Handsome Hollow Wedding, Catskills, NY - Jessica and Steve

So excited to share this gorgeous wedding recently featured on Over The Moon blog!

If you know me you know that sometimes I like to escape the city and admire the beauty of the natural world! Sometimes I get really lucky and my couples lead me to some of the most magical spots outside of NYC. This time around I discovered my new Catskills favorite - Handsome Hollow.

But enough about the location, because what truly made the day so special was Jessica and Steve and their guests, of course! From the moment I met these two I was in love with their love! Seriously, they care so deeply about each other and it shows in everything they do together.

Brooklyn Winery Wedding, Brooklyn, NYC - Lisa & Andrew

From the moment I met Lisa and Andrew I could see these two have the most incredible loving supportive relationship. We met up in Fort Greene for their engagement photos which turned out so intimate and joyful (engagement blog) and seeing them again together during their first look on the wedding day was so special. Lisa and Andrew cannot help but glow in the presence of each other:) 

I am going to leave these word here written by the couple about each other because they are the sweetest:

Lisa - “Andrew is always striving to do better, and to be a continually better version of himself. He is self aware, thoughtful, and compassionate in all areas of his life. His constant striving to be better makes him a hard worker, a great friend, and most of all, a dedicated partner. It is inspiring to be with someone who is continually pushing themselves to keep moving, and to never standstill. He also admittedly loves cats, and never complains about my obsession with corgis”

Andrew - “Kindness, dedication, love, true caring in all relationships only begin to describe what an amazing person Lisa is. She kindles livelong friendships that bear the test of time and distance. She is funny, sarcastic, and even laughs at my goofy humor. Her strength permeates everything that she does, which is evident in our relationship--she is the only reason we have made it this far and the person I am today. She puts others ahead of herself, devoting her time, emotion, and focus for them and their lives. Her devotion knows no bounds! This has made our relationship a true partnership; it guides our future and supports us in the difficult moments. Our families have been through a lot over these past few years, yet Lisa is right by my side giving her love and support. It was her alluring presence that entranced me the first time we met, with her beautiful eyes and striking look, yet her love and strength are her defining characteristics.”

Lisa and Andrew picked Brooklyn Winery for their winter celebration and although it was one of these cold NYC winters we were able to take a stroll down the block from their venue for a couple of photos outside!

501 Union Brooklyn Wedding, Hayley + Ryan

It's time I share some Brooklyn love with you! Hayley and Ryan met at work 5 years ago and became friends right away but didn't start dating until a year later after one fateful canceled date Ryan instead invited Hayley to a concert where "a spark" finally happened! I met these two in a their neighborhood Brooklyn coffee shop and they seemed so into each other I knew their day would be fun and full of laughter. Hayley and Ryan told me they are the biggest goofballs who love to laugh more than anything, go on adventures, hang out with their two pups and looking to help out the world! It was a pleasure getting to know these two amazing people and capturing their beautiful stylish Brooklyn celebration!
