{ A + W } Love and family ~ Westchester Wedding Photographer

“What will survive of us is love.”  ~ Phillip Larkin

Marriage creates new families and perhaps this is one of it’s greatest gifts.

When They stood in front of their family and friends their promise was to love one another, but more profoundly it was to unite their families with their love.  It was a beautiful Westchester wedding awash with tears and laughter and music and food and donuts and love.

{ Molly + Jeff } Crystal Springs Resort ~ Ballyowen Wedding ~ Northern New Jersey

Who says you can’t have an absolutely gorgeous wedding on a rainy day?

Beautiful Molly and Jeff had a stunning wedding at the Ballyowen Golf Resort in Hamburg, New Jersey.  Festive with fall color and decorations, the ceremony dared the ominous clouds to break.  They did not.  And it was so beautiful as they said I do in front of their guests and family and an empty golf course!

With pizza, popcorn, music, and yes, some Gangnam-style, and Molly’s infectious smile, it was an wonderful evening all around.

{ Rachel + Jason } Wedding at Stone Tavern Farm, Roxbury, New York

“Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbow’s are visions
They’re only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they’re wrong wait and see

Someday we’ll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me”

~ Kermit the Frog

Beautiful Rachel and her kind and generous Jason built a day of rainbow smiles as they said yes under a yellow tree on a field of autumn’s last breath of green.  Laughter, music, air guitars, food and drink and more laughter with a bride and groom comedy roast  (the headline act was Rachel’s nephew who brought the house down!)

It was a spirited day that filled the immense barn that is Stone Tavern Farm.

{ Stephanie + Mike } Hunter Mountain Wedding ~ Kaatskill Mountain Lodge

“…there’s a blue sky where there once was fog and rain
We know each other now clear through and through
The fog has lifted what a beautiful view…”

~ Dolly Parton

Hunter Mountain can be a tricky (but exciting) place for a Fall wedding.  Having a wedding at Hunter Mountain IS about going to the top.  Hearts are set on it.  Best made plans have been laid.  But Mother Nature may have other plans for you.  Be prepared.

Stephanie and Mike listened as Tracy (the coordinator at Hunter Mountain) gave them the weather report.  There was no way there could be a ceremony at the top.  It was raining.  Heavy fog had moved in.  And it was cold.  Everyone waited to hear the news.   The ceremony would be in the lodge.  So quickly everyone took their seat, readjusted their thinking.  And Stephanie and Mike were married with smiles and love.

Like I said.  Hearts are set on going up to the top.  This was no exception.  And, when you accept an assignment to shoot a wedding at Hunter Mountain you know that whatever you have to do, you have to go to the top, come rain or come shine.  We quickly gathered garbage bags, lens hoods, umbrellas and up we went.

Did I say it was cold.  It was.  Everyone got soaked.  The bride.  The groom.  The bridal party.  And a few hearty guests.  We cut through the fog, arriving on top to find thick, thick, fog.

We took photos as quickly as possible, descended the mountain top (can they make the lift go any faster?) and went to the party where it was warm with music and dance and flowers and food and fun.
