Amanda and Matt’s love story began on the sandy shores of Sea Isle, where they met through mutual friends and spent three inseparable days together. From the start, it was clear they were the perfect match—Matt, spontaneous and driven, complemented Amanda’s adventurous spirit.
Both avid travelers and dog lovers, they share a love for their two dogs, Bait and Pepper.

Having both visited Aruba before, Matt, who had been coming to the island for years, and Amanda, who fell in love with the island as well, decided there was no better place to tie the knot than in the tropical paradise of Aruba. Their wedding at the Hilton Aruba was nothing short of magical.

Amanda looked stunning in her white satin mermaid dress, which featured an open back in a V- shape adorned with buttons that cascaded down the length of the gown. She paired it with delicate rose gold kitten heels and a lace veil with a beaded border trim, tucked into her elegant
low ponytail. Her bridesmaids complemented her look with dresses in different shades of pale pink, perfectly matching Amanda’s unique cascading bouquet made up of pale pink roses, white peonies, and orchids. The bridesmaids carried small round bouquets of white roses, adding to the romantic feel of the day.

The wedding décor was elegant and minimalist, with white roses and lilies lining the aisle, creating a timeless and serene atmosphere. But it wasn’t all tradition—Amanda and Matt added plenty of fun, personal touches. Instead of a traditional bouquet toss, Amanda dedicated her bouquet to her mother, a heartwarming moment that touched everyone present.

The couple and their guests enjoyed a quirky and fun photo booth set up by The Little One Aruba, featuring a vintage VW wagon with playful accessories for guests to enjoy. The party hit full swing with flashing lights, fun sunglasses, and an energetic dance floor, giving the day a truly
unforgettable ending. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a visit from some four-legged friends! Sgt. Pepper’s Friends made an appearance with adorable puppies, much to the delight of the couple and guests. (For more on how you can have puppies at your wedding, check out our previous blog post!)

Amanda and Matt’s wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and fun, a reflection of their unique love story, and a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

When Mariana & Mickey set out to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, they envisioned something intimate and heartfelt, surrounded by the people who matter most—their five children.
What started as a vow renewal at the elegant Ritz-Carlton Aruba quickly transformed into a beautiful family celebration, with love, emotion, and laughter filling every moment.

The ceremony was personal, with both husband and wife writing their own vows, reflecting on the journey they’ve shared. It was clear that their love was just as strong, if not stronger, than the day they first met. Their words brought tears not only to their own eyes but also to those of their
children—two daughters and three sons—who stood by their side, witnessing the renewal of their parents’ promises to each other.

What made this vow renewal unique was that, with no guests present, the focus turned to the family itself. In an incredibly touching twist, the couple asked for spontaneous reactions from their children. We captured sweet moments as the kids shared what they love most about their
parents, from the playful memories to the admiration they have for the bond between “Mommy and Daddy.” Their innocent, heartfelt words added an extra layer of emotion to the event, turning it into a celebration of not just a marriage, but of family.

As we continue to tell stories like this, we are reminded that love, in its purest form, is often found in these quiet, personal moments shared with family. What an honor to have captured this moment!

Michelle and Eugene’s wedding was a long time coming. Eugene vividly remembers their first date and the moment he knew she was the one. Five years ago, they were all set to get married in Massachusetts, but life had a wonderful surprise in store—they found out they were pregnant. The wedding was postponed, and as their family grew, they made new plans. Their son is the reason they didn’t get married in Aruba sooner, but now, they chose to honor Michelle’s aunt and
uncle, who frequently visited the island, by hosting a large ceremony for friends and family at the Aruba Hilton.

The wedding colors were a timeless combination of white and pink, creating an air of elegance and romance. The ceremony took place under a gazebo-style archway, draped in delicate organza with florals made up of white and pink roses, white hydrangeas, and accent greenery. White lanterns and additional floral arrangements adorned the arch, making it a breathtaking focal point against the backdrop of the Aruba beach.

Michelle looked stunning in her mermaid-cut dress, which featured thin straps, a low-cut sheer illusion bodice on the chest and sides, embroidered details, and subtle pearl beading. Her veil was long and graceful, cascading onto the pristine white sand. Eugene complemented her beautifully in a perfectly tailored navy blue suit. Their adorable children, serving as the flower girl and ring bearer, matched their parents in outfits that mirrored the elegance of the day.

The wedding was a beautiful mix of emotions—tears of joy, love, and plenty of laughter. It was a day filled with heartwarming moments, as family and friends gathered to witness Michelle and Eugene finally tie the knot after their long journey together. The joy of the day was palpable as they celebrated this long-anticipated moment.

Following the touching ceremony, the reception was all about fun and dancing. Guests danced late into the night, creating memories that will last a lifetime. It was another beautifully captured wedding, highlighting not just the couple’s love, but the deep bonds they share with their family and friends.
