Maria & Joe Casa Marina Wedding

May 15

As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing the beautiful love story of Joe and Maria. Their journey together began during a beach trip with Maria's best friend, Marie-Elena. Little did they know that this trip would change their lives forever.

It all started when Marie-Elena invited her friend Nick, who happened to be Joe's neighbor and childhood friend, to join them on their beach adventure. Joe and Maria instantly hit it off and connected on a deep level. Walking along the sandy shores, their conversations flowed effortlessly, and a special bond began to form.

The spark between them grew stronger when Marie-Elena and Maria invited Joe to a concert they were attending - Warped Tour. Without hesitation, Joe eagerly bought his ticket and joined them. It was during the set of one of their favorite bands, Taking Back Sunday, that Joe and Maria shared their first kiss, sealing their fate as a couple.

Since that magical moment, Joe and Maria have been inseparable, embarking on a remarkable journey together. As they celebrated their 10-year anniversary on July 24th, they also planned their wedding with excitement and anticipation.

Joe's proposal to Maria was a moment filled with thoughtfulness and sentiment. During a trip to Martha's Vineyard, they stayed at the beautiful Harbor View Hotel, savoring the island's charm. Little did Maria know, Joe had arranged a special photoshoot for them at the breathtaking Aquinas Cliffs during sunset. Understanding the significance of capturing their love through photography, Joe seized this perfect moment to create an everlasting memory. As Maria turned away for a solo shot, Joe dropped to one knee and asked the most important question of their lives. Overwhelmed with joy and love, she said yes, marking the beginning of their journey towards marriage.

One of the greatest joys that Joe and Maria share as a couple is their love for travel. They have embarked on unforgettable adventures, from exploring the enchanting landscapes of Japan and China to skiing in the majestic mountains of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and even the West Coast destinations like Aspen, Lake Tahoe, and Jackson Hole. Their passion for travel is so profound that they decided to have a destination wedding, inviting their loved ones to join them on a remarkable journey to celebrate their union.

As their wedding photographer, I had the honor of capturing the magic of their special day. Surrounded by their friends and family, Joe and Maria exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony filled with love and joy. The reception at the Southernmost Beach Resort was a celebration to remember, with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts.

Witnessing their love and the happiness radiating from everyone present was truly inspiring. Joe and Maria's wedding was a testament to their deep connection and unwavering commitment to each other.

Congratulations to Joe and Maria on their wedding day. May your love continue to grow and may your journey together be filled with endless adventures, cherished memories, and a lifetime of happiness.
