Paolo and Dominique initially planned a two-day wedding with 400 attendees. However, as the pandemic progressed, their grand plans had to be simplified. It was difficult to accept these changes, especially since this couple worked for over a year to make their dream wedding a reality. Thankfully, this hurdle turned into a blessing in disguise as the couple realized how meaningful their intimate wedding turned out to be. Family and togetherness became the highlight of their big day, even delegating their sisters to host the reception to make the program more personalized.

Truly, their wedding plans fell into place beautifully despite the alterations they had to make along the way. Paolo and Dominique sum up their wedding with these words, “With thirty guests, we found out that oftentimes numbers don’t speak the truth, rather it is in the intimate that we find love, life, and celebration.” Enjoy scrolling through these photos from Nicolai Melicor Photography!
