A Love Story Like No Other
Kristin's story began on the ice skating rink, where she used to watch her older brother and his friends play hockey. Among them was Jason Mastrangelo, who would later become the love of her life. From the sidelines, Kristin admired Jason's handsome looks and quiet confidence that made her weak in the knees. Little did she know that fate would bring them together and their love story would unfold.

A Journey to Forever
Their love story didn't follow the conventional path. After years of being inseparable, they took the leap and embarked on a lifelong journey together. A quick proposal led to a long engagement, during which they decided to forgo the traditional engagement shoot. Instead, they opted for a small, intimate wedding with only their closest family and friends.
