When Tim and I first got engaged in December 2019, we envisioned our wedding to be a large gathering of 140 of our closest friends and family. Little did we know that, just three days after I said yes to the dress, COVID-19 would shut the whole world down. This made it incredibly difficult to pin down the details of the day, but we had the basics down pat: Quinn's childhood church and priest for the ceremony (Father Condon at Holy Cross, Salem, NY); a beautiful Dutch post and beam reception barn in the country (Beloved Farm, Cambridge NY); a wonderful photographer who made us laugh throughout our whole engagement shoot (Aldridge Photography, Saratoga Springs, NY); a caterer with a track record of making wedding celebrations memorable (Nicole's Special Events & Catering); and a highly organized, helpful, and fun wedding planner to bring the whole vision to life (A Lively Event).

Love was going to win no matter what and Tim and I were lucky enough to have vendors who were on board with our crazy plans! One seriously limited ceremony (only 37 people were allowed in the church) and three receptions (with the 50 person limit) later, we were hitched. It was tough not being able to dance, but we ate, drank, and were merry nonetheless. The love shared between Tim and I, and the love we felt from our families, can be seen in all of the rich, vibrant photographs that Aldridge Photography took of the day. It's almost like she captured the feelings and sealed them right into the images; we get to feel all the positivity of that day all over again when we flip through our wedding album!
