We couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday for Amy and Ryan’s wedding. Although I didn’t know Amy in HS we both went to Greenwich High and it was so fun to see some of her friends who I did now from way back when. Amy and Ryan met while attending college at St. Lawrence many, many of their friends who went there with them were able to make it to the wedding, making it a wicked fun party for me to photograph.

Amy and Ryan did a great job planning the day from one of my favorite locations to searching for hours on end to find a trolly to take them to and from the church. They were married at Resurrection Church in Rye, NY I church I know well from working there so many times and having had my best friend married there as well. The light is always beautiful in there and the side aisles along the alter area make it easy for me to get some great shots of the bride and groom.

The bridesmaids wore J.crew navy dresses while the groomsmen had on yellow pants made for some great eye popping color coordination:) And let’s not forget the feather’s Amy wore in her hair. Her dress designer Catherine a close family friend had suggested the idea and they looked so good.

Enjoy the sneak peak!

Would you marry her on a train would you marry her in the rain? Okay so those might not be the exact vows that Marek and Sarah took yesterday but they were written to the tune of Dr. Suess and I just loved that. Sarah and Marek put so much thought into such an awesome wedding day, from the hand picked moss that went into the center pieces to the custom made table numbers made out of paint chip cards.

We did have a little rain but who can complain about that when everything else goes off without a hitch. The rain did let up so we could take some fun formals outside the Shadow Lawn Barn, what a great venue. David and Dan the owners of Shadow Lawn definitely have something unique on theirs hands and I can’t wait to work there again. Shadow Lawn is an old barn in High Falls, NY. The barn itself is an open floor plan and has all the cool old wood on the walls and floor giving it the great country wedding feel. The Artists Palate catered the event and they did an impeccable job, and the food YUM-IE. They did all the cooking out back which flooded the barn with the smell of smoke from the smoked beef engaging all the senses! Enjoy the sneak peak at the photos!

Laura and Adam had one of the most amazing weddings I’ve ever been a part of! Laura was determined to be married out on a hill in the Hudson Valley despite the impending weather. But what a 30min ceremony it made for, we had everything from dark clouds, wind, to rain, thunder, sun, a rainbow, and at the end the most glorious late afternoon light, a photographers dream. The guests were all great as they were patient in the rain some getting wet and some popping umbrellas. I can’t wait to shoot there again what an amazing location!
