Alfond Inn wedding with lush floral accents

November 17, 2017  |  Jessica & Thomas

Jessica and Thomas actually met while living half a country away from each other! Jessica was in her third year of dental school in Pittsburgh while Thomas was living here in Winter Park. They met through mutual friends (who are actually married and were in their wedding party). So, they decided to try things out! Jessica said she knew from their very first date that she would marry Thomas. It wasn’t until a surprise proposal on the lake at Hillstone that she finally got the chance to say yes!

For me, I knew their wedding day would be incredibly special. I wasn’t surprised at all when I arrived to excited chatter and a calm atmosphere. Everyone was relaxed and ready to see Jessica walk down the aisle to her husband-to-be!

I also got to work with an incredible team, which always makes the day fun and easy! All the planning details were expertly coordinated by Susie Weiss from Wonderful Weddings. The flowers were some of my all time favorites – created by Velvet & Twine. The icing on the cake was working alongside Jeffrey Stoner Video. His behind-the-scene antics are my favorites. From clients to families to vendors – it’s weddings like these that remind me why I love what I do so much!
