Sneak Peek: Deer Mountain Inn || Wedding

Steph and Billy got engaged a few months before the pandemic hit last year. Deer Mountain Inn has always been their secret getaway for their anniversary. It was the spot where they got engaged and this weekend, where they got married. A spot so meaningful to them that they FINALLY shared it with those they love the most.

The night they got engaged, they knew they wanted to get married there and set the date for June 2021. But all things wedding planning came to a screeching halt, once the pandemic hit. As things started opening up earlier this year, they knew they still wanted to keep their original wedding date no matter what it looked like; masked, dance pods, temperature checks, testing, whatever. And so in March of this year they moved forward with all things wedding planning and whipped this beauty of a day together in THREE MONTHS!

This day was beyond PERFECT and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the photos. But for now, here are a few sneak peeks. One of my favorite parts of the day was their private first dance with just their family on the mountain top where they had their ceremony; Chills through my body, tears hiding behind the camera in my face.

Steph, Billy…CONGRATS! Absolutely honored that I could capture it all and be there alongside of you as you shared this special place with all of us.

Huge Thanks to these vendors for making MAGIC happen yesterday.

Sneak Peek: Basilica Hudson || Wedding

Sarah and Greg. Where do I start. The first couple to come to me in March 2020 to pick my brain on my thoughts on this coronavirus thing. Within days we were back on the phone with a reschedule and mapping out our plans for hoarding toilet paper and an escape route to the Hudson Valley.

They made things official last year on the shores of Williams Lake in an intimate ceremony at their private family home. They were able to celebrate their one year vow renewal the way they envisioned. The day was beyond perfect and perfectly lit both outdoors and indoors in a sea of glowing candles at Basilica Hudson and a checkered dance floor that stayed full all night with the tunes of The Broadway Project of the Band Method.

I walked away from that night knowing we captured magic that day!

Congrats Sarah & Greg! Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the photos! But for now, here are a few sneak peeks!

HUGE thanks to our incredible vendor team for making magic happen!

Sneak Peek: Basilica Hudson || Wedding

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.
