Real Wedding: Cheryl and CJ in Tropical Florida

I can't even express in words how in love with the work of Alexi Shields Photography I am! Not only does her work capture the love and moments of a wedding but the photography is truly art. I love, love love it.

I was so excited to recieve this submission of Cheryl and CJ's wedding. This couple looks straight out of a magazine!

I got in touch with the bride and everything she has to share paired with all the beautiful photos, well let's just say one post is not enough! Enjoy and stay tuned for Part Two.

You can find Cheryl and CJ's engagement story here, but I will be sharing some snippets from the story.

 

"The two met through mutual friends while out one night in Abacoa Town Center. They began dating shortly after and have been inseparable ever since! Some would even say it was love at first sight ;-)"

 

 

"It was the summer night before C.J. was to leave South Florida and head back up to Gainesville for the beginning of his last year at The University of Florida. After a day of boating and relaxing at the Jupiter sandbar with friends, he and Cheryl went to Jetty's (her favorite restaurant) for a steak and lobster dinner (her favorite meal)" 

 

"Once they got to Juno Beach they took a moment to "inspect" the waves. And then, **SURPRISE, SURPRISE**, C.J. bent down on one knee and proposed, making Cheryl the happiest girl ever, C.J. the luckiest boy in the world and this the happiest moment in their life together thus far!"

 

"After Cheryl had a moment to catch her breath (and for C.J. to pick her up off the beach), they returned home to find C.J.'s mom with a bottle of champagne ready to toast the newly engaged couple (she was in on the secret). They quickly began spreading the good news with all of their family & friends! Cheers!"

Don't forget to tune in for Part Two with more gorgeous photos and some quotes from Cheryl about her wedding day!
