Claire + Jack | Blackstone Classy Wedding

Some of us have had people who have helped us in our romantic journeys; a sibling, a best friend, or even a parent may have served as our “wingman” or “wingwoman” to help us connect with our soulmate. However, I would be willing to bet money that none of you had your Spanish teacher serve as your wingman the way that one of my couples did!

Claire and Jack first met in school when they were assigned to be group partners in Spanish class. Claire actually told their Spanish teacher to put them together because she thought he was super cute, and their teacher obliged. They started spending time together to work on the project and became good friends. It took some time for a relationship to develop since it seemed one of them was always in a relationship when the other was single. Eventually, the stars aligned and they both decided to give a relationship a shot. The rest is history.

Claire and Jack love exploring, eating, and being active with their fur babies. They got engaged at the Sanctuary; Claire was frustrated and couldn’t figure out why Jack was taking the long way to the table when she was super hungry (we’ve all been there, right?). They made one more wrong turn, and Claire found Jack down on one knee! We celebrated with amazing food, dessert, and the sweetest surprise party with friends after.

Claire and Jack had the most romantic and classic wedding that was a beautiful reflection of who they are. Their bridal party was incredible and showered them with support and energy the whole day. They wrote letters to each other that they read before the ceremony and tears were shed all around -- It was super sweet. It was such a fun, sweet celebration that radiated warmth and love the whole time.

Claire and Jack, it was an incredible joy and honor to capture your wedding day. I hope you continue to find joy and celebration in the unexpected twists and turns of life, and that support continues to come from unpredictable places (like a Spanish teacher!). Thank you for trusting me with your big day. Congratulations!
