Will and Maddie’s love story began during their college years in Boston, where fate (and a little help from the Hinge app) brought them together. Despite growing up on opposite sides of the country—Will from sunny California and Maddie from Rochester, NY—their connection was undeniable. Now building a life together in Arizona, they always knew that when it came time to say "I do," they would return to New York in the fall to celebrate their love surrounded by family, friends, and the beauty of the changing seasons.
Dreaming of an elegant yet cozy wedding, they found the perfect venue in Gilbertsville Farmhouse, a breathtaking location that blends rustic charm with modern romance. The venue itself is an experience—a picturesque barn, charming yurts for guests, and even goat yoga—but the true magic happened deep in the woods, where Will and Maddie exchanged their vows in an intimate, fairy-tale-like ceremony.
Their wedding was filled with warmth, joy, and personal touches that made the day feel uniquely theirs. More than anything, they wanted to create lasting memories, capturing the emotions, laughter, and love that surrounded them. Their wish? To be able to look back on their photos and videos years from now and feel every moment as if they were reliving it all over again. And from the beauty of their day, there's no doubt that they will.
