Victoria + Paolo

Victoria and Paolo came up from New Jersey to get married in the gorgeous Catskills at Mystic Lodge in Bovina, NY. It was way up in the mountains down a long red clay dirt road. It was an usually hot day for October and the start of peak leaf changing. There was rain the night before and in the morning, but it cleared up in time for the ceremony.

Mystic Lodge is a magical spot with two tipis to sleep in and an outhouse — a really beautiful nature excursion.

Victoria and Paolo’s ceremony took place right next to a pond with the mountains in the background. They created their own handfasting cording for the ritual. Such a beautiful love story.
