From their beautiful sunset Engagement Session to their big wedding day, I’ve loved every moment I’ve spent with Alexa and Dino. Their charm, sweetness, and genuine love for each other makes them so wonderful to be around. This wedding was seriously one of my favorites I have ever had the pleasure of photographing.

On a lovely spring day in May at Green Bay Botanical Garden, Alexa and Dino promised to spend the rest of their lives together in front of their closest family and friends. Guests traveled from all over the country and the world to see these two say, “I do.” Alexa and Dino are currently living in Boston while Dino attends Harvard Business School so even they flew back to Green Bay for their big day! Everything about their wedding was pure perfection. From the first moments of the day, I was already swooning over their details. The dusty mauve colored bridesmaids dresses, Alexa’s lovely hair piece, the beautiful bouquets – all absolutely gorgeous. But my favorite detail of the day just had to be Alexa’s wedding dress. I mean, wow!! She looked stunning in it!

As beautiful as the details were, what I loved most about this wedding was that it was full of love. Not only between the bride and the groom but between all their friends and family members as well. So many of the important people in Alexa and Dino’s life played a special role in the wedding. Alexa’s godmother officiated the ceremony, Alexa’s mom created a lot of the paper goods and art for the reception, Dino’s friend played guitar during the ceremony, Dino’s sister sang a song for Alexa and Dino’s first dance, and so many more loved ones played their own special parts throughout the big day. This goes to show just how sweet and amazing Alexa and Dino are to be surrounded by so much love.

Congratulations Alexa & Dino!! I wish that throughout the years, your love will deepen and grow with each passing day!

I loved Alexa’s jewelry and rings!

This bracelet was Alexa’s “something borrowed.” It belongs to her grandmother.

The Green Bay Country Club looked incredible!!

They just had to have gummy bears because they are Dino’s favorite!

Alexa’s bridesmaids sang their speech to a couple different songs, including Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back.)” They did a fabulous job and had the entire room laughing so hard!

Not to be outdone, the best man shared a very heart-felt and sweet speech!

Dino’s sister, Tina, sang Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love” as Dino’s friend played guitar for Alexa and Dino’s first dance! I still get goosebumps thinking about this performance. It was so beautifully done and it made everyone tear up.

Dino’s grandparents couldn’t make it to the wedding but they sent a surprise video message all the way from Croatia, congratulating the newlywed couple!! Dino was so surprised and I just love his reaction to seeing the video!

Dino surprised his beautiful bride by playing guitar and singing her a song!!
