On February 8th, Matthew and Emily became Mr. and Mrs. Fedel at Highland Manor in Apopka, Florida. Their love story is so unique and so sweet. Emily was in Nerja, Spain to work at a conference when she just happened to ask the guy next to her with some help with the wifi. Their conversation flourished and led to an invite to a day trip to Seville. The bus ride there was full of wonderful conversation. On the bus ride back, as the sun was setting, Matthew asked Emily on a date. A few days later, they were officially dating. Three years after their first dates in Spain, these two became husband and wife. All of the details of their wedding day were planned thoroughly and with care. Emily thought of everything and it showed. I LOVED her wedding dress. Handmade and custom designed by her friend, Lisa Trotter. Emily and Lisa worked together to build her perfect dress by purchasing fabrics, sewing buttons, and including the wedding date on the inside hem. The dress fit perfectly. I loved how Emily included her mother’s and grandmother’s wedding gowns. We got to take a few photos with both dresses hanging next to her. I also loved that Emily included her best college girlfriends as her “Girls in Blue” – they helped with welcoming guests, playing music during the ceremony, and helping with the details. So sweet. The outside ceremony was perfect, the family and friends were all so loving, and the reception was so fun! Lots of dancing, laughing, and smiles. This wedding was wonderful. Thank you, Matthew and Emily, for allowing us to document your wedding day. Enjoy your photos!
