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:

Destination Wedding in New York City with a couple from the UK

Katy, a florist from the UK wanted to have her destination wedding in New York City.  Philip and her have been to New York City a few times and knew this was going to be the place.  Their families flew out from the UK to come and support the exciting event and shower them with love and encouragement!  It was a sweet, intimate ceremony inside the New York City City Hall, followed by some amazing portraitures throughout New York City.  Katy really loves the gritty urban look of NYC so we tried to incorporate that as much as possible.  We ventured through Soho, the West Village and Chelsea.  Took her to all the places I love to go to as a New York City wedding photographer. Here are some highlights:

A Queens City Hall, New York City Elopement

My dear friends, Sophia & Ryan currently live in LA, California- but wanted to come back to New York City (Sophia’s hometown) to get married so that her grandma could witness the great moment! They got ready together at the Standard Hotel - East Village then headed over to the Queens (represent!) County Courthouse to get married! Yes, we even took a photo with the 7 train :O) The ceremony was sweet and they were surrounded by their family and close friends and it was a honor and quite an adventure to witness and capture it all!! It was a sweet New York City elopement that was a precursor to their LA Wedding in the following year. Here are some highlights from the day!!

Wythe Hotel Wedding Prep and Dumbo Loft Wedding in Brooklyn, New York City

Christina and Brandon had such an amazing wedding day. They began their day at the Wythe Hotel and then did their wedding photos at Brooklyn Bridge Park with Jane’s Carousel in their immediate backdrop. They then had their wedding at the  Dumbo Loft -which is an amazing raw space that was beautifully envisioned and adorned by Christina and her amazingly talented friend, Becky!  (Well Spring Writes)  It was a gorgeous and touching ceremony, full of laughter, supportive friends and Dinosaur BBQ.  <3  Good times of crazy dancing, a donut piñata; mobbed and attacked by the bachelors; and cigars to end the night.  I’m always a fan of a raw wedding space where the couples get to choose what they want exactly at their wedding. There’s really no place like that except in Brooklyn! I am so thankful they chose me to capture their beautiful memories as their new york city wedding photographer! Nothing can top this.
