Some couples just have a way of making everyone around them feel lighter, happier, and a little more themselves — and Stephanie and Dan are exactly those people. Their Armature Works wedding wasn’t just beautiful (though it absolutely was), it was the kind of day that left everyone smiling long after it ended.
The day began at Le Méridien, where Stephanie and Dan got ready with their closest people. Stephanie stepped into a gown that can only be described as full-on princess energy — soft, elegant, and giving just the right amount of Cinderella magic. And honestly? She wore it like it was made just for her. Dan looked every bit as perfect in a fitted tux, leaving us so excited for these two to see each other for the first time that day!
The two of them shared a first look on the front steps of Le Méridien, and it was easily one of the most joyful we’ve ever photographed. The second they saw each other, it was all smiles, laughter, and that unmistakable “we get to do this” kind of excitement. Being around these two feels like a gift — they’re so clearly best friends, and their light-hearted energy is completely contagious.
Before heading to the ceremony, they shared private vows — in a quiet, meaningful moment just for the two of them. It was the perfect pause in the middle of such a lively day and a reminder of what everything was really about.
Soon after, everyone made their way to Armature Works for their ceremony under the huppah. Surrounded by an incredible group of family and friends (who, not surprisingly, were just as kind, fun, and full of life as they are), Stephanie and Dan said “I do” in a traditional ceremony beneath an assortment of flowers we’re still dreaming out.
And speaking of the details — this wedding truly delivered. Taylor Falcon kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish, allowing the whole day to feel effortless. Petals Presents and Parties created floral designs that were nothing short of jaw-dropping, with mixed pots throughout the ceremony that added so much texture and personality. Denise Burkle had Stephanie looking absolutely stunning, and Cory Barron brought the kind of energy that turns a reception into a full-on party.
From start to finish, the entire day felt like a celebration of love, connection, and genuinely good people coming together. Stephanie and Dan have this way of making you feel lucky just to be in the room with them — and capturing their Armature Works wedding felt exactly the same.
Stephanie and Dan, your day was heart-filling in the best, most genuine way, and we’re still smiling just thinking about it.
Love + Laughs,
Sarah & Ben
