Alex and Ben are a super sweet, fun-loving, down-to-earth couple. What I love most about them though is how much they absolutely adore each other. Being involved in weddings is a constant reminder to me of how lucky I am to have my own husband that I love wholeheartedly- but it is always invigorating when a couple comes along that truly inspires me to be a better wife to Greg. Just watching the two of them interact- how gentle, respectful, and kind they are to one-another; every couple should strive for this. And they are living it on a daily basis. I was obviously very touched and blessed to be a part of their wedding, and even luckier to get to work with Gabriel of Gabriel Ryan Photographers again- it has been too long! Here are my favorites from the beautiful and personal day.

Alex and her bridesmaids got ready at Alex’s parents’ home- the same place the reception was at later in the evening. I can only imagine how special it must be to be in a place filled with so much comfort and love on one of the biggest days of a woman’s life…



Alex chose to take a part of her moms wedding gown (the lace cuff, to be specific) and have it wrapped around her bouquet. Loved that idea!


Meanwhile, Benny and the guys got ready at Terranea- where the ladies would join them later for Alex and Ben’s first look and portraits.




The ocean front ceremony location was perfect for the beach-loving duo.





Soft, romantic and vintage inspired details were the name of the game.
