Galleria Marchetti wedding: Victoria and John

September 27, 2016

Have you ever looked someone in the eye and felt like you can see his or her soul? Well, that’s the feeling we had and still have when we see Victoria and John’s photos. We fell in love with their genuine spirits and personalities since the moment we met via Skype last year.

When we met them in person last spring in New York for their Engagement, we had the best time talking about EVERYTHING but the wedding. We talked about her passion for running marathons, his enthusiasm about soccer (Juancho was so happy talking to his new soccer buddy) and before we knew it, we were driving together across Hoboken talking about food, wine, Uruguay (his hometown), Colombia, and Chicago (Victoria’s hometown).

We thought we had the best time at their engagement until the day of their wedding, when we really got to see where their personalities come from. Their families, both Victoria and John’s were incredibly warm and fun.

I don’t think I can’t express with words what our hearts felt when we saw these two seeing each other for their first time, walking down the aisle as husband and wife, and enjoying every word, every kiss, and every smile together.

Today, reviewing their gallery over and over again, we know that perfect couples exist and that happiness is given to those sincere and genuine people who love themselves and others freely. Victoria and John, we will always feel blessed to have you and your amazing memories in our hearts.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET
Juancho + Johana

We’re Johana and Juancho — partners in life, creativity, and capturing love stories across the globe. Juancho’s journey began with bold determination: he moved from Colombia to the U.S. with nothing but vision, passion, and a deep love for people’s stories. He bought the best lens on the market before even owning a camera, and after his first engagement session with friends, he came home glowing. That spark turned into a decade-long career rooted in emotion, connection, and purpose. Juancho has a magnetic personality — the kind that makes fast friends with strangers on planes, in grocery aisles, and even with our UPS guy. Weddings, with all their energy, humanity, and beautiful chaos, are his favorite kind of playground.

I bring a different kind of energy to the team. With a background in modeling and a career as a radio and TV host, I’ve always lived in creative spaces — and now I channel that into editorial work and wedding storytelling. Juancho likes to call my eye “the girly point of view,” but really it’s about noticing what often goes unseen: the softness, the glances, the stillness in between the big moments. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, but I’m always drawn to the why behind the image. Together, we balance each other — and we love creating with people who value that harmony of heart and art.
