Sneak Peek: Hall of Springs || Wedding

I often get asked if I can tell whether a couple is going to make it or not just by their wedding day. And while I can’t see into the future, I will say that I can tell from the wedding day how high their chances are.

Katie and Conor are one of those couples that will make it. As a witness to their day on Saturday, their love is the kind of love that you can feel, deep in your soul. The kind of love that gives you goosebumps when you see a representation of what true love is. It’s in the way Katie and Conor look at each other, the way they speak to and about each other, the way they care for each other. It’s the way Conor will go out on the hottest day of the year with the Backstreet Boys sound check in the background to take photos in a suit with Katie. It’s the way he carefully makes sure that her dress is JUST right before we take photos. Saturday was full of emotion in the best way possible…and while many of us cried tears of joy, Katie’s mom put it best as she grinned from ear to ear watching her daughter get ready, “There’s no reason to cry. Katie is getting married to the best guy with the best family .”

Congrats Katie and Conor! I would go out in 100 degrees with you any day…but not everyday!

Grateful to this incredible DREAM TEAM that Kelly Strong Events pulled together. To say we worked seamlessly together is an understatement!

Sneak Peek: The Otesaga Resort || Wedding

This past weekend was 17 years in the making for Keely and Matt. After beginning their dating journey after Keely graduated high school, they finally started a new chapter together this weekend in front of their friends and family. I don’t think they could have asked for a better day!

After their wedding ceremony at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Oneonta, they headed back to The Otesaga Resort for the reception. For anyone who knows them, music is at the CORE of their being and their day showcased that. Keely’s uncle sang probably the most moving Ave Maria I’ve ever heard in my life, they had their friend Hughie Stone Fish perform on the piano and The Doyle Whiting Band closed down the night.

Congrats Keely & Matt! Thank you for having me join your family for such an incredible day!

Incredible team that Keely and Matt pulled together for their most perfect day! THANK YOU for making this a true dream come true!

Sneak Peek: The Inn At Erlowest || Wedding

Nikki and Michael made it official on a QUINTESSENTIAL holiday weekend to kick start summer in Lake George, NY at The Inn at Erlowest.

While they’ve known each other for awhile, they reconnected in 2016 when Michael requested to follow Nikki on Instagram. Their official first date in Little Italy kickstarted a romance that led them back to the shores of Lake George (which coincidentally, they’ve both grown up visiting with their families separately) to promise forever to each other in front of their family and friends.

From getting ready at her family cabin, to her Dad’s vintage Corvette and Michael’s uncle’s boat on loan for the couple to take a moment before the day REALLY got started…there were so many personal touches that was sprinkled throughout the day. This day was a family love affair and what better way to start summer than together with such an incredible backdrop with the ones you love the most!

I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the images from this day. But for now, here are a few sneak peeks!

Congrats Nikki & Michael!

Sneak Peek: The Mount || Wedding

Breathtaking. That’s a word I’d use for this weekend’s wedding at The Mount. One that brought in the perfect weather, the perfect backdrop, and the perfect people.

Victoria and Matt finally had their celebration this Saturday after a postponement from last year. 2020 was a challenging year for them as it was for all of us. But for two essential workers, they worked through the storm to finally land on such a beautifully epic day that they are SO deserving of. Surrounded by 84 of their favorite people, they exchanged personal vows that brought tears to everyone’s eyes.

I cannot wait to dive into this wedding but for now here are a few sneak peeks.

Congrats Victoria and Matt! Wishing you love and lots more kitties in your future.

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!

Sneak Peek: Tappan Hill Mansion || Wedding

“What is that?”

I asked after watching Lindsey tuck away something small into her wedding outfit. “It’s Josh’s dog tag.”

Josh and Lindsey have an INCREDIBLE love story. It competes hard with The Notebook. Except that it’s VERY different.

They met in Israel (No. it wasn’t a Birthright trip), while Josh was enlisted in the Israeli Navy. And what started initially as a chance meeting at a winery in the Golan Heights, turned into this EPIC love story that started in Israel and came to a peak on Sunday as they celebrated their union together. This wedding was one that pulled at the heart strings. From one of the most moving moments I’ve ever witnessed at a wedding during the Badeken, when Josh veiled Lindsey, to their reception; when Josh performed a song he had written for/about Lindsey shortly after meeting her…but only telling her about it 30 seconds before he performed it in front of all their friends and family Sunday night. Cue the tears.

On Sunday, we were all attached to every single weather app ever invented as we watched the weather change precariously every hour. In the end, we made a decision that rewarded us with the most beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking the Hudson as Lindsey circled her new husband and walked that beautiful flower petal covered walk path as the new Mr. and Mrs. Edrich. Tell me this isn’t real life.

Lindsey and Josh, it was my absolute HONOR to stand beside you and your families to watch you become official. I cannot WAIT to work on the rest of these photos.

Sneak Peek: M & D Farm || Wedding

Kelly, Rich and I have known each other for YEARS! And I can say that because they booked me years ago! What was supposed to be a 2020 wedding quickly changed; to a third date and a new wedding venue for this year. And honestly, it could not have been better! Kelly first came to me saying that her vision for her day was “Grace Kelly having a garden party.” And I think you’ll agree after some of these sneak peeks from their day at M & D Farm in Upstate NY that we had just that!

Congrats Kelly and Rich! BEYOND honored to be there to capture it all for you!

Sneak Peek: The Sablewood || Wedding

I ADORE Rebecca and Cody!

They booked me shortly after getting engaged on NYE this year. They knew that while all things were still up in the air as of January as to what a wedding celebration might look like in 2021, they simply COULD not and WOULD not wait to get married. I remember talking to them on the phone during our first call and Rebecca simply said that she was prepared to have 15 people, 50 people, or 100 people at her wedding, whatever would be allowed and safe, but it was definitely happening THIS year. I loved her spirit behind it because after months of watching my couples reschedule their dates, her determination on a Plan A, B, AND C was inspiring.

Fast forward 9 months later and we gathered together at The Sablewood to celebrate with 101 of Rebecca & Cody’s closest. Cody’s family’s heirloom (a 1937 Bugatti) got some work done and even showed up for the special occasion. And while we dodged rain drops all day, we lucked out with a little relief and took the car out for a spin for some pretty epic pictures.

CONGRATS REBECCA & CODY!! I can’t WAIT to dive into all the images captured on your day but for now here are a few sneak peeks!

Love you both! xo

Sneak Peek: Gramercy Park, NYC || Wedding

Lucy and Louis has been through a whirlwind of a planning process.

After making the difficult decision to push their large celebration to this year, they still gathered to have a microwedding last January in one of the most romantic church ceremonies I’ve ever been honored to witness. But as we inched closer to their large celebration this year, more hurdles were thrown in to get to this day; omicron, an unexpected MASSIVE snowstorm to hit the city the day before/day of their wedding. But they never wavered and neither did their guests. And in true celebratory fashion, 140 guests safely (vaxxed, boosted, tested) gathered to FINALLY celebrate Lucy and Louis in the most glorious of ways.

Here are just a few sneak peeks but I cannot wait to dive in deeper into this beautiful snowy day.

Lucy, Louis, YOU MADE IT!!

Sneak Peeks: Hall of Springs || Wedding

If you didn’t know Maddie and David, you’d wonder why there were carrots on their invitation.

But if you talked to them for 5 minutes or less, they would tell you about their very best friend, Carrot, their dog. That invite is one of the classiest nods to a fur best friend if I’ve ever seen one!

Maddie and David have an incredible love story that started AFTER the pandemic began two years ago. They got matched on Hinge and their first date consisted of a 4 hour long video date where they just clicked and led David to drive down to NYC to meet Maddie in person. And you could say, the rest is history. These two have the most honest and AUTHENTIC love I’ve been lucky enough to witness. I watched them all day long stealing glances with each other. They hand wrote their vows that they shared privately with each other during their first look and as they read them, they listened intently while tears filled their eyes and brimmed before they swiped them away with their fingers. Their love for each other was palpable and everyone at the wedding could feel it.

Maddie, David, (and Carrot!) I’m so honored to capture this day for you! I can’t wait to work on the rest!

Thank you to an incredible vendor team who made the most magical stuff happen for Maddie and David this weekend!

Sneak Peek: St. Patrick's Cathedral, NYC || Wedding

Kelly and Grant made things official this last weekend. Having met in NYC, they wanted to invite their family to share the incredible city that was the backdrop to their love story.

They had a BEAUTIFUL day getting ready at Lotte New York Palace before walking over to the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral to share their vows with each other among their friends and family. This is one of my favorite churches in the US and always such a treat when I shoot there. Always in awe of the architecture that surrounds us. Afterwards we headed over the Hudson River to celebrate at Liberty House and danced until Hurricane Henri came.

Congrats Kelly and Grant! Thank you for adopting me into your families for the day. The love you have for each other exudes from your families and I felt it deep in my core.

I can’t wait to work on the rest, but for now here are a few sneak peeks.

Sneak Peek: Maplewood Country Club || Wedding

This wedding isn’t one I’ll soon forget.

Annie and Jory have waited to celebrate with their families in a grand way for over a year. But this weekend, I was lucky enough to witness the true love these two share for each other. There were so many moments that I’ll be taking with me from this weekend that are forever impression-ed on my mind and my heart. From the private Ketubah signing witnessed by just immediate family where the Rabbi reminded all to be fully present in each moment, to the way Jory gently rubbed his thumbs over Annie’s knuckles as he held her hand in front of their family congregation to publicly make their marriage official. But it’s also the fact that Jory’s been learning Korean for two years and on Saturday night, he surprised all their guests with a speech spoken fully in Korean.

There were so many incredibly emotional moments on Saturday but I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room for anyone who watched Annie dance with her dad. I’m pretty sure we all lost it. I know I did! But it was also in the way that Jory held onto his mom while he watched his wife have this incredible moment with her dad.

This wedding…THIS wedding is one I will not soon forget.

Congrats Annie and Jory!

Sarah and Cameron were my final rescheduled wedding due to the pandemic and it really did not disappoint.

It was held at their private family home in Saratoga County, NY celebrated the way they had always dreamed. I remember when Sarah came to me last year to reschedule, she mentioned that one of her priorities for her day was to make sure that ALL of her loved ones could be there. At the time, regulations only allowed a max of 50.

This weekend we got to do it the way Sarah and Cam envisioned it, on a summer Saturday, with no cloud in the sky, and a tent on the side yard of her family home. With lawn games, cafe lights strewn among trees, littles running around barefoot, and Cam fidgeting his new ring on his finger.

This was a sweet one. I can’t wait to dive into more from today!

Jess and Shane waited 630 days for Friday. And I can vouch that they partied accordingly!!

When the pandemic hit in March 2020, I stayed in close contact with Jess and Shane. We hoped that their September wedding would be untouched that year. But I’m not sure if ANYTHING went unscathed and they downsized their original wedding, still promised forever to each other on the shores of Lake George on their original date and pushed their celebration to a later date.

After two reschedules, they were FINALLY able to celebrate with all their loved ones the way they had originally envisioned. I am so glad I got to celebrate with them twice!

Congrats Jess and Shane! Can you BELIEVE IT?!?! You did it! Love to you both!

It’s been a long time coming for Patina and Victor to get to this past weekend. Another successful ‘coffee meets bagel’ love story. I have SO MUCH love for these two it’s hard to put into words what it meant that I was able to see them embrace their extended family this year after postponing their celebration from last year. I was lucky to be with them last year when they had an intimate group of 9 guests watch them share vows with each other in Brooklyn.

But this year was the one we’ve all been waiting for. The one with three outfit changes. The one with the DJ and the full dance floor. The one where we were able to witness the cutest ringbearers and flower girl. The one where they could say those vows in front of all their friends and family and celebrate the best way they know how.

I can’t wait to share so much more from this day. But for now, here are a few sneak peeks.

This past weekend is what I like to refer to as an Iconic NYC weekend. The weather was beyond what you would call perfect and sets the stage to walk the city for miles and miles.

It’s weekends like these where people come and DREAM of the possibilities! And Annie and Nick lucked out on having the most picturesque day to start their new life together. With the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop to them putting on the most timeless of styles, we then hopped over to Battery Park for their first look. Snuck into a hidden garden for some portraits and then watched the sunset as Annie and Nick shared laughter and promises to each other, under a Chuppah adorned with Annie’s mom’s wedding veil. It’s stuff that you literally read in storybooks. And I’m so honored I got a chance to witness it first hand.

Sneak Peek: Canfield Casino || Wedding

Lauren and Josh met during a Moot Court competition at Albany Law School in 2014 and while I won’t say who beat who, I will say that the start of their existence with each other was not quite love at first sight. But a welcome back party two years later did put them on better terms and soon after started dating.

Josh and Lauren gathered their loved ones at the iconic Canfield Casino in downtown Saratoga, just steps away from where Josh proposed in Congress Park many months before. It is clear that the people they surround themselves with is a reflection of who these two are; kind, genuine, and always putting others before themselves. In fact, they shared the spotlight with Lauren’s parents as they eloped 35 years ago and never had a wedding celebration. So to kick start the night, Mom and Dad took to the dance floor and had a first dance to themselves to their surprise. I’m pretty sure everyone was crying. That’s probably one of the sweetest things I’ve witnessed in a long time and Lauren and Josh are just like that. The people you want in your family, in your friend group, or at the very least, your neighbor.

Congrats Lauren and Josh! Looking forward to diving in deep and working on all the memories you created on your day. But in the meantime, here are a few sneak peeks!

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.

Patina and Victor’s plans changed for this year. But waiting another year was simply not an option.

So 10 of their closest family members (vaccinated and ready to gather) came together at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn this past weekend to celebrate and witness the two of them say their vows. With the backdrop of Manhattan on a perfect day, up high on the terrace of the loft at the Wythe, there were tears and ring exchanges. These two are the sweetest and I’m HONORED I could be a witness to this momentous day as they became Mr. and Mrs.
