Amanda and Ariel came all the way from New Jersey for their Har Sinai Synagogue wedding in Maryland. Amanda and Ariel met in 2013 on JDate. Which I absolutely love, online love still makes me so amazed at how the universe works. So many of my couples are finding their true love and life partners online! As fate would have it – despite living over an hour away, Ariel was beginning a new job a mile from where she lived just days after their first date! Fast forward, change of jobs, her dog falling in love with Ariel, and so many travels… September 2015, the couple went to dinner at their favorite restaurant along Asbury Park beach. There was something in the stars that night. The restaurant happened to be playing the album of the artist whose concert they’d just been to for Ariel’s birthday. It’d been raining all day in northern New Jersey, but somehow held out by the shore. After dinner, Ariel took Amanda to the beach to ‘look at the stars.’ Ariel surprised Amanda by proposing on the beach, and it started to mist just after she said ‘yes!’ It was such a pleasure to be apart of their wedding and capture their playful love. They truly lite up when they saw each other and didn’t stop laughing with one another. It was also an amazing honor to be at a wedding with Ariel’s grandmother Ann and her brother and cousin, who were all Holocaust survivors. The amount of love and joy that was in the Synagogue this weekend resonated within each person hearing her story. I will truly never forget their day, it is sincerely one for the history books. So happy they will have all these images for future generations to see.
