Shemer Art Center and Museum Wedding: Justin + Allison

When Allison and Justin first met they were both attending Arizona State University. They spent part of their time being active in the CRU program. As their network circles started getting smaller and smaller, it was only a matter of time until they started to see more of each other. Especially since Justin’s best friend and roommate shared the same classes as Allison did.

While they were dating, she took a flight over to Brooklyn, New York to visit her dear college friends. As her and her friends were creating new memories together, Justin was on his own flight to New York ready to create a new memory as well. Not just with the purpose of a visit, but with the purpose of flying back engaged with his beloved Allison. He landed and started to plan this surprise proposal to be one that they would never forget. When the day came, Justin got down on one knee in the beautiful gardens of Prospect Park and asked her to be his wife for the rest of her life. Allison said yes, and they now have started their own journey of love together that is infectious and contagious.

Their commitment and union of becoming one took place on April 2, 2016 at the gorgeous Shemer Art Center & Museum.

It was such a privilege to be around you Justin and Allison during your special day. You have something special in your relationship and it’s apparent to everyone. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day and for being deeply encouraged by your love for one another. May God bless you both and your forever marriage!
