When I asked Murphy and Alexis to tell me the story of their relationship, they both used the same phrase: “I hit the jackpot!” And they’re both right! These two have won the relationship lottery, and it’s such a blessing to witness the joy it has brought to both them and their families.
Alexis and Murphy were married in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic with the Caribbean palm trees and lapping ocean water as a backdrop. The day was an absolute fairy tale from start to finish. The dreamy setting and soft color palette were seasoned with fun, vibrant touches that perfectly fit the couple – like the custom bobbleheads of the groomsmen, and the energetic Dominican Trio band at the reception. But the thing I will remember most about this perfect wedding is the all-consuming joy that Alexis and Murphy shared throughout the day.
I can’t express how grateful I am to have been part of this amazing wedding, and how blessed I feel to have met this couple! Here are just a few of my favorite photos from this wedding (ok, WAY more than a few -- this was the best I could do to narrow them down!):
