Upstate New York Summer Wedding

A summer garden wedding in upstate New York filled with elegant touches and hints of whimsy.

Having begun dating during the pandemic Gena and Adam only went on a few dates before they knew what they found in each other was something deeper and more meaningful. Their first date at a nearby Mexican restaurant in New York was followed by a second. Eventually, the couple was planning their first trip together. Gena and Adam admitted that one month of dating during the pandemic seemed to accelerate their relationship in the best way possible. And, in time, they were moving in together.

After a year of living with one another, a proposal was looming over the horizon. Adam enlisted the help of their friends to lure Gena to a surprise proposal. One that made her believe she was attending a surprise proposal for the other couple. To her surprise, a rooftop view with 500 roses and a romantic proposal from Adam awaited. Gena was absolutely elated at the extraordinary surprise proposal that Adam had in store for her and enjoyed each second of the whirlwind moment. With a resounding yes from Gena, the couple headed back to their apartment to find their parents awaiting their arrival with a bottle of champagne to celebrate the couple’s love. Once the parents were officially introduced (it was their first time meeting), Gena and Adam were off to the final surprise of the evening. An engagement party with all of their friends in attendance.
