We wrapped up our busiest season yet with this Roundhouse wedding in Beacon, NY and it was absolutely perfect! We’ve crossed paths with the bride, Michaila, several times as a guest and bridesmaid at various weddings over the years. I distinctly recall thinking, “who is this firecracker!” So, needless to say when she approached us about photographing her winter wedding in NY, we were thrilled! We couldn’t help but wonder who could match the energy of this dynamo, and we’re pleased to say Chris more than rose to the occasion! From the moment we met him, it was evident that these two were a match made in heaven. During the ceremony, vows, and toasts, we were treated to heartwarming stories of how they found each other – truly one of the highlights of the day for us! Another standout moment was reconnecting with four of our past couples and their friends, who have become dear friends to us as well. We feel incredibly fortunate to have these amazing people in our lives and are grateful for the warmth with which they’ve welcomed us. Michaila and Chris, we can’t thank you enough for inviting us to share in your special day! Until we meet again – and we certainly will!

We had the incredible pleasure of documenting the unforgettable union of Alex and Tommy at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI. As you know we love a Castle Hill Wedding, but an Italian wedding AT Castle Hill? I’m happy to say this one truly lived up to our expectations. Hailing from New Jersey, this couple brought a taste of their vibrant heritage, making their wedding a feast for the senses.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Castle Hill Inn, every detail was meticulously curated with the help of Wanderlust Events, elevating the guest experience to unparalleled heights. Greenlion Designs worked their magic, transforming the tent into a radiant space. The hanging floral display above the head table was nothing short of extraordinary. We were in awe!

Now, let’s dive into the heart of it all—the couple. Alex and Tommy, lifelong besties since high school, embarked on a love story that began in those early days. Tommy, a true romantic, wore his heart on his sleeve, shedding tears and showcasing the depth of their emotional connection.

This Castle Hill wedding was a testament to love, joy, and the richness of Italian traditions. These two italian girls were so happy to be there to document all that beauty!

This was very nearly the Manhattan engagement session that almost wasn’t! Abbie and Bryan are super busy people. No surprise because only very important people hire us! Unfortunately it sometimes makes scheduling difficult. Abbie started a new job that required travel, there was bad weather, we got booked with portraits as the fall arrived. Let’s not forget the weddings that were already scheduled every weekend! We must have rescheduled this session about five times! But then the deadline for Abbie and Bryan to print their save the dates was looming and we made it happen.

There was some rain in the forecast for the day we met this fabulous couple at the Seaport in Manhattan, but we decided to just go with it! We had no choice! It was now or never. It only sprinkled a little, and we think it was to our advantage. Sometimes, they wet everything down on a movie set before filming because the water brings out the colors and adds a little reflection. We think we got the same effect from the rain! Look at those wet cobblestones! And the blue of Abbie’s dress just popped!

We’re so glad we were able to at last make this engagement session in Manhattan happen with Abbie and Bryan. As Abbie’s cookie from Funny Face Bakery says in the last image … fucking finally!
