A huge thanks also goes out to my second shooter, Lindsay for being all around fantastic!

We started the day with Jenn and Amy at their hotel for a few getting ready shots.

Off to Bear Mountain for a first look!

I would say Amy’s pretty excited, wouldn’t you?

You know what’s awesome? Two brides happy to hike in the woods in their wedding dresses for beautiful photos.

Lindsay’s view above!

Their ceremony was held on the back deck of the Inn. I loved the sign they displayed before the aisle.

Married!

I love recession shots! So much happiness!

On to the reception, these girls threw one heck of a party! I haven’t seen that much awesome dancing in a long time!

Jenn also gave a surprise guitar performance! Please note her amazing rainbow shoes as well.

Amy & Jenn, I wish you two many years of happiness! Congratulations and thank you SO much for having me!

Andrea and Chris came over from the UK to get married in Wagner’s Cove this afternoon and it was just perfect. I had such a great time wandering all over the park with these two, and the fall colors are right at their peak. More to come!

Congratulations guys!

Last night at sunset I got to stroll through Central Park for the gorgeous wedding of these two ladies, and it was amazing. So much more to come!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Lisa & Nathan got hitched yesterday at Housing Works in Soho! A beautiful fall day, super fun wedding party, and a great setting = awesome time. More to come!

Congratulations!

This was one crazy wedding weekend! On Saturday, I had the pleasure of working with Beth and Blake in Central Park. These two were fabulous and they had the absolute perfect day for a rooftop park wedding. Yes, you heard correctly. Married on a rooftop with skyline views at sunset in Central Park? Yes, please. More to come!

Congratulations!

Congrats ladies!

When I first had coffee with Carol on a rainy day in September, I knew right away I wanted to work with her. She was incredibly genuine and knew the most important part of this whole deal was the marriage not the fancy wedding affair.  Fast forward a few weeks to their elopement, and I was right. This day was wonderful in every way.

As I mentioned in their preview post, Carol and Bob are the real deal. These guys have known each other for 18 years, live together on a sail boat, and they couldn’t have been more radiant and in love on their wedding day if they tried. Couples like Carol and Bob are the reason I love shooting elopements. They were one of the warmest, happiest, most in love couples I’ve worked with and left me with a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon.

I’m not sure I’ve had a more smiley bride then Carol. She’s either laughing or has an amazing grin on her face in about 99.7% of the photos I took. This girl was seriously glowing sunbeams the whole afternoon.

I think she likes him… What do you guys think?

Their friends and family from Canada came down for the day and were loads of fun.

I’ve seen a lot of City Hall weddings at this point. But you guys, this one might just have been my favorite. Not only because we got the awesome officiant guy at City Hall (seriously, he’s amazing for each and every wedding of the million I’m sure he does each day) but because of Carol’s reaction to a little ring surprise. Bob warned me beforehand that there would be a special surprise with the rings, but didn’t tell me what. Well, Carol’s face says everything don’t you think?:-)

Carol had been wanting a special fancy wedding band, but Bob said it was too grand and that they couldn’t afford it. So they got simple bands instead. Little did she know, he had purchased it for her without her knowing as surprise on their day.

The officiant saw how excited she was and basically said, “You can go ahead and give him a kiss now if you like!” It was about the sweetest thing ever.

Yay! After the wedding, we all hopped in a limo and headed up to Central Park for a few more portraits!

We ended the afternoon with Bob and friends serenading everyone with a song written just for Carol. Bob and Carol, thank you SO much for having me! You day was just fantastic and I had a wonderful time getting to know you both! Best wishes and loads of congratulations!

Oh you guys. This wedding. One of my most favorite of the year. This was one of those weddings were I just stood there and was like, “You know what? My job can be pretty fantastic.”  Sarah and Brianna are two amazing women who had an equally amazing wedding this fall in the teeny town of Acramdale, NY at the Circa 1799 Barn. The skies were threatening rain all day, but things held out until right before the reception, so everything worked out great!

Aren’t they gorgeous?

I LOVE country weddings, and the scenery around this place was beautiful.

You two together just make me smile.

Yep. Rolling mountain countryside, you are wonderful.

Now, I will never suggest a jumpy photo, as I know some people are anti the cheesy stuff. However, if someone suggests it to ME, then I’m more then happy to oblige! And holy moly, these guys rocked it! This photo makes me laugh every time I look at it.

After portraits, Brianna and Sarah were married in a beautiful ceremony under a huge tree on the lawn.

They danced out to Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind. Awesomesauce.

I loved their photo table numbers!

After a delicious dinner, it was time for a barn dance!

My favorite part though might have been the honeymoon surprise. Sarah and Brianna’s friends all chipped in to get them a surprise trip to Maine! The look on their faces was priceless!

Sarah and Brianna, thank you for being awesome! I couldn’t have had more fun at your wedding! Thanks times a million for having me! Congratulations!!
