What was the most memorable moment of your day?

Bride: The most memorable moment for me was our first look. Words can’t even describe how Justin made me feel just by the way he was looking at me. He was so handsome, especially seeing him so dressed up outside of his USN dress whites and blues.

Groom: Turning around and seeing Jen for the first time.

What was your favorite detail?

Bride: All of the gorgeous lights in the venue. There were string lights everywhere that were just stunning, and there were string lights as a backdrop behind our seats for the reception that many guests were able to use for their own beautiful photos.

Groom: My favorite detail was the lighting of the venue.

Any advice for future bride/grooms?

Bride: Just have fun with all the planning and try not to let small issues become bigger than necessary. Remember that the reason for all the planning is to celebrate the love and happiness between you and your future husband, so that is what is important.

Groom: Get a timeline from all your vendors and go over it with them to make hard times. Also try to get a sound check with the DJ.

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?

Bride: Nope 🙂 Although not every single detail was perfect, it was the BEST DAY EVER and we were so lucky to spend it with so many loved ones. I married the man of my dreams, so what more could I ask for?!

Groom: Nope.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We haven’t honeymooned yet, but we are going to Honolulu, Hawaii in April!

How was your experience with Crystal Jo Foto? If you have a favorite memory with her, please share it.

Crystal Jo is AMAZING!! She makes you feel so comfortable and like part of the wedding party 🙂 My favorite memories with her (besides my awesome wedding day) would include growing up around her at gymnastics and continuing to cross paths with our careers coaching and judging high school gymnastics! She’s always helpful and genuine in any aspect. Plus she looks so good in our furs ha!
