Our Story...

Shawn and I met through a mutual friend back while we were all working in Lake George. I had just graduated college earlier that year and was still trying to find my footing, a serious relationship was not on my radar. So, when my friend told me she wanted to introduce me to someone, I was only humoring her when I agreed. However…

As soon as I met Shawn, I knew he was unlike anyone I'd met before. Before long, my dog and I moved into Shawn's apartment, and we adopted another puppy from the SPCA. Yes… tight quarters!

In 2020 after being in quarantine for months, we decided we wanted to buy a house. We only looked at four choices, before finding "the one." We spent all our weekends over the next couple of years making the place our own.

This is why when it came to planning our engagement, Shawn couldn't imagine proposing anywhere else. We took our time planning our wedding which allowed us to be very intentional in every decision we made. We chose The Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls as our venue as Glens Falls is where our story began. The Q is absolutely gorgeous and when we saw the huge stone fireplace, we knew we had our venue!

Once we had secured that, everything else fell into place. Our wedding day was the perfect representation of us as a couple and I truly wish I could relive the day once more. Not a single detail was missing and I'm so grateful to all who made it possible!
