Ali & Drew’s day has been one I’ve looked forward to since their engagements earlier this year. After spending time with them I knew this, he makes her laugh and just adores her. All through the planning, Ali would send me updates on decor, her wedding dress, and picture inspiration! I LOVED it! I love being involved with my brides and watching their dreams come to life. Her vision for a classic winter inspired day was everything I imagined. Gorgeous white florals, lots of greenery and gold sequins just spilled over the One Fish Two Fish room for, nestled just on the water at the west neck marina, for their Virginia Beach winter wedding. Ashley for Soirees by Lauren made sure everything went off perfectly. I can say this is my first wedding that started exactly on time and that is because of her! Ali & Drew definitely bring the “find someone who can make you laugh” quote to life. He is the ice breaker, the one who makes each person instantly comfortable around him. He loves her, no wait he ADORES her. He pulls her close for every picture, he sneaks small kisses, he reassures her she is absolutely gorgeous. THAT is the kind of love I want to surround myself by. On the days I am spending 8+ hours with couples, away from my husband and boys, I want to be surrounded by people who just plain and simple just adore each other. They truly made every minute of those hours worth it. Check out that bridesmaid photo, it for sure is one of my favorites ever! Ali & Drew, I am so incredibly thankful for you both. A fun, loving, joyful couple that made me feel so comfortable from the moment I met you both. While I am sad our wedding journey has ended, I am so excited for you both to start as Mr. & Mrs. Cleek! Enjoy Jamaica!
