Revisiting The Pierre

Updated: Dec 29, 2023

On the occassion of Valentin’s win on Season 32 of

Dancing With The Stars” we’re going back to our 2019 photo

shoot at the legendary Pierre Hotel with Val and his wife

(and fellow DWTS pro) Jenna.

We've long suggested that one of the many benefits of getting married at a hotel is that you have a place to return to each year when you celebrate your wedding anniversary. With that in mind, we're revisiting our 2019 photo shoot at the famed wedding mecca- The Pierre Hotel- with "Dancing With The Stars" pros Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy. The professional prancing pair were newlyweds at the time. In fact, they came directly from their Caribbean honeymoon to New York to don various designer gowns and custom tuxedos.

The video above is a mix of photos and behind the scenes glimpses of what it took to create the magazine feature: "Head Over Heels".
