NY Botanical Gardens Wedding

Updated January, 29 2022
I met Zach in third grade at Lakeshore Elementary school in Fond du Lac Wisconsin. I asked him to be my boyfriend and we went on dates to the hockey rink and spectrum.
By fourth grade Zach and I had called it quits, and it’s a good thing because otherwise this wedding might not have happened! (okay, maybe there are a few other factors involved that made the wedding possible!).
Zach and Alana met 8 years ago at a bar near UW Madison through mutual friends. After a few years by each others’ sides in Wisconsin, they decided to move their careers and start a life together in to New York. Zach proposed on Alana’s 27th birthday, while they were walking along the Highline, and he followed it up with a surprise birthday party at their apartment with champagne, cupcakes, and a keg!
It was a coincidence that Zach’s 4th grade (gay) girlfriend (me!) also happened to live in New York City, and was conveniently worked a full time wedding photographer! I was so happy to capture this day for Zach and Alana and to continue to be a part of their lives all these years later.
