Stephanie & Connor are married—and I could not be happier for them! After seven years of love, laughter, and life together, their wedding weekend was filled with the kind of joy and depth that only comes with time. It was truly an honor to be a part of their celebration.

Connor is one of those rare guys who plans big, meaningful gestures—and the way he proposed to Stephanie is still one of my favorite stories to hear (and retell!). In her words:

“For our 6-year anniversary, Connor planned a surprise trip to California. He took me to Pelican Hill, his favorite place in the world, and said we had a tee time booked. But then he got a ‘call’ saying the reservation was messed up—and they offered us complimentary drinks at the beach instead. A Bentley picked us up, and as we walked down the beach, we came upon a picnic setup, roses, and a violinist. It all clicked—he was proposing! My sister came out of hiding and celebrated with us the whole weekend.”

Cue the happy tears. 🥹

That same thoughtfulness showed up on their wedding day. Every time Connor looked at Stephanie, his face lit up. Stephanie was absolutely glowing in her gown from RK Bridal NYC, and the entire day was filled with emotional, beautiful moments—especially during their ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and their reception at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel.

With floral design and rentals by Bella Flora, expert planning from Sarabeth Events, and an electric dance floor thanks to Emerald City Band, their wedding was the perfect mix of classic elegance and joyful celebration.
