Leah and Jimmie met at Bard College as lab partners in Biology Class. While they currently live in southern California, they fell in love with not only each other but also the Hudson Valley. They knew that when it was time to make things official, they wanted to have all their closest friends and family to gather together for a whimsical celebration in upstate NY.

Their day was one for the books as they were brought together under a Chuppah and began the ceremony with a breathing meditation among their guests to unite the group. Their day was filled with reflections of Leah and Jimmie in every corner from the custom made bridal jacket by Leah herself, to Jiimmie’s boutenniere and Leah’s bouquet, The Lawn Boys performed during the reception and covered songs by Phish, and closed out the evening with a cathartic bonfire to release all the bad juju from 2020. Needless to say, it was a memorable day and one that was full of color and whimsy.

Congrats Leah & Jimmie! We are so grateful to have been there to capture your day together… FINALLY! We’re looking forward to working on the rest of the photos but for now, here are a few sneak peeks.

xo.
