Alison and Raphael’s wedding at Azaleana Manor was the picture of timeless elegance. Nestled along the water in Orange Park, Florida, this stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. Alison looked radiant in her classic gown, while Raphael brought the sophistication in a black tuxedo. Their wedding party was dressed in soft sage green—a color that paired beautifully with the graceful charm of the Manor and its grounds. The two exchanged vows overlooking the peaceful waterfront, then celebrated beneath the open sky on the manor’s elegant patio surrounded by their closest friends and family. It was a day full of love, beauty, and unforgettable moments.
The Proposal
We were engaged on October 29, 2023 at Hyperion Brewing on their beautiful outside patio. My fiancé and I love Sunday football (his team is the Steelers and mine is the Jets) and that Sunday they both were finally playing at the same time – 1:00pm. So I thought it was going to be a typical sunday out watching football and when we got there, the entire patio was decorated. A “Will you marry me?” sign over the archway with my fiance standing underneath. All of our closest friends and family were there waiting for the proposal. It’s incredibly difficult to surprise me and when I say I was shocked, it was the most surreal surprise of my life!
