Some love stories are written in the stars. 💞

Walter and Dana first met as teenagers when she was working at a tanning salon with Walter’s younger sister. He was immediately smitten and gearing up to ask her out when she introduced him to her boyfriend. Fast forward decades later while they continued to remain friends over the years, they eventually found themselves single again and spending lots to time together. Finally, on a fated night back in 2020 at front row seats to see Hamilton, the stars aligned and their lifelong friendship took the long awaited turn to romance.

Their September Wedding and Reception at The Barn at Bradstreet Farm was a dream. From hanging in each of the bridal and groom suites capturing celebratory toasts and their first look by the pond to the magical ceremony under a leaf covered pergola and the reception that followed, it was perfection from beginning to end.

Congratulations Walter + Dana! Glad you stalked and bribed me with bubbles to come out of shooting big weddings retirement (#iykyk 😉.) It was an honor to be the one to capture and tell the story of your love and day. I’m now officially re-retired from big weddings and delighted to go out on such a high note. (Seriously. No amount of Veuve Cliquot can sway me …) x
