amanda + austin // micro-wedding

 

Amanda and Austin initially planned for a celebration at a large wedding venue in Upstate New York but after restrictions on large gatherings, they scaled back their plans and decided to host a micro wedding in a community garden in Massachusetts. Both being avid bird watchers and plant enthusiasts the setting was a perfect fit for them. With warm weather and their closest family by their side, the day was one to remember. Here are some of our favorite photos.

alice + steve // couple's session

 
 

As anyone who has been married before knows, the process is anything but simple. Couples put a lot of thought and care into planning and making hundreds of little decisions along the way to craft the perfect day. This year has thrown quite a curveball at all this hard work. Alice and Steve originally hired us to photograph their wedding at The Historic Barns of Nipmoose but due to the shutdown couldn’t move forward with those plans. Not to be deterred, they modified their event and held a small and socially distanced backyard ceremony with close family and friends instead. Afterwards, I joined them for a photo session with just the two of them. All of the details, including the wedding dress were handcrafted by Alice herself! They will be having their full wedding in 2021, we can’t wait!

On a perfect summer day, one of our photographers, Kiah, headed over to the lush Innisfree Garden in Dutchess County, New York for Brittany and Ian’s engagement session. They are such an awesome couple and are the perfect combination of elegant and sweet. They will be getting married at Stablegate Barn & Vineyard later this year. Here are some of our favorite shots from their engagement session.


 

patty + john // greywacke meadows

 

There’s nothing like a beautiful fall day where the colors have hit their peak and it happens to be warm enough to enjoy it. That was the setting for Patty and John’s big day at Greywacke Meadows in Cropseyville, New York. Patty looked stunning in a classic sleeveless wedding dress and perfectly fit John’s sharp styled tux and bowtie. The whole day was a beautiful mix of tender moments with family and friends and some of the best dance floor moves we’ve seen in a while. We were fortunate to capture both photos and video for this day. Here are some of our favorite moments.
