Admiral on Clear Lake Wedding: Cesilia & Israel

They met at church. Cesilia, 14, and Israel, 20 – both more affectionately referred to as Cesy and Yayo. When one of Cesy’s friends asked “If you could date ANYONE at church, who would it be?” Cesy was NOT feeling any of the guys there. Except for one… Yayo was the youth director, and caught Cesy’s eye very early on. But it wasn’t until eight years later, after their paths had diverged and then crossed once again, that Cesy and Yayo exchanged numbers. As Cesy admits, she was weak. And called him 20 minutes later. :) What started as hours spent on the phone that night, blossomed into a love strong enough to weather any storm.

Last Friday, on 11.11.11, Cesilia and Israel vowed to keep each other forever. To love each other forever. And to complete each other. Forever. We were so blessed to document this new beginning for them, and we are of course semi-partial to Cesy, who has been a loyal blog follower for two years now. ;) To C & Y – Thank you for trusting us with your wedding day images!! We so enjoyed taking them. And we hope you love your sneak peek!! XOXO!!

    Lauren Jolly - Alyse, I think my favorite thing about looking at your wedding photography is that you manage to capture the feeling of each wedding. They all look very distinct and I feel like I can imagine what it was like to have attended that wedding. Beautiful photos, as always! And congratulations to Cesilia and Israel!
