Foxfire Mountain House Wedding in Catskills, New York

Charlotte and Jeff took their guests out of NYC upstate to Mt. Tremper, NY in the Catskill Mountains and to the enchanting hotel and venue Foxfire Mountain House for a weekend of wedding celebrations. During the wedding day guests could choose from activities like a complimentary yoga class or hiking to Kaaterskill Falls before attending the main event at Foxfire Mountain House that evening.  It was a gorgeous Fall day with beautiful foliage, which made it even more beautiful to photograph.

Guests filtered into the mountain house for pre-ceremony cocktails before stepping out onto the veranda to watch the couple tie the knot under a modern chuppah designed and built by the bride's architect father. After the ceremony,  guests could explore the venue's grounds, which included a lily pond and adjoining pavilion. The festivities then moved to the reception tent with a unique Moroccan tiled dance floor! In between dancing to the band the Loyales, guests could enjoy snapping photos in the vintage airstream photo booth and dining on the local farm to table multi course meal provided by Foxfire as well.  Here are some highlights:

New York City Hall Elopement and Wedding Session

Liz and Soni were having a larger affair in a couple of months, but wanted to do something intimate before their big celebration. They decided to go to New York City Hall and have an intimate ceremony first (just the two of them! Plus me as the witness :D) and a sweet portrait session right after! It was such a great time to be able to photograph them in this moment and then wander around downtown New York City together afterwards! It was a nice touch since they were having their wedding in PA and it was a great idea to get some city landscapes and gorgeous wildness landscapes during the wedding day!

New York City Hall Wedding & Long Island Clam Bake

Ariana and Tim had recently decided to both move to London.  But before doing so, they wanted to get married!  They wanted something low-key and intimate, so they decided to have their ceremony at the New York City Hall, and then a small shindig at Ariana's parent's beach house in Long Island.  We took photos along the streets of New York- and also at the newly opened Fulton Square Subway Station!! It was gorgeous and fun in every way.  Not only is the couple super gorgeous, but the way the Izzo's dolled up their home for the clam bake just blew me away. I love how my couples always think of unique ways to celebrate their families and their unions with a New York City Wedding! Here are some of my favorite shots:

A New York City Multicultural Wedding in Queens

Neda and I bonded over bubble tea when we first met, so we only saw it fitting that we would get a shot of the couple in front of her favorite bubble tea spot in Flushing, Queens.  Neda is also a huge, huge fan of Totoro-- so of course Totoro was a theme throughout her wedding.  Totoro cake toppers and a mega huge totoro cut-out for the photobooth!? AWESOME!!  One of my favorite parts of the wedding was during the ceremony.  Neda loves the show Friends (so do I!) so when her friend officiated her wedding with, "It is a love based on giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have... and receive." There were so many great parts to the day, we began at Neda’s family home, then headed over to Gantry State Park to do some wedding portraits then finished the day back in Queens at the Sheraton Hotel for their reception. It was another amazing night as a New York City wedding photographer!  ;)
