“You know, I met Becki’s parents’ and slept overnight at their house before I even knew Becki” Dan tells me as I am photographing their engagement pictures. This love story is clearly based on fate.
Becki and Dan met each other in college through their Adventure Club. Prior to meeting, Dan was leading a hike with the Club, and needed a place to stay overnight prior to the hike. Becki’s parents lived close to the trail head, and Becki offered up her parents’ house as a place for Dan and the Club to stay the night before the hike. All of this communication was done electronically and not in person, so Becki and Dan never met during this correspondence.
Fast forward to after the hike; Dan and Becki met at an Adventure Club event, and the rest is history.
Becki and Dan had to change their ceremony and reception venue due to 2020’s pandemic challenges, and landed on Gardens of Stonebridge during their new venue search. The Gardens of Stonebridge is actually the perfect backdrop for Becki and Dan because they love being outdoors, and they wanted the colorful fall leaves in as many of their pictures as possible.
Becki and Dan’s wedding day was intimate, and incredibly emotional. Whether it was the father/daughter reveal, the first dance, or the parent dances, smiles and happy tears were part of every phase of their day.
