Our Story...

Daniel and I met on a dating app in early 2019 when we were both living in Stamford, Connecticut. We quickly figured out that we wanted to spend nearly all our free time together. A little over a year later, the pandemic hit, and it was an easy decision that we'd be in each other's bubble.

We often worked remotely together -out of a tiny studio apartment- but after making it work for the first six months of the pandemic; we were ready to sign a lease …together!

In October 2022, Daniel and I were up in the Saratoga Area visiting my family, when we decided to head up to Bolton Landing and do a short hike called "The Pinnacle,” (near Cat Mountain). There was barely anybody on the trail, we even saw a deer! When we got to the top, there was a bench. We sat down and Daniel started talking about our relationship and the time he knew that we were going to last… and then he proposed!

It was such a beautiful moment, and since the Adirondacks mean so much to us, it was just perfect.

Because it's where my family is from, and accessible to Daniel's family in New Jersey, we decided we wanted to get married in the Capital Region. We looked at venues in Lake George, Saratoga, and Glens Falls, but ended up choosing the Saratoga Winery because of the beautiful outdoor surroundings as well as the lovely event space of the Wine Barn!

We loved that Saratoga Winery was our ceremony space, reception venue, and caterer! We had the most perfect weather for our wedding, and the vendors, (as well as the fabulous wedding party!) came together seamlessly to make it a day that was so much fun …and truly felt like us!

Advice to pass along... 

Don't forget to try your cake! And be sure to take many moments with your new spouse to really savor the day you worked so hard to plan. And if your dress has a bustle, have a bridesmaid bring a crochet hook to help button it up. (Rob Spring saved the day by having one in his bag!).

Send-off Brunch
Catered by Sweet Mimi's

My dad hosted a "welcome dessert" after the rehearsal dinner at his home in Saratoga, and my mom hosted a "send-off brunch" at her and my stepdad's house in Mechanicville!

I chose favors from Saratoga Tea and Honey because I used to work there and it was one of the first places I showed Daniel in Saratoga!
