On a gorgeous sunny day in Rye, New Hampshire, Dan and Alana married at St. Teresa’s Church. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Dan and Alana promised eternity to each other. Their dedication to each other was beautiful… And so was the group of people who surrounded them as they said “I Do”. After the ceremony, the guests were invited to their Abenaqui Country Club wedding reception. The night was spent celebrating two amazing people officially becoming one… Even though everyone realized their oneness happened a long time ago.

They met in college. While attending Drexel University, Alana saw Dan the minute she walked into a campus party, and Dan couldn’t help but notice beautiful Alana. Dan’s attempts at flirting with her (according to Alana) were terrible… However Alana thought he was really cute. After a game of darts, Alana left with her friends for the next party and the next day Alana reached out to Dan on Facebook. Dan quickly became smitten and would text her asking what parties were going on so he could see her. Alana unintentionally played the game of hard-to-get, texting parties but never showing up. Because Dan wasn’t direct enough in telling her how he felt, Alana never realized Dan was trying to be at the same party. Finally after another month of texting Dan decided to find Alana after she posted an AIM status that she’d be at the gym. Dan showed up and asked her to promise to be at a party that night. Alana kept her promise. After sharing Cali Pizza’s mozzarella cheese fries, they shared their first kiss, that turned into their first date, which turned into years of growing together. They’ve become best friends and solid counterparts. Together they promised to weather anything life thrusted their way and asked their closest family and friends to witness their ceremony and vow to support their promises to each other.

Alana and Dan, our hearts overflow with love for you both. You are the type of people who make the world better and inspire others. Your love makes others want to support you in deep and profound ways, and we’re honored to have documented your first day as husband and wife. We are thankful to have been invited into your lives and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both!

Much Love and Appreciation… Deb + Rick

The wedding day started in a perfect way: amazing light, a gorgeous dress, and a pair of great shoes. Just WOW! Alana was gorgeous!
It was a gorgeous summer day in Rye, so the girls decided to enjoy the view from the back yard… Alana’s mom was so kind and gracious… And enjoyed every minute of buttoning her daughter into her wedding dress… And Alana just glowed… Nothing better than a wedding day portrait… Dan prepared not too far from Alana… And had plenty of help from the guys… And he made a dapper groom… There are few things more beautiful than a dad happy and proud to give his daughter away… Sheer happiness… Mr. and Mrs… They did it… Woo Hoo! A family friend surprised the couple with a Mustang exit… It was so nice to see bright colors used as part of the wedding… We mean pinks, teals and touches of gold can brighten any day! Alana’s bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids were truly amazing… Talk about an amazing group of girls dedicated to ensuring the bride was well taken care of! Dan surrounded himself with a group of guys who are a walking party… They are funny and kind. The bride and groom loved each other in such an amazing way… It was a beautiful thing to see… Alana made a gorgeous bride… Seriously… Dan and Alana… Lost in each other’s arms… Alana created every beautiful detail… The Abenaqui Country Club was a stunning setting for Dan and Alana’s wedding.
The First Dance… Heartfelt toasts were given… The couple followed the Italian tradition of passing out cookies to their guests… We love this tradition… More toasting… Father and daughter dance… Such a sweet moment… Mother and son dance… Equally as sweet! Sorority sister love! And then the party began…We love working with Mike of Audio Events… He helped to make Alana and Dan’s the wedding of their dreams… Happily ever after…
