Hill-Stead Museum Rehearsal Dinner: Alex & Breck
Alex and Breck had a beautiful night at The Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington CT for their rehearsal dinner a few weeks ago despite the threat of rain all week! Breck’s family brought a bit of the South to New England making for a warm, relaxed event between two families who were thrilled with their children’s choices in partners. We always love hearing toasts and speeches about the couple from their family & friends–a real highlight of the night. Congratulations Alex and Breck and thank you to Breck’s mom, Jane…it was such a pleasure meeting and working with you!

Watch Hill Ocean House Wedding: Hillary and Zane!
Turn of the (19th) century Watch Hill RI definitely recalls an unplugged time–just the spot to slow down and savor your wedding day with family and friends. On a blue sky June Saturday, with Block Island and Montauk Point on the horizon, Hillary and Zane were married at the wooden-beamed Watch Hill Chapel. A quick saunter across Bluff Road, and the guests kicked off the party at the beautiful Ocean House. But first, Hillary and Zane and the bridal party stopped by Watch Hill’s Flying Horse Carousel and little downtown for some fun photos.
Guest enjoyed their special drink, the “Trustful Pirate”, along with the raw bar at the cocktail party on the porch, which featured a display for K.I.D.S., Kids in Distressed Situations that received a donation in place of wedding favors. Onto the reception, where the speeches and letting loose began with the high-energy SoulSystem Orchestras. And later, we all headed back to the porch for a blast of fireworks over the beach, and ended the night with a farewell to Hillary and Zane through a sea of sparklers.
Such a fun wedding! It was a pleasure working with the amazing Nancy Goldstein from Amazing Celebrations! And the flowers from Paula Gallo’s Pentimento Flowers looked great as always.
Congratulations Hillary and Zane and thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding! To see many more photos please click here.

Gedney Farm Berkshires Wedding: Amanda and Phil!
We first met Amanda and Phil in NYC last year, meandering through their neighborhood in the Village and Meatpacking District on a photo shoot.
After a long winter, it’s a remarkably balmy June 1st and they are out of the City, up in the Berkshires for a most stylish country wedding, full of wonderful contrasts. Such as….a peaceful, reflective outdoor ceremony in a meadow, followed by a (somewhat) raucous Berkshires Barn Bash at Gedney Farm with the dance floor pulsating along with the energetic crowd. Such as…sweet and loving speeches and later, a rousing singing of “Alma Mater” by the dozens of Cornell alums in attendance. Full of life and enjoying every minute…a joyous celebration all around!
The day started earlier with Phil and the guys donning Brooks Brothers tan tartan ties at Stockbridge’s classic Red Lion Inn while Amanda (loved her sleek dress from Elizabeth Fillmore!) and the girls got ready down the road from Gedney Farm at the New Englandy Old Inn on the Green in New Marlborough MA. The Hank Lane band was spot-on for the reception–always a great band. And the lovely flowers in shades of white from the Berkshire’s Crocus Hale florist complemented their wedding’s look and feel.
Amanda and Phil, congratulations and thanks for having us document your day! Have a wonderful summer!!
