Some love stories feel cinematic from the very beginning, and Jessica and Grant’s is exactly that.
The two first met at a dance party hosted by a mutual friend in Brooklyn, New York — a fitting beginning for a couple whose relationship is rooted in creativity, connection, and joy. Six years later, after building a life together in Brooklyn alongside their two beloved cats, they returned to the Finger Lakes to celebrate their wedding surrounded by family, friends, and the beauty of Upstate New York.
With Jessica originally from the Finger Lakes and Grant from Westchester, the John Joseph Inn was the perfect setting for their wedding day. Surrounded by gardens, historic charm, and the peaceful countryside, the venue beautifully reflected the organic, enchanted, and vintage-inspired atmosphere they envisioned.
Inspired by editorial and fine-art photography, their wedding featured thoughtful details that felt timeless and artistic — including vintage couches nestled throughout the gardens where guests gathered, laughed, and celebrated together. The entire day felt romantic, intimate, and effortlessly elegant.
More than anything, Jessica and Grant wanted their wedding to feel meaningful and personal — centered around the things they love most: food, music, art, travel, and the people closest to them. From emotional moments beneath the trees to a joyful evening spent celebrating under the summer sky, their wedding was the perfect reflection of who they are together.
