Natalia & Stephen met in the Summer of 2020. While first introduced as a dating app match (shout out Hinge!), they developed a deeper connection upon realizing they were neighbors in New York City's West Village -- running into one another almost daily during regular walks around the village.

During "Covid Times" both Stephen and Natalia were working remotely, so as they continued to date, they took advantage of the flexibility -- taking many roadtrips in their first Summer of dating along the East Coast, from the Hamptons to Bar Harbor, Maine! This early-found shared love of spontaneous weekend trips would continue to bond them throughout the years to come.

Four years later, Stephen and Natalia continue to live in the West Village neighborhood that brought them closer together. They are excited to share their love story with all of you in October 2025 in another favorite place of theirs -- Arizona.

Arizona is Natalia's home state, and Stephen & Natalia enjoy splitting their time between New York and the desert -- soaking in as much time as they can with friends and family on both coasts. They are excited for everyone they love (both Easterners and Westerners) to experience it together on their special day!
