Jessica. She loves the beach. She loves listening to Taylor Swift. She loves her cat Cupcake..... but there's nothing she loves more than her soon-to-be husband Zach! 

Zach. He loves bowling. He loves hanging with his friends. He loves doing a bit of relaxing and some TV watching... but there's nothing he loves as more than his soon-to-be wife Jessica!

Together these two have been on so many adventures together. From skydiving to playing with Cupcake... they have fun spending time together whatever the adventure may be! Concerts. Plays. Taylor Swift shows. Drive-In movies. Dining at quaint little restaurants. Sporting events... these two love to travel all over (Toronto is on their favorite's list)!

Jessica and Zach met through a mutual friend (whose name is also Jessica!) while they were both studying at University of Buffalo. This soon-to-be husband and wife fell for each other through lots of wonderful adventures and laughs together. One memorable day at their apartment in Buffalo, Zach got down on one knee and asked Jessica to marry him... and she said yes (the balloons and roses helped)!! Finally tomorrow they will be able to look into each other's eyes and say the words 'I do'! They can not wait... tomorrow can't come soon enough for Jessica and Zach! 

Wedding planning is certainly a lot of work... Jessica and Zach's advice to couples that are planning their wedding day is simply this... hire a wedding planner!! Wedding planning isn't all meetings and emails though... their favorite part of planning their wedding was having the honor of asking their loved ones to be in their wedding party. They've also loved planning their honeymoon... and of course- trying all of the cupcake samples!

So tomorrow, surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends... Jessica and Zach will tie the knot! Shortly after their big day, they'll make their way to their honeymoon destination- a gorgeous Sandals Resort in St. Lucia! You can only imagine how excited these two are for their big day and amazing honeymoon plans!

I'm thrilled that they chose Silent Moment Photography to photograph their wedding day... it's truly such an honor

Here's to adventures, cupcakes and you, Jessica & Zach!

When Alex isn't playing with her dogs and (window) shopping with her girlfriends... and Ryan isn't knee deep in his love for baseball... these two love birds are simply just falling more and more in love with each other! They met through a mutual friend (Alex's Matron of Honor) and after their first group date, they've never been apart! Alex's favorite memory of Ryan is the first time he kissed her... she was rambling on through a never ending story, and Ryan must have had enough! He shut her up and pulled her in for their first kiss. For Ryan... he loves their memory of driving through loud Pennsylvania construction during their first vacation together and rocking out to music!

These two have been falling in love more and more every since day one. Alex feels all giddy and girly when Ryan grabs her hand... and every time Ryan looks in Alex's eyes, he falls for her all over again. These two are meant for each other. They are each other's binge-watching-TV buddies... they love spending time together with their families and they also LOVE to eat! 

Their wedding planning has been the most wonderful and stressful time of their life... and SO WORTH IT. I have no doubt that tomorrow is going to be filled with laughter and giggles... love, family and tasty food! Wedding planning can certainly take a toll on couples... and here is Alex and Ryan's advice for couple's in the planning process...

"Relax. Things will go wrong- and plans will change. But at the end of the day- you will still marry the person you love and that's all that matters. Also- ORGANIZE and start organizing early. Make spread sheets of your vendors and balances- find a filing system to keep everything together that works for you (I personally have a file box- each category has its own spreadsheets, contracts, and pictures) As things get more stressful you will want everything in place and not searching for it."

Their organizing, planning and preparing has paid off... tomorrow, with the love of their family and friends, Alex and Ryan will say 'I do'. They've waited years to be able to call each other husband and wife... and tomorrow, that's what they will become at last! They can't wait... and I certainly can't wait to photograph their special day! Once the confetti settles and the dancing comes to a stop... the new husband and wife will be off to spend seven wonderful days in sunny Jamaica!

Alex and Ryan... here's to you! Here's to yummy food, loving family and your special wedding day!
