Hannah and Tonni were married this past June before spectacular views of the Hudson River and Catskill mountains, at a sprawling countryside retreat in the Hudson Highlands. Hannah and Tonni spent a romantic getaway at a cabin in the Catskills early on in their courtship, after they met volunteering with Friendship Circle, an organization for kids with special needs in New York City.  It was at the very same cabin two years later, that Toni surprised Hannah by popping the question!

 

 

The ceremony took place beneath a marvelous wisteria archway with pops of peach, white, blush, and cream cascading down the front, adorned with lush woven greenery.  We love how these fresh blooms popped in the day and softened with the beautiful sunset come evening.

The couple met at a mutual friend’s wedding in Tulum, and while they lived on opposite coasts at the time, they enjoyed each other’s company so much they started dating long distance right away. One year later, James proposed on a romantic weekend getaway in Paris.

With their family and friends gathering from California and the UK, James and Adriana chose to tie the knot in NYC because it was right in the middle.  “Since most of our guests would be coming from out of town, we wanted a venue that would truly capture the spirit of the city,” says Adriana, “We also knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony because we both really love New York in the fall.” After hearing about Battery Gardens through a friend, the couple took a peek during one of their frequent quick trips to the city, and fell in love with it instantly.
