Under Canvas Lake Powell Wedding

It’s always a dream to be in NYC and live a true NYC rom-com. Cass and Ben did just that! Cass and Ben met on the streets of NYC, and it was a love connection from the start. From the moment they met, they knew that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together—and that’s exactly what they did.

They eloped at Lake Powell in Utah surrounded by their family and friends. It was truly an epic day at this under canvas Lake Powell Wedding for this couple who loves to travel and explore new places together. They said “I do” while overlooking the gorgeous slot canyons and rock formations.

HOW THEY MET

“We met each other in New York at the James A. Farley Post Office between 33rd street and 8th avenue. Cass was reading a book on the stairs outside and I approached her and started a conversation about the book she was reading (Honestly I do not remember the book she was reading. I was more interested in her.). You are not going to believe it but the first day we met turned into our first date! However, that is exactly what happened lol. We decided to go to the MOMA museum a couple of blocks down to further our conversation after realizing we were both into art. After that decided to grab dinner because why not and of course, Ben asked me to take a walk in central park after dinner because for some reason we didn’t want the day to end. It was the most amazing thing that two strangers that met a couple of hours earlier did not feel like strangers anymore.”

WHY ELOPE?

“We never saw ourselves getting married in a church or doing the big ballroom reception. We always picture having an intimate event with close friends and family.”

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF YOUR ELOPEMENT DAY?

“The first look was our favorite part of our elopement day. Seeing each other before the ceremony brought many good emotions. I’m glad we were able to say our vows privately to each other and be our silly selves.”
