Buckley Farms | Lisa and Roxana

This sweet Brooklyn Based couple wanted to have their small intimate wedding up in the capital region, specifically at the Buckley Farms! I love this spot, its filled with so much wholesomeness and ease. Things could not have been more perfect for a low key, light hearted, and exciting day filled with lots of loved ones and lots of heart felt tears. I say this a lot but I felt so honored to have been a part of this intimate day.

Honors Haven Ellenville NY | Mat + Mike

Mat and Mike have already "officially" gotten married but still wanted to have their celebration with all of their loved ones, friends and family and everyone under the rainbow. Honors Haven was the perfect place for them to do it, as the day was gorgeous and their photos essentially captured the care they have for each other, the sillyness and relaxed nature of their relationship, and the teamwork and communication that was displayed through their efforts in making this day the perfect day. #MatMike17

Wing's Castle Engagement | Kim and Rick

Kim and Rick are so sweet to each other, This soft spoken and chivalrous man and this powerful assertive woman are nothing but kind to each other, and they can't help but smile at each other and with each other. I could barely hear their conversations as I guided them into positions and encouraging them to continue to talk to each other, but I could tell it was just full of love, or at least full of silly mouth noises. Wings Castle was the perfect location for their medieval looks, it was as if it was meant just for them.

LIC Landing + Astoria Park Engagement | Anna and Kirstie

Anna and Kirstie are private people, which for more intimate photos can be a small challenge, but once Anna was giving a million kisses and warming Kirstie up, it was game time and love just shown through. We took a couple of photos within the apartment that they are leaving for Philadelphia with their dog and cat. Excuse the excessive animal photos. We moved through Astoria Park and eventually ended up at LIC Landing for a beautiful skyline. Smart, easy going, and dedicated, they would go the extra mile for the other in a heartbeat.

Birch Hill Castleton-On-Hudson | Mike and Adrian's Wedding

It was a good day for a Wedding. They started the day, getting ready with each other, slowly putting together the details of their day attire on and getting ready for portraits. They were getting married in STYLE. We walked around right around the State Capital and Plaza to create gorgeous photos of them in their massively stylish outfit. When it was time to get to the venue, everything was falling into place. We also were doing some Shenanigans with the Wedding Party before the Ceremony... You'll just have to scroll to see the ridiculousness!

Katie + Cam's Wedding

The days leading up to their wedding were filled with excitement, with family flying in, and making details and going over the logistics and it was finally here! Katie and Cam were getting married and I NEED to show you their day because its a story of two people who were destined to be together, not because it was uncontrolled, but by choice and through love. They could not have been more made for each other, and I am always so grateful to find clients who always love spending time together.

Nichole + Sean's Wedding Extravaganza

The day couldn't have been more full of activity than this wedding, people were all excited to see the Bride in her full get up before the ceremony. We were trying to get people away from the hotel door all morning while taking tons of Getting Ready Photos and details. When it came to the first look,  Sean was excited, he couldn't wait to see her, in her dress, all made up. Nichole couldn't wait to see him, his beaming smile and his infectious laugh. They loved each other for years already, you could tell by the way the joked with each other, by the way they laughed with and at each other, and by the way they both go into full damage control mode when things didn't seem to go as expected. They can do anything together, I know this for a fact, because I've seen these two go to it. Check out the day with them!
