The Story

Swipe right, meet the love of your life.

Dara Joy and Tim met on Tinder and quickly discovered a connection that felt effortless. During their first date, Dara was drawn to Tim's humor, kindness and calming presence, qualities that would soon make her realize she had found something special.

One year later, during an anniversary getaway, Tim proposed with their beloved dog, Zipper, by his side. As Dara said yes, a nearby boat sounded its horn, creating a perfectly memorable moment on the water.

With so many meaningful milestones tied to the shoreline, choosing The Pavilions at Penfield Beach for their wedding felt like a natural fit. With coastal views, timeless charm, and a romantic setting along Long Island Sound, Jacky Durrell Pavilion provided the backdrop they had always envisioned.

Their wedding day was everything they hoped it would be: coastal, timeless, and romantic. Surrounded by family and friends, with personal touches like family friends officiating and performing live music, Dara Joy and Tim created a celebration that felt uniquely theirs.

And as the dance floor filled and the sun set over the water, one thing was clear: sometimes the best love stories begin with a simple swipe.

The vision for their wedding?
