beach. He got on one knee and asked her to marry him. Their destiny was sealed that day forever. Today they celebrated an intimate and perfect South Florida wedding, surrounded by the ones that love them the most.

Long months of planning their beautiful wedding, Stephanie and Michael are finally saying, "Yes". It was a beautiful and bright day in Miami. The nice breeze of December yet not cold makes this, the perfect day for a celebration. They got ready for their big day in suites just apart from each other, at the majestic Biltmore Hotel. Surrounded by a big party of friends, enjoying lots of laughs and accompanied by glasses of champagne.

The ceremony took place at the Church across the street from the Biltmore, Coral Gables Congregation Church. It was a touching ceremony filled with beautiful traditions where the bride and groom committed to each other to a life of friendship and happiness. Their married lives began with a kiss but their love was written long before that moment.

Officially Mr. and Mrs., Stephanie and Michael walked together again, holding hands, with the biggest of the smiles, inside their gorgeous reception. Prepared with the cutest details and the perfect colors, they enjoyed a night packed with the best toasts, music and dance. An aura of love and support that made this reception an epic party.

Stephanie and Michael, thank you for the honor of documenting your day. We hope the next chapter as husband and wife continues to shine as you grow together. May your future bring joy and happiness to your life.

They met on the first day of orientation at law school, back in 2004. Fortunately they were placed in the same first-year class section and quickly became best friends. Samantha & Prem spent much of their time throughout the law school years in class together, studying in the library and even going to the gym. Their friendship soon blossomed into the love today they share for each other.

Although they are quite busy with their careers, they make sure to keep up the fun. They enjoy a good amount of joking and competition with each other. They enjoy traveling to off-the-beaten paths (some would say dangerous) destinations, taking very long walks throughout New York City and spending time with family and friends.

They fell in love in a big New York way, and they continue to dream about their life looking forward to becoming husband and wife. Today we took them for a fun engagement session as they plan a beautiful wedding in Florida, during the next few months.

They first met online on a dating site. Richey made the first move by initiating the conversation, however they didn’t hit it off immediately. Their friends Carol and Anish reintroduced them later, and finally the connection sparked between them. They’re both so thankful for that moment; if it wasn’t for them, they honestly believe they wouldn’t be together today. They both enjoy exploring new restaurants and share their love for traveling.

We took them on a gorgeous day to celebrate their love. Their friendship was immortalized by every single photo we took, and Coconut Grove served as the perfect scenario for such an amazing time. We shared laughs, stories and the beautiful landscapes of the city life. They’re both looking forward to be husband and wife and spending their lives forever.
