Ariela & George- Crowne Plaza at Albany (The Desmond)

Albany- NY- Wedding- Couple.jpg

Ariela and George met at a bar in Nantucket after George’s friend had spilled his drink on Ariela.  They instantly kicked it off and after a few short years, included us in their planning process for their wedding at the Crowne Plaza in Albany, formerly The Desmond Hotel.  They included their adorable puppy in their group shots and he was the best boy! 

Since Ariela was a professional dancer, we couldn’t get to the dancing quick enough for her.  They kicked off dancing with a choreographed first dance (obviously!) and then a group parent dance where they rotated through each parent.  It was a great way to include everyone and have this formality go quickly so the real dancing could begin!  At each guest table there were trinkets and pictures of places all over the world that were important to them. These two were the so sweet together, you couldn’t not be happy while watching them <3

Alex
