Rachel & Nick 

Rachel and Nick’s love story took them to the stunning shores of Aruba, where they tied the knot on May 13th, 2023, at the breathtaking Hyatt Resort. As their chosen photography and videography team, we were honored to capture the magic of their destination wedding from the very beginning.  

Rachel and Nick prepared for their big day in their respective rooms. The attention to detail was evident as we saw beautifully customized invitations and other delightful wedding goodies. Rachel looked like a vision in her exquisite wedding dress, a stunning blend of lace and organza, complemented by elegant shoes adorned with pearls. Her bouquet, a mesmerizing arrangement of white roses, added the perfect touch of sophistication. 

Nick, dressed impeccably in a navy blue suit, and his groomsmen radiated pure excitement as we captured their contagious enthusiasm in the lush gardens of the Hyatt. The anticipation was palpable, and we knew it was going to be a day filled with love and joy.

The talented team at Love Stories by Epic had worked their magic on the wedding coordination and wedding decor, creating an elegantly chic beach ceremony setting. The centerpiece, a circular arch draped in lush greenery and delicate white roses, provided the perfect backdrop for Rachel and Nick to exchange their heartfelt vows.

As Rachel walked down the aisle, there was not a dry eye in sight. Nick’s emotional reaction to seeing his beautiful bride was heartwarming, and it reaffirmed the deep love they shared. 

The post-ceremony celebrations were filled with heartfelt speeches. The mother of the bride imparted wisdom on creating a family legacy, emphasizing the importance of cherishing memories together beyond material possessions. And the best man, drawing from his two years of married experience, shared five valuable pieces of advice: to be each other’s best friend, to resolve conflicts before going to bed, to embrace change, to never give up on each other, and to let go of the little things. 

As their photography and videography team, we felt privileged to capture these touching moments, knowing that they were just the beginning of Rachel and Nick’s extraordinary journey together. They will undoubtedly continue their adventure side by side, exploring the world and creating countless new memories as they embark on this beautiful chapter of their lives together. We wish them all the love and happiness in the world as they navigate this exciting path ahead.

Gabriela and Scott’s journey together began in Albany, where they met in college through mutual friends. Gabriela was drawn to Scott’s humor—something he modestly claims isn’t always appreciated. After nine years of love, laughter, and building a life together, they chose the breathtaking Renaissance Island in Aruba to celebrate their next chapter. 

The ceremony was set against the pristine shores of the exclusive Renaissance Aruba private island, home to Aruba’s iconic flamingos. With turquoise waters as their backdrop, Gabriela and Scott exchanged vows under a lush circular arch of tropical greenery. The natural elegance of the decor harmonized beautifully with the wedding party’s attire, featuring shades of green and beige. 

Gabriela’s satin halter gown, complete with a flowing train, captured the essence of timeless sophistication, while Scott looked effortlessly stylish in his tailored linen suit. The evening was graced by an unforgettable sunset that bathed the island in warm hues of pink and gold—a moment we were honored to capture through both photography and video. 

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the energy shifted to celebration. Guests were treated to a lively performance by Carnival dancers, bringing the vibrant spirit of Aruba’s culture to life. The joyous atmosphere carried into the night as friends and family danced under the stars. With beats by the iconic DJ Ruuben, they created memories that will last a lifetime. Gabriela and Scott’s day was one filled with emotion, beauty, and joy, uniquely tailored to reflect their love story. Let us capture the magic of your own wedding in paradise and turn your special day into unforgettable memories.

Their connection grew naturally, leading them to celebrate their commitment with a beautifully timeless wedding at the Marriott, surrounded by family, friends, and the breathtaking backdrop of Aruba.

Her exceptionally long veil, hung from a half-updo, carried matching floral embellishments that intensified toward the fully embroidered hem, adding a touch of whimsy as it flowed behind her.

Emily carried a classic white bouquet with mixed florals and green accents, perfectly complementing the natural, sophisticated vibe of the ceremony. She wore silver, embellished kitten heels, a practical yet stylish choice, and for her first dance, her gown’s long skirt featured a hidden button that allowed her to carefully tie it up, making it both beautiful and functional. Elias, looking sharp in a three-piece linen suit with a slate blue tie, complemented the cool, coastal palette of the day. His groomsmen matched his look, adding cohesion to the wedding party.

Maria and Brendon, a young couple from New Jersey, recently celebrated their love in a stunning wedding at the Hyatt in Aruba, with the event meticulously coordinated by EPIC. Their story is one of determination, love, and commitment—a journey that began in the most modern of ways: on Tinder.

From the very beginning, Brendon’s brother knew this relationship was different. He couldn’t recall a time when Brendon was more certain about anything in his life. Despite the challenges of distance, with Maria in Brooklyn and Brendon in New Jersey, the couple persevered. Their
dedication to each other was evident in the countless trips back and forth across state lines, proving that love truly knows no bounds.

seamlessly into her impressively large lace veil. Her look was completed with a sparkling tiara atop her elegant updo and natural, radiant makeup. Brendon complemented her perfectly in a sharp 3-piece beige suit, while the bridal party dazzled in sage satin dresses with off-the-shoulder necklines.

The combination of the natural beauty of Aruba and the elegant decor created an atmosphere of pure magic. The reception that followed was nothing short of a grand celebration. With a massive family in attendance, the party carried on into the late hours of the night, filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories.

A few days after the wedding, Maria and Brendon embarked on an island tour—a unique honeymoon adventure that was more than just a photoshoot. They visited some of Aruba’s most picturesque and secluded spots, capturing their love against breathtaking backdrops. What made this experience even more special was that their photographer, Rafael, who had already developed a strong bond with them during the wedding, was there to document this new chapter of their journey together.

Sarah and Sean’s love story blossomed amidst chance encounters and heartfelt connections, culminating in a breathtaking beach wedding in the picturesque setting of Aruba. From emotional
first looks to heartfelt vows and personalized touches, their wedding day was a celebration of love, family, and cherished memories.

The wedding took place at Pure Ocean at Divi Phoenix, with the expert coordination of Aruba Weddings For You ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Featuring palm trees, the wedding stationery captured the essence of Aruba’s tropical charm, setting the tone for a beachy and romantic celebration. A circular gold wedding arch adorned with delicate white and pink roses and lush Monstera Deliciosa leaves framed the couple against the backdrop of Aruba’s pristine beach and swaying palm trees. Minimalist white chairs and bistro lights added a touch of elegance, allowing the natural beauty of the surroundings to shine.

Sarah’s bouquet was a nosegay of pink and white roses with a hint of yellow, accented by a pendant bearing the image of her late grandfather, affectionately known as “Bumpa.” This personal detail added a heartfelt touch to her wedding ensemble. Her dress was adorned with intricate flower patterns, complemented by a long veil with a beaded border trim. Her braided half-updo and flowing curls exuded beachy elegance, perfectly complemented by white block
kitten heels ideal for a seaside ceremony.

In keeping with the beach theme, the couple and their guests enjoyed sipping coconut water straight from the coconut, a refreshing and hydrating treat provided by Dr. Coco.

Caitlin & Miles  

Caitlin and Miles’s love story began with a little push from fate. Introduced by Caitlin’s father, their initial meeting set the stage for a journey that would intertwine their lives forever. Their first date— whether it was mini golf or a steak dinner—marked the start of a beautiful adventure. Caitlin remembers the laughter shared over mini golf, and Miles, a perfect gentleman, recalls their delightful dinner. Yet, Caitlin playfully insists that Miles lost to her at mini golf, a fact he might refute! 

Caitlin’s wedding dress was a vision of elegance—a white satin ball gown adorned with delicate floral appliqués, exuding charm and grace. As her father gently placed her veil, her radiance captured the essence of a bride ready to embark on a lifelong journey of love.

Their Aruba beach ceremony at Divi Phoenix resort was a dream, with a stunning arch embellished with a mix of white flowers, greenery, and the graceful sway of Pompus Grass in the Caribbean breeze. The bohemian-styled PureOcean reception was a sight to behold, with natural tones, complementing the 2-tier naked wedding cake adorned with white roses, leaves, and gold leaf accents. We had the pleasure of collaborating with the incredible team from “Aruba Weddings For You!” in orchestrating this unforgettable event.

Emotions ran high during the ceremony, with tears of joy flowing freely. Even the groom, Miles, was moved by the moment, which amused his mother-in-law. The reception was a blend of heartfelt moments and creativity, with guests capturing TikTok-style videos incorporated into the final wedding video. The bride’s little sister and best friend’s musical performance added an unforgettable touch to the celebration.

Miles shared his “jigsaw theory,” likening life to a puzzle where family and friends form the edges, work and leisure fill the middle, and the missing piece—the one you spend your life with— completes the picture. Caitlin was the missing piece in his life’s puzzle, a sentiment he shared early on in their relationship, setting the stage for their beautiful journey together.

Their wedding was a reflection of their unique love story, each detail meticulously crafted to celebrate their union. Personalized details like an inscribed ring box, his- and hers gold rimmed seashell wedding ceremony ring holders, and invitations reflecting a “passport to marriage”, every element was a testament to their love.

The seamless capture of these elements was made possible through the thoughtful choice of an extensive videography package. This strategic decision allowed us ample time to comprehensively document the intricate details.

Brian and Bree

Brian and Bree

Brian and Bree

It all came down to a split decision. It was 3 am in Manhattan, and Bree was more than ready to call it a night after a fun evening out with friends, but she begrudgingly agreed to go to one last bar, called Prohibition. By then, the crowd at the bar had thinned out and the band was packing up their gear. As fate would have it, Bree struck up a conversation with a friend of the band, who kept insisting that Bree meet the band’s bass player, Brian. An introduction was made, and the two were left to their own devices.

Brian was used to getting a lot of attention during shows, but he took his gigs seriously, and he didn’t usually put too much stock into such encounters. He was also simply a really busy guy with a lot on his plate, working as a marketing account executive by day, playing shows at night, and being a father to his son, Mason. Life was moving fast for him, and he was doing everything he could to keep up. But there was something different about Bree. He was exhausted from the gig, yet so intrigued by this beautiful woman. Brian recognized this wasn’t just a random woman trying to cozy up to the band. As the conversation rolled on, Brian started to see that the inner beauty matched her outer beauty. They exchanged phone numbers, and he called her the next day to see where things might go.

Well, things decidedly went pretty far, as the couple tied the knot about 10 years later on July 22, 2022 on the beautiful island of Aruba. As the bride and groom got ready in separate rooms, our team had the opportunity to learn more about the couple while documenting their loving words for one another for their wedding video. Brian spoke highly of how Bree builds people up, supports them, and helps them to become the best version of themselves. He also admits that he was instantly awestruck by Bree’s beauty when they first met, and he considers himself a very lucky guy. Bree shared how much she appreciates Brian’s sense of humor—he can always make her laugh. And while he seems tough, he is the most caring person she knows, which we also saw firsthand. Oh, and she loves his perfect eyebrows! (Ha ha!)

The simply elegant wedding on the shores of Sandpiper Beach at the Divi Aruba All Inclusive Resort was absolutely gorgeous. The handwritten vows, the sand ceremony, the unforgettable sunset—it was all perfect. But the real show-stopper was when Brian’s best man—his son, Mason—gave a speech where he mentioned how happy he is that his family is now officially united. He feels lucky that his dad found Bree, who treats Mason as if he is her own son and is always in his corner. Mason also pointed out that

while he may be the best man for his dad’s wedding, it’s his dad who is truly the best man. We also loved that Brian and Bree chose their friend Brian to officiate their wedding.
In our experience, it’s so much more fun when a friend officiates the wedding. Not only are lots of laughs guaranteed, but the couple’s story is told so much better. We learned about how Bree has fostered Brian’s remarkable personal growth and how Brian’s humor keeps Bree’s stress at bay. It’s stories like these that enrich the story we tell of a couple’s wedding through videography and photography.

As Brian (the officiant) pointed out, Brian and Bree have been doing the work of marriage for years, evident in the life that they share and in the home they have made together. It simply became official on July 22, 2022. Our team was truly honored to capture this official day for them, and we wish them all the best!
