Their Wedding Day: Florentine Gardens Fall Wedding
Jess & Paul’s Florentine Gardens Fall Wedding was a blast! When Jess first reached out to me about her wedding, she described her vision for the day. She said, “We definitely want our wedding to be classic, regal, elegant, but also FUN! Our main priority is for our guests to have a blast, so making sure all feel included and having an awesome time means a lot to us.” I love this sentiment, and I think they executed the vision perfectly! All their guests had so much fun celebrating their love! I can’t wait to share all my favorite photos…but first, a bit of their love story!
Their Love Story
I asked Jess and Paul to share with me one thing they love about each other. Jess said, “I love how Paul can walk into any room and can literally start a conversation and can become friendly with everyone he meets – it’s something I really admire about him.” Paul said, “I love Jess’s consideration and care that she has for me and others. I always appreciate the team effort in the relationship and she certainly is all about the team!”
Jess & Paul have such a sweet love story. They first connected on a dating app during the pandemic. Jess told me, “Paul and I first matched in the first few days of the pandemic, so it would certainly be a while until we could meet in person. We Facetimed for about two months before we ever met in person for our first date!”
Two and a half years later Paul popped the question! It was the day after Christmas and Jess thought they were going on a double date at a restaurant in Tarrytown. Instead, Paul proposed! Jess told me, “It was everything I could have ever dreamed of.”
To the Newlyweds
Jess & Paul, thank you so much for having us as a part of this incredibly special day! We adore you guys and are so honored to have photographed the start to your forever! We’re so excited for you and all that lies ahead in this next chapter! xoxo
