Nehme and Johana’s Epic Hotel Wedding

Nehme and Johana’s love story reads like a modern fairy tale: it all started by chance in the elevator of their apartment building. In that brief moment between floors, they caught each other’s eye and instantly felt a magnetic spark—an inexplicable connection that neither of them could ignore. From that day on, their relationship grew stronger, eventually leading to a heartfelt proposal and the decision to spend their lives together. As a photographer and filmmaker, it was a joy to capture every emotional beat of their special day, which showcased the unique chemistry that first ignited in that very elevator.

The celebration unfolded at the Epic Hotel, a venue befitting the grand occasion. Overlooking the vibrant skyline and surrounded by the glimmering waters of Miami, the Epic Hotel set the tone for a stylish and memorable wedding experience. Nehme and Johana began their day in luxurious suites filled with excited chatter, close friends, and supportive family. Johana’s bridal preparations were particularly poignant—her hair and makeup team worked their magic as she laughed and reminisced about their journey together. Meanwhile, Nehme adjusted his tie and exchanged jokes with his groomsmen, visibly eager to see Johana walk down the aisle.

Shortly after, the couple and their guests made their way to the historic Plymouth Congregational Church for the ceremony. The church’s rustic, old-world charm formed a striking contrast to the sleek cityscape, offering an intimate yet grand atmosphere for the vows. With sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows, Nehme and Johana promised to support one another through life’s ups and downs—mirroring that fateful elevator ride that brought them together. Loved ones looked on, tearing up at the emotion in the room. Their heartfelt exchange of rings was a testament to the strong bond they share, and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that this was the start of a new and exciting chapter in their story.

Following the ceremony, everyone returned to the Epic Hotel for an evening of celebration. The reception space was adorned with elegant centerpieces, soft candlelight, and vibrant floral arrangements. The décor radiated sophistication while still maintaining a warm, welcoming feel. Friends and family mingled, sharing stories of the couple’s kindness, sense of humor, and undeniable love for one another. When Nehme and Johana made their grand entrance, the room erupted with cheers and applause that seemed to carry the same electricity they felt in that elevator years ago.

Their first dance was an especially touching moment, reflecting not only their deep bond but also the serendipitous way they first met. From there, the festivities continued with lively music, heartfelt speeches, and laughter echoing off the hotel’s modern architecture. Throughout the night, the couple stole sweet glances and shared quick embraces, never straying far from each other’s side. It was clear to everyone present that their connection is as genuine and powerful now as it was on day one.

Capturing Nehme and Johana’s wedding in both photographs and film felt like documenting a real-life love story that was always meant to be. From the elevator encounter that sparked it all to the vows at Plymouth Congregational Church and the stylish reception at the Epic Hotel, each moment was a chapter in a narrative defined by warmth, passion, and destiny. Their wedding was a celebration of not just where they have been, but also where they have yet to go—together.
