Gather Greene Wedding - Catskills, NY - Sallie & Evan
Sallie & Evan have been NYC-dwellers for 8 years, but for their wedding they chose a weekend getaway upstate for their family and friends to enjoy the peace and beauty the Catskills has to offer. At Gather Greene, youโre completely immersed in nature- there are wooded paths, rolling hills, a quarry, and mountain views along with EPIC sunsets (scroll down to see what I mean!) Not to mention a stunning modern barn reception space outfitted with exposed wood beams and cement walls. Itโs the perfect blank canvas to make it your own with a floral installation, or keep it simple and just show off the architecture. You really canโt go wrong with any backdrop here.
Seriously, if youโre considering a unique, minimal space surrounded by nature within a 3 hour drive of the city that can accommodate guests overnight- this is it. There are cute treehouse-like cabins sweetly situated at the back of the property, where you wake up gazing through a huge picture window and your whole field of vision is of the trees outside. Thereโs lots of cute towns nearby including Hudson, Phoenicia, Saugerties, and Catskill to explore, and for overflow guests to stay as well.
Olmsted Restaurant Wedding - Brooklyn, NYC - Sonya & Sage
Sonya & Sage had an intimate wedding at their favorite restaurant Olmsted, right around the corner from their Brooklyn apartment!
Sonya got ready in their apartment with a couple friends, and Sage got ready literally one door down at their neighborโs apartment who were also attending the wedding. We then had their first look on the steps of their brownstone, and took some portraits on their tree-lined street.
The chosen vibe for their wedding: โWe want it to feel like a low-key botanical garden disco. Is a low-key disco a thing? We're making it one.โ I think they succeeded. The casual backyard space where they got married is literally a garden- the restaurant actually grows some of their produce right on-site! It made for an intimate sweet ceremony space, and when we moved inside for dinner, they used it as a cozy lounge area complete with string lights and sโmores.
Berkshires Wedding, Buxton School - Leah & Kevin
Leah & Kevin spent their laid back wedding weekend at the Buxton School in western Massachusetts in the middle of the Berkshires. I was lucky enough to join them for their rehearsal dinner the night before, and crash in the dorms with their family & friends both nights. Everyone was so sweet & welcoming- it really felt like I was photographing a friendโs wedding even though weโd only met in person once before!
Block Island Elopement - Taryn & Andrei
I met up with Taryn & Andrei at Mansion beach on Block Island for wedding portraits at golden hour, and some SERIOUS magic happened. These two are just so into each together- the camera ATE THEM UP. And we ended up witnessing the single BEST sunset Iโve ever seen in my life. No joke. Period.
