Natalie and Yuji’s wedding at Tanglewood in Lenox, MA, was a beautiful fusion of love, tradition, and personal touches. Delicate details were woven throughout their day to honor their Japanese heritage, most notably with paper cranes gracefully adorning the ceremony and reception spaces. These symbolic birds, representing longevity and happiness, brought the Linde Center to life. Deep hues of navy and blue popped on this perfect September day in the Berkshires.

The love between Natalie and Yuji was undeniable from the moment they connected during their sophomore year at Holy Cross. Same major. Same class. Surrounded by many of their college friends, who had witnessed their love grow over the years, the celebration was a true reflection of the strong bonds they’ve built along the way. 

With pride in his voice, Natalie’s dad shared a heartfelt memory of a picture Natalie had drawn for him years ago, a piece of art so special he still carries it in his wallet to this day. The moment reached new heights when he played an audio recording of Natalie’s younger self saying, “I love you, Dad.”Yuji’s dance with his mom was equally memorable, filled with joy. His mom’s radiant smile and the way she sang along to every word during their first dance created a truly unforgettable moment. You could feel the joy and pride she held for her son. 

We were beyond honored to be a part of this celebration.
