Welcome to Andrea and Gabe’s wedding blog!Â
I am beyond excited to share with you all the amazing moments I captured on their special day. From the moment I met them for their Engagement Session at Lake Eola, I knew their wedding day would be nothing short of magical! Gabe and Andrea’s meeting feels like fate MUST have had a hand in it. They had a serendipitous encounter at work in the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Gabe was transporting patients to Andrea’s floor and used it as an excuse to initiate a conversation. There was an instant spark between them, but it took a few more chance encounters for them to finally exchange numbers. They talked on the phone for hours and became good friends and after a year, Gabe finally confessed his feelings for her in March 2020. Andrea agreed to give their relationship a chance, and they’ve been together ever since.
Gabe proposed to Andrea in Marco Island in front of their close family on December 11, 2021. And now, here we are, at Margaritaville Resort Orlando, celebrating their special day! As their wedding photographer, I can tell you that they are the perfect match. They are so in love and are having a blast with all of their family and friends.
Fast forward to November 4th, 2022, at Margaritaville Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. The day was perfect with the Florida fall weather providing a gentle breeze and the sun shining bright. Their wedding was decorated in a romantic style with white and pink roses everywhere and palm trees swaying above, creating the perfect backdrop for the ceremony.
The ceremony was held at the anchor with a stunning and symbolic view. Andrea walked down the aisle in a beautiful lace gown, and Gabe’s eyes lit up as he saw his bride. They exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest family and friends, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
After the ceremony, it was time to party! The reception was held in a spacious ballroom decorated with colorful flowers and elegant centerpieces. The food was to die for, with latin inspired flavors that added a unique twist to the traditional wedding menu. And let’s not forget about the desserts, which included both Andrea and Gabe’s favorites – tres leches cake and chocolate lava cake.
The party was lively, and the dance floor was never empty. Andrea and Gabe danced the night away, surrounded by their loved ones, and the joy on their faces was infectious. It was evident how much they loved each other, and their warmth and kindness towards everyone around them was truly inspiring.
As a wedding photographer, I have worked with many couples, but Andrea and Gabe’s love for each other was truly special. It was an honor to capture the moments of their wedding day and be a part of their journey. Not to mention, the vendor team was fantastic, and everyone worked together seamlessly to make their day unforgettable.
Andrea and Gabe’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration of their love for each other. From the stunning venue to the delicious food, and the lively party, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection. I wish them all the happiness in the world as they embark on this new journey together, and I am grateful to have been a part of it all.
