Love stories that span almost a decade are rare, and capturing such a heartfelt journey is a privilege. Cara and Franco’s wedding at the breathtaking Tyler Arboretum in Pennsylvania was an event filled with romance, joy, and a touch of magic. Their story is one of long-lasting love and deep connection, making their special day even more remarkable.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Cara and Franco have known each other since middle school. However, they didn’t start dating until their junior year of high school. Franco’s prom proposal was nothing short of spectacular—he asked Cara out with a display of fireworks, starting their love story out with a bang. In the years following they grew closer together while growing up. They entered adulthood together and facing all the highs and lows that come with it. Then, while on vacation in Puerto Rico Franco proposed, adding another unforgettable chapter to their love story.

The Perfect Spring Day

The couple couldn’t have chosen a better day for their wedding. It was a beautiful spring day, with the trees at Tyler Arboretum in full bloom, providing a picturesque backdrop that seemed almost too perfect to be real. The entire venue, known for its rolling meadows, pristine woodlands, and historic charm, was the ideal setting for their garden cocktail party-themed wedding.

Heartfelt Vows and Emotional Moments

Not only was the ceremony beautiful visually but also emotionally. Particularly when Cara and Franco exchanged their vows. After nine years of shared memories and growth, their words to each other were deeply personal and moving. Franco, overwhelmed by the emotion of the day, found himself shedding tears more than once. I love getting to document these moments that reflect the genuine love and connection between them.

Tyler Arboretum: The Perfect Venue

The venue is renowned for its flower-filled gardens, majestic trees, and centuries-old structures, creating a setting of unparalleled romance. The atmosphere of true love and celebration was palpable, enhanced by the historic charm and scenic landscapes that surrounded the couple and their guests.

A Celebration to Remember

The reception was a joyous continuation of the day’s festivities. Friends and family gathered under the tent, toasting to Cara and Franco’s future. My candid and documentary-style photographs captured the essence of the day, from the heartfelt speeches to the laughter shared among loved ones. Every detail, from the blooming flowers to the decor, was a testament to the couple’s unique style and the love they have for each other.

Cara and Franco’s wedding at Tyler Arboretum was not just a celebration of their present love but also a beautiful reflection of their journey together. The natural beauty and historic charm of the venue provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with emotion, joy, and unforgettable memories.
