Hotel Du Village Wedding – Sarah and Tim, Newhope PA
Once in a blue moon we get a winter wedding that knocks the socks off anything the summer has to offer. A new year’s eve, eve wedding in fact! We met Tim and Sarah over drinks this past fall, and I’m so happy we got to join them on their big day. The family, friends, and love filling every square inch of this day make me happy beyond measure.
Jon + Kate – Hudson Valley Wedding, Shadow Lawn, High Falls, NY
I found myself in Brooklyn last night, eating dinner at the restaurant Jon and Kate opened the same week of their wedding last year. How you plan an event like this and open a new business within 7 days of each other, I have no idea. I think the secret lies in great friends and family… and maybe a private jet?
Shadow Lawn is one of those wedding venues that you think Martha herself dreamed up. Combine this with the October air and a room full of creatives, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a party.
Karl & Nicole, The Roxbury Barn Wedding, Roxbury New York
Karl and Nicole had a wedding day that’s gonna stick with me for a while. Forget the rain. Forget the fact that I had to run up and down the quarter mile hill on the property no less than ten times, and forget the fact that there were spiders in my camera bag.
Even though I feel like best friends with everyone on their wedding day, there’s always a few things you find out for the first time. On this particular day, I learned how unbelievably perfect these two people fit together. The morning that day was hectic, as usual, and the rain clouds were rolling in. The reception had to be moved inside, and I saw Nicole’s smile start to fade as she waited for her groom. The minute they saw each other, all of the nerves fell aside and I saw the happiest bride in the world.
I saw two best friends.
