A Modern Love Story in Rochester, NY: Amber & Jenna’s Wintergarden Wedding
From a dating app swipe to a stunning celebration at The Wintergarden at Legacy Towers
Amber and Jenna good and truly married
A Love Story That Started With a Swipe
Like so many modern love stories, Amber and Jenna’s began with a swipe—but what followed was anything but ordinary.
From their very first date, there was an undeniable connection. They went to see Carol—a perfect choice for Amber, who loves LGBTQIA films—and followed it with sushi and conversation that flowed effortlessly. That night didn’t just mark a beginning. It marked alignment.
Building a Life Full of Meaningful Moments
From that first date forward, Amber and Jenna built a life rooted in:
Deep understanding
Shared joy
Everyday rituals that matter
They’re the kind of couple who finds magic in both adventure and stillness—whether they’re exploring new restaurants, enjoying wine tastings, or spending quiet nights at home with Willow, their beloved grey tortie (and undisputed queen of the household).
A Proposal That Perfectly Captured Their Love
Their engagement story is the perfect reflection of who they are: adaptable, joyful, and deeply connected.
During a winter trip to Lake George, Jenna planned to propose at the Ice Castle. But nature had other plans—the weather was too warm, and the castle was melting.
So she pivoted.
On a quiet dock overlooking the lake, Jenna asked Amber to marry her.
And later that night—because their love is beautifully reciprocal—Amber proposed back at the melting castle.
Imperfect. Unexpected. Completely them.
A Stunning Wedding at The Wintergarden at Legacy Towers
Amber and Jenna chose The Wintergarden at Legacy Towers for their celebration—and it was the perfect setting for their elevated, modern vision.
Their palette of dusty blue, green, and gold brought a sense of softness and sophistication to the space, blending seamlessly with the venue’s natural light and architectural beauty.
Every detail reflected intention. Every moment felt like them.
