How about stepping back to a much warmer and prettier time…like last September at the Hudson Valley’s Red Maple Vineyard!

Before the public ceremony, in the loft of Red Maple Vineyard’s converted barn Ilana and Mike signed a beautiful wood-cut Ketubah that Ilana’s sister, Shira created, and their four parents offered some great advice on living life as a couple.  I really enjoy photographing Ketubah ceremonies–that pause for reflection in a much more intimate setting before the larger, public celebration of your wedding is needed now more than ever.

Meanwhile back at the “other” wedding ceremony, guests made their way up the ridge high above the Hudson, where Ilana–looking stylish in her Pronovias dress–and Mike exchanged vows.  From the rustic converted barn (decorated with photos from Ilana and Mike’s life) to the outdoor fireplace set in old barn’s stone foundation (where guests toasted marshmallows late at night) the vibe was perfect for relaxing and soaking in the last bit of summer.  All nicely catered by Cornerstone Catering (who also cater Wainwright House in Rye NY).

Ilana and Mike, congratulations!  Thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding!  To see many more photos click here

Bellafare’s “Behind the Scenes” Wedding Video

What a great idea!  We loved this video that wedding planners, Kristin and Lauren from Bellafare put together showing what it takes to make a tented wedding happen!  We’ve really enjoyed working with Kristin and Lauren over the years…great taste and great personalities make their weddings really beautiful yet relaxed.  Here’s a look at a few favorites we’ve worked at together:  Hollen and Adam’s Wedding and Greg and Kaitlin’s Wedding, and check out the video below!  And we loved seeing two of our other favorites vendors we work with also involved in the video – Sperry Tents of course and Mike Cyr from Buzz Media who made the video and who we always recommend for his small footprint and great personality! Enjoy!
