Sometimes, the best love stories begin when you least expect them.


For Joanly and Josué, it all started at work.


On October 24, 2016, Josué arrived for what seemed like an ordinary day. But on his way to the office, he noticed a beautiful woman beginning her very first day at work.


That woman was Joanly.


What started with a simple conversation soon became something much more.


A Love Story That Began at Work


As they got to know each other, their connection continued to grow.


A few months later, on Christmas Day, Josué decided it was time to ask Joanly an important question.


In a creative and personal way, he wrote his message on a paper airplane.


Would she be his girlfriend?


Her answer was yes.


And from that moment, their story continued to grow—eventually leading them to one of the most important days of their lives.


A Beautiful Wedding Day


The day began at the Ponce Hilton Hotel, where Joanly prepared for the celebration ahead.


She looked beautiful in her wedding gown from D'Royal Bride, while Salliam Makeup & Lash Studio completed her bridal hair and makeup.


The excitement continued to build as Joanly and Josué prepared to celebrate the beginning of their next chapter together.


A Celebration at El Palacio in Juana Díaz


Their wedding celebration continued at El Palacio in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico.


With coordination and décor by Andrés Vélez and the El Palacio team, the reception space was transformed into a beautiful setting for family and friends to celebrate together.


After everything that began with a simple meeting at work, Joanly and Josué were finally surrounded by the people they loved most.


From their first conversation to a paper airplane on Christmas Day, every step of their journey had led them here.


To their wedding day.


A Story Worth Remembering


Every couple has a different story.


Some begin through friends.


Others through family.


And sometimes, a simple day at work can change everything.


For Joanly and Josué, that unexpected meeting became the beginning of a beautiful journey.


It was an honor to capture their wedding day and preserve the memories of a love story that truly went from work to "I do."
