Wedding Party

Dress Code

Julia traveled to Saratoga, NY with her college friend, Ashley Madeiros — who also happens to be Josh’s cousin. Ashley let Julia know there would be a mix of family activities as everyone was gathering to celebrate their grandfather’s birthday and grandparents' wedding anniversary.Julia and Josh first met during a family outing to the Saratoga Race Track. Josh had been designated the unofficial photographer, capturing all the girls in their track-day best. Julia got to know Josh and his family better at the celebration the following day. Later that night, Julia, Josh, and a group of cousins and friends opened a bottle of tequila and danced the night away in downtown Saratoga!The next day, Julia headed home with Ashley — but not before Josh texted Ashley to ask if he could take Julia on a dinner date once he was back in Boston.

Saratoga, NY. Our story begins...

At the time, Josh was living in New York, while Julia was based in Boston. During a trip to NYC for Fashion Week with Ashley, Julia and Josh had another chance to connect and spend more time together.A few weeks later, Josh traveled to Boston for Julia’s birthday weekend. They had their first official date — and made their relationship official! The weekend included bowling, lunch, and dinner at Trattoria Il Panino in the North End. They spent hours talking about their future — and even the possibility of Josh moving back to Boston.

Boston, MA. Our first date...

Over the next two years, Julia and Josh’s relationship centered around travel and shared adventures. Their first international trip together was to Marbella, Spain, with close friends — and they instantly fell in love with the thrill of exploring new places together.From there, they traveled to Jamaica, Atlantis, California, Texas, Florida, Chicago, Wyoming, Arizona, and more!Life on the road brought its challenges, but also strengthened their bond. Eventually, Josh made the move back to Boston — although some might say that Julia and Josh still live on the road!

Marbella, Spain. Our trips began...

Two years after they first met, Julia and Josh returned to Saratoga for a weekend getaway. They stopped for lunch at The Sagamore Resort, where Josh proposed overlooking beautiful Lake George!Still soaking in the moment, they drove to their Airbnb — only to be surprised by a gathering of their closest friends and family.The night ended just like it began: dancing to live music and celebrating love, laughter, and the exciting future ahead.
