Everyone deserves a second chance at love. Alison and Chris found theirs in each other. They had met many years ago but were at different places in their lives. Sometimes you meet someone and you just have that feeling, you feel that unexplainable connection but life’s circumstances prevent you from being together. So you tuck thoughts of them away in the back of your mind and you move forward. Then one day he calls you out of the blue, not for an apartment rental, as Alison thought, but because Chris had never stopped thinking of her. Then they fell in love. We were moved by this love story, goosebumps in the studio when we met them. They were both so laid back about their wedding and expressed that the things most important to them about their day were each other, family & friends, and photography to capture it all. We’re pretty sure Alison didn’t even have a dress three weeks prior to the wedding! On the big day Alison and Chris were each so nervous, it really was sweet to see this couple who are so in love feeling these nerves. We did a pretty first look in the Omni Hotel downtown, formals downtown with Alison’s dad as chauffeur and then onto Cafe Nuovo for the ceremony and a reception. The ceremony was officiated by Ryan McGowan who is their trainer at Laid-Back Fitness. They explained to us how instrumental Ryan had been in getting them healthy and fit together. When you’re healthy you’re happy and they expressed their gratitude and love by asking him to marry them. Alison and Chris were intent on mingling and conversing with their guests so they decided to forgo a traditional reception and instead threw an amazing cocktail party. Heavy passed hors d’oeuvres and a raw bar satisfied all of the guests cravings, amazing tunes by Outcry RI added to the ambiance, and a fabulous cake by Sin Desserts was the perfect sweet ending. We are so happy that these two found each other again. Say love.
