On a gorgeous March morning, I drove up to Hudson Valley, NY (about a 2 hour drive from New York City) to witness the wedding of Angela and Josh. The officiant shared a very humorous story about their first meeting. (I am still unsure if this is 100% truth, but sounds true enough to me!) Both Josh and Angela worked at a High School, Josh as a music teacher (and moonlights as a bassist in a band) and Angela (a talented painter and a woman with great taste in everything (including her photographer- haha), as the "new girl" in the administration office. Josh walks into the office, probably in need of something, sees Angela... and then walks straight out. In short, he was probably blown away by her beauty. Few months later, they play together on the school softball team and ta-da, began their relationship. They both live in Brooklyn but wanted to have their wedding in Hudson Valley since it’s a gorgeous and quaint city away from New York City! Here are some highlights of their wedding day! :)
A Rochester New York Wedding in the Fall
Flying back up to Rochester brought back a lot of memories. One of the things I missed most was Java's Coffee. When I was in college, we had a Java's on our campus, and that was my go-to spot for caffeine and amazing cookies. They have THE best 'heath' cookies... ! To which I can only compare to Momofuku Compost Cookies... but anyways, enough about COOKIES... I was honored to be asked to photograph the wedding of two of my good friends, Elaine and Gary- whom I had known from my college fellowship at the Rochester Chinese Christian Church. It was a beautiful ceremony, with so many familiar faces. It was a blast being able to party with some old-but still great- friends. CONGRATS YOU TWO! :) Here are some highlights from the day:
