Wedding Date: February 5th 2022

When this New York actress met Brian from San Francisco, they knew their worlds would never be the same again. They spent their dating relationship traveling across the country trying to bring the two coasts together. But now after playing many roles in her professional life, she got to play the one role she had always dreamed of, being a bride.

I met Nicole nearly 17 years ago when she was a bridesmaid in my dear friend's wedding. So when she got engaged, our mutual friends all said we needed to reconnect. It was truly like stepping into a room with a longtime best friend and we picked up right where we left off. They planned an extravagant day filled with lots of surprises for everyone involved. I joined the guys at The Hewing Hotel to pop a little bubbly on the rooftop while the ladies finished getting ready. Then it was time for their first look on the grand staircase of the Cathedral of Saint Paul. It was one of those moments where they were the only people on earth. The large sweeping stairs with only them to fill the space. The wind caught Nicole’s veil as she walked up to her one and only, creating a dramatic scene for all to see. After wiping away a few happy tears, Brian surprised her with a pre-wedding gift and the two got lost in each other's eyes until the ceremony began.

The Cathedral of Saint Paul was filled with love as Nicole walked down the aisle. They laughed and smiled throughout the ceremony and everyone cheered at their first kiss as husband and wife. A short time later, the beautiful ballroom at the Saint Paul Hotel was revealed and filled again with love and laughter. The pair took to the dance floor and twirled and dipped with ease to the excitement of the crowd. Heartfelt toasts were sprinkled throughout and a few more happy tears were shed. During dinner, Nicole made a quick change into a short party dress and was ready for the dance floor once again. As the beautiful music faded into the night, I reflected on how lucky I am to have these amazing people in my life. Thank you both for sharing your love story and letting us capture your day.
