Athena & Kevin's Alfond Inn Wedding | KV Photography
How did you both meet?
We met at Ace Café in Orlando while we were out with a group of friends in June of 2017. As the day went on, we knew we wanted to get to know each other better. There was an attraction and genuine feeling of wanting to connect further. There was an instant chemistry and fun factor that drew us together. We could look at each other and smile for hours!
How did your husband propose?
Kevin surprised me by going to Chicago, which was the first place we traveled to together. He proposed at the Signature Room, on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building with breathtaking views, where part of Our Love Story was written on the top of the menu – Love is Friendship on Fire.
What was your wedding inspiration? (think decor, overall theme and feel of the day, etc.)
Elegant, classy, sexy and fun.
What was your favorite design element of your wedding?
It would definitely have to be the overall beauty of the Alfond Inn setting.
Describe some of your favorite wedding details and how you came up with them.
The flowers, the dress & the vail, first & last dance, and of course the photography! You guys are so artistic.
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day?
For Kevin, it was Athena walking down the aisle and seeing each other for the first time. Also, we took a walk around the hotel at the end of the night, just the two of us, and soaked it all in. Along with some great dancing moments. The two of us doing the Jump around song in front of the Schilf monogram shining up on the wall.

Our cake was so delicious and beautiful. The flowers on it were gorgeous, definitely exceeded our expectations.

What one moment will last with you both forever?
