Cailyn & Drew first met in preschool and years later found their way back to each other for a wedding day that felt completely and uniquely theirs. We were especially excited to celebrate alongside this family again after photographing Drew’s sister’s wedding a few years ago—it felt wonderful to be part of another chapter in their story.

Their wedding was filled with creativity and meaningful details. They exchanged vows in the middle of Cailyn’s family apple orchard, surrounded by breathtaking views and the place that helped shape so many of their memories. On the morning of the wedding, Drew handpicked and assembled her bouquet from flowers grown on the family farm. From her stunning garden-inspired veil to the countless personal touches woven throughout the day, every detail reflected who they are.

And then there were the mothers—the sweetest flower girls imaginable—absolutely stealing hearts as they made their way down the aisle. 🌸

Cailyn & Drew, thank you for allowing us to capture such a beautiful celebration. Your wedding was a perfect reminder that sometimes the best love stories are the ones that have been growing all along. 💕📸🌳🍎

Some love stories seem like they were meant to be from the very beginning. Gabriella & Timothy are incredibly fortunate to have found one another so young & the connection that brought them together feels wonderfully serendipitous. What started with Timothy’s best friend introducing him to his sister-in-law has now ended in their promotions to brothers-in-law. Surrounded by unwavering faith, the love of family & breathtaking forest & mountain views, these two exchanged vows in a place that holds deep meaning to them. Every moment of the day reflected what matters most—love, devotion & the incredible community that has supported them along the way.
Congratulations, Gabriella & Timothy. May your lives together always be rooted in faith, filled with laughter & blessed with countless adventures ahead. ❤️

One of our favorite details from a wedding day.

As guests made their way to the ceremony, they were welcomed by a display so special…framed wedding photos of parents, grandparents, family & friends, each representing a love story that helped shape the one being celebrated.

Beneath the portraits, a simple message read:

“To all the love stories that came before ours… and all of the stories yet to come.”

Such a beautiful reminder that a wedding isn’t just about two people. It’s about generations of love, lessons, laughter, and memories that brought everyone to this moment. And what a meaningful way to honor those stories while beginning a brand new chapter. ❤️✨

Amanda & Austin’s wedding day was filled with so much love, laughter & the incredible support of family and friends.

One of the most unforgettable moments came during the ceremony when it was time to exchange rings…only to discover they had accidentally been left behind in the bridal suite! It’s become such a common wedding “fake out” that everyone assumed it was a joke—until they realized it was very much real. The entire room erupted in laughter, including the bride and groom.

And honestly, what better sign for a marriage than two people who can laugh together through the little mishaps? The joy, grace, and good humor Amanda & Austin showed in that moment said everything about the kind of life they’ll build together.

Congratulations to these two and cheers to a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and plenty of stories to tell. 🤍

We had the privilege of photographing David’s surprise proposal to Kaitlyn, a moment he spent months planning. A little rain tried to make an appearance that day, but nothing could take away from what was unfolding.

Fast forward to their beautiful wedding day at The Thayer Hotel, a venue that perfectly reflected their military and educational backgrounds. The celebration was filled with so much love, but one moment stood above the rest. When David honored his mother, Christine, who passed away last year, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room (including mine)! As if she was reminding everyone she was still there in spirit, another brief rain shower passed through, leaving behind the most breathtaking rainbow.

Congratulations, David & Kaitlyn. What an incredible chapter in an already beautiful story.

Kirsten met Logan while they were in college & from that moment on they began building a relationship rooted in friendship, trust & genuine admiration for one another. They complement each other in so many ways & every person at West Hills Country Club could see it throughout their wedding day. One of the most meaningful moments was their private vows following their first look. Away from the crowd, they shared heartfelt words that reflected the life they’ve built together & the future they’re excited to begin as husband and wife. Congrats!🎉

Katie and Michael attended rival colleges but somewhere along the way, they discovered that love mattered a lot more than school loyalties. With Michael’s family being the owners of The Landmark Restaurant in Warwick, hospitality runs deep in their roots & their celebration reflected that warmth and generosity. Guests gathered at Warwick Valley Winery, where sweeping mountain vistas and endless orchard views created a breathtaking backdrop for an unforgettable reception. From the stunning décor to the joyful moments shared throughout the day, Katie and Michael’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that the best partnerships are built on finding common ground, embracing differences & choosing each other every day.

Congratulations, Katie and Michael! What a wonderful beginning.

When it came time to choose a wedding venue, there was no place more meaningful to Danniel & Michael than Drowned Lands in Warwick, NY. What began as a favorite spot for countless dates became the perfect place to begin their next chapter together. As fellow teachers, they have dedicated their lives to helping others learn and grow. Surrounded by family, friends & a community that loves them, these two celebrated not only where they’ve been but all the adventures that lie ahead. We have no doubt their future will be filled with happiness, partnership, & countless reasons to smile!

The very first words out of this bride’s mouth during the ceremony were “Welcome everyone to Ryan’s wedding” 😂 and honestly, that set the tone for the entire day perfectly.

These two poured every piece of themselves into their wedding day. Disney details around every corner, animals woven in for Danielle’s huge heart as a vet tech, ci**rs and bourbon flowing for Ryan & a dance floor that absolutely never missed a beat thanks to the groom himself being a DJ.

But the moment that had everyone emotional was during their sand ceremony. Ryan, Danielle & each of their children took turns pouring different colored sand into one container, one by one, creating something beautiful together. The hugs at the end said everything. It was not just a blending of sand, it was the blending of a family built with love, laughter & so much heart

Congratulations Danielle & Ryan!
