JJ & Alex are probably the most incredible couple we’ve ever met. It’s just unbelievable how talented they are: both work in software by day and are skilled dancers by night (quite the combination!), Alex started a company that was later acquired, and JJ, the gifted artist, beautifully hand-painted a lot of their wedding items which you’ll see in the photos below.

Ten minutes into getting ready and we already knew this was going to be an incredible wedding. You see, most photos we take at weddings don’t need captions, but I think a few of these photos might leave viewers puzzled otherwise… and that’s how you know this day was a great one! [ read more … ]
