The Inn at West Settlement Wedding

The Inn at West Settlement Wedding

Amanda and Tobey are very low key. So low key in fact that they almost just wanted to elope and forgo having a big wedding. But in the end I’m sure they’re happy they didn’t elope because their wedding was an awesome celebration with their friends and family, not to mention great food and music in a bucolic setting nestled in the Catskills.

Their wedding was at The Inn at West Settlement in Roxbury, NY. I had never shot there before but it had long been on my radar as a place I would love to photograph. And it didn’t disappoint. I go to Roxbury at least once a year to go snowboarding at Plattekill Mountain, but I have never been there without lots of snow on the ground. Well let me tell you, it’s just as beautiful in the spring and summer as it is in the winter.

The Inn at West Settlement was a perfect location for their Catskills wedding because they’re both very into hiking and the outdoors. As an affirmation to their love of nature, they took most of the guests on a hike in the morning before their wedding. There was a threat of rain in the afternoon, but the weather held out for a sunny outdoor ceremony and the evening was crisp and cool. The party went on into the night with music by the Round House Rockers. During the party they also had a bonfire under the night sky. Overall it was a perfect day at The Inn at West Settlement Wedding.

Mohonk Wedding

A Picture Perfect Mohonk Wedding

May and Terrence has a storybook Mohonk Wedding at Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. They live in the NYC but they chose to have a Mohonk wedding because it’s a the perfect Hudson Valley wedding venue. The weather was perfect and the gardens were in full bloom in late August. Mohonk’s garden theme this year was “crayons” so it was a veritable palette of color. I always love shooting in the garden at Mohonk because it’s always different and always unique.

Their first look in the garden was a nice way for them to get to see each other before the wedding and also a really nice photo op. May’s gown was stunning and the flowers by Flowers By Elissa were gorgeous and added just the right touch. If you ever need wedding flowers check her out!

The ceremony in the garden was officiated by a family friend. The bride entered in a horse drawn carriage entrance really set the tone. After the ceremony we did family photos in the garden as well as portraits of the newlyweds. The garden is always a focal point at a Mohonk Wedding and this was no exception.

The reception featured music by the Gerard Carelli Orchestra and the sound was amazing, which came as no surprise since the bride is a musician herself. The music was great and everyone had a wonderful time dancing. Overall it was a storybook Mohonk wedding. But don’t take my word for it. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think.

Eagle’s Nest Wedding – Sarah & Brian

Sarah and Brian’s Eagle’s Nest Wedding Reception

Sarah and Brian’s Eagle’s Nest Wedding Reception was awesome. They actually got married in Maine a few days before their Eagle’s Nest Wedding reception but wanted to have a party back in NY for everyone who couldn’t make it up to Maine. Apparently it rained at the wedding ceremony in Maine and then it rained at their wedding reception in New York. Since rain on your wedding day is good luck, these two have really good luck! Fortunately the reception was all indoors and Eagle’s Nest knows how to throw a great party. Below are a few photos I took of the newlyweds outside on the lawn before the rain. How cute are these two?

Same Sex Engagement Photos – Christopher & William’s Engagement Shoot

Same Sex Engagement Photos – Christopher & William’s Engagement Shoot

I met Chris and William for the first time on the morning that I did their same sex engagement photos at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. It turned out that they’re awesome guys and oh, so in love. We had a great time walking around and getting to know each other. I could see their chemistry and their genuine love for one another. They are such a cute couple and I can’t wait for their August wedding at The Emerson Resort in Shandaken, NY. The Emerson is nestled in the beautiful Catskills.

Amy & Frank’s Mohonk Mountain House Wedding

Amy & Frank’s early fall wedding at Mohonk Mountain House was a perfect Catskills wedding. It was threatening to rain all day but the weather held off so the ceremony could be outside. It was a beautiful wedding in the garden. During the reception there was quite a thunder storm, but they say rain on your wedding day is good luck. Please enjoy the photos below.

Mohonk Wedding Photographer – Maria & Tim’s Mohonk Wedding

Mohonk Wedding Photographer – Maria & Tim’s Mohonk Wedding

Maria & Tim’s Mohonk wedding was unique in many ways. Maria was seven months pregnant (and she looked fantastic). The whole wedding was only ten people including the bride and groom. I was just Tim’s family since Maria’s family is in Italy. It also happened to be Tim’s parents fiftieth wedding anniversary and they just so happened to have honeymoon at Mohonk fifty years ago. The other thing about Tim’s family is that they’re musical. Very musical. Tim’s mom is a pianist, and though Tim claims that he and his sisters are amateur singers, they’re actually pretty amazing. I also shot video for this wedding too so it’s nice to be able to go back and hear the many songs that were sung during the ceremony. Below are some of my favorite photos from the day. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there.
