Victoria + Paolo

Victoria and Paolo came up from New Jersey to get married in the gorgeous Catskills at Mystic Lodge in Bovina, NY. It was way up in the mountains down a long red clay dirt road.

Victoria and Paolo’s ceremony took place right next to a pond with the mountains in the background. They created their own handfasting cording for the ritual. Such a beautiful love story.
