Last month we had great pleasure of photographing a wedding at Port Royal Club in Naples.
Adam and Ellen first crossed paths in 2009 while Ellen’s was celebrating her 30th birthday at a Chicago bar where locals gravitate for good drinks, great times and Sinatra on the jukebox. After getting to know each other over mini-cheeseburgers at another local haunt later that night, the two learned that they worked only one block from one another which was the perfect excuse for them to make a lunch date. Ellen and Adam spent the next two years cooking, traveling, concert-going, and most importantly, becoming a part of one another’s families. On March 17th, 2011, Adam put on his best suit, picked up a bouquet of Ellen’s favorite flowers and returned to the bar where they met. Standing out quite a bit from the rest of the St. Patrick’s Day crowd celebrating, Adam got down on one knee and asked Ellen to marry him in. She promptly said yes and the two danced to Sinatra on the jukebox while bunch of strangers circled around and congratulated them. After many trips to visit Ellen’s parents in Naples, Adam and Ellen decided it was the perfect place to celebrate their marriage with family and friends. They were married at St. Ann church with a reception following at The Port Royal Club.
