It happened in Rome on New Year’s Eve. Amidst the celebration, he pulled out a ring. The crowds were so dense, he couldn’t get down on one knee. But she knew. Tears streamed down her face and she said yes. It was a night they will always remember.
Andrea and Matt are two people that are meant to be together. High school sweethearts, they dated for over six years before that amazing night in Rome. Meeting them, you can’t help but get caught up in their zest for life. We’re so excited for their wedding.
There’s something about Maria and Jonathan that makes me smile. Perhaps it is the way they look at each other. Or how much their family and friends adore them. Or it could just be Jonathan’s amazing dance moves during “Teach Me How to Dougie.” Their wedding day was full of laughter, happy tears, and love. Lots and lots of love.
A friend once said, “Genuine people are easy to spot and a pleasure to know.”
I couldn’t agree more.

Jonah has worked along side Michael for the past five years. During that time, they played on several soccer teams together and Jonah watched Michael totally fall in love with Shannon. Once you meet Shannon, it’s no surprise as to why. She lights up a room with her infectious smile. She’s sincere and warm. She also happens to be an amazing opera singer.
Capturing one last memory of their time in Cincinnati, we walked the streets of Mount Adams—the place where Michael proposed. Jonah and I couldn’t be more excited for them as they begin their new lives together in Florida. Congrats Michael and Shannon—You will be missed.
