For Christmas 2018, Kathryn and Mary flew over to New York City from Ireland, and eloped in secret! Not even their closest family members back home knew what they were up to on the 26th of December.

The team from Once Upon A Vow, officiant sister duo Daniela and Karla, introduced me to the lovely couple. In the months leading up to their elopement, we all worked together to plan a beautifully simple day in Central Park for these two to celebrate the start of their marriage. Central Park was an extra special place for them to be wed, as it’s where they got engaged a few years earlier,

The semi-private ceremony was held at Wagner’s Cove, followed by a stroll/photo session throughout the park. We got lucky with a sunny afternoon, it was almost a little too warm for their fuzzy matching jackets! It was easy, breezy, relaxing, and full of quiet, loving moments.

Congrats to Kathryn and Mary, wishing you a very happy first anniversary!
