the story:

Ana and Joseph first met three years ago at a happy hour with their church group, joining the same circle of friends before eventually realizing there was something deeper between them. What began as easy friendship became something steady, intentional, and a found trust. Ana describes Joseph as her best friend and closest confidant—the person who grounds her, supports her, and walks with her through every season. He brings a quiet steadiness to their relationship, and she brings warmth and sincerity, creating a balance that feels both comforting and unshakeable. Their love is gentle, thoughtful, founded in faith, and built through deep connection.

Their wedding day reflected exactly who they are—simple, timeless, and overflowing with love. The mass was reverent and heartfelt, filled with family, tradition, and intentional pauses that honored the meaning of the moment. And at Hotel Ella, the atmosphere shifted seamlessly into celebration with soft summer air and glowing light, creating the perfect relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Every detail carried that same sense of ease they envisioned, and watching them soak it all in—with their families, with their friends, and with each other—made the evening feel especially meaningful. It was an honor to document the beginning of their marriage and the quiet, beautiful way they love one another.
