Wedding: Kate + Erik | The Grandview, Poughkeepsie, New York

So, what do you get when the bride is a meteorologist and the groom is a sportscaster?  If you guessed a little rain and a lot of TV people as guests, you are right!!  So much fun and so appropriate.  Poor Kate - she couldn't help but keep checking the weather all day :), but there was no one better suited to help her with the forecast for the day!  We started out dry during the first look, hit a little snag down at the docks with a downpour, then it let up for some family pics and then started up again for the ceremony.  But, Kate, along with her weather friends, watched the radar and made a plan - start the ceremony a bit later and move the cocktail hour back a bit, the good people at the Grandview were in, and it worked!  No rain during the outdoor ceremony!  Woo hoo!  These guys were awesome and we were happy to get soaked in the rain for them.  Enjoy all of your photos guys!!



Love this shot of their first look.

Check this out - they took a selfie before walking down the aisle! I took the liberty of snatching said selfie from their facebook page :)

I don't post family shots too often, but I love these two.

Love these - garter on a football!

Wedding: Kim + Anthony | Oceanbleu, Westhampton Beach, New York

Prepare yourself.  The photos below might, just might.. cause wedding envy.  I have been waiting for this wedding all year because I just had a feeling that it would be right up my alley.  And, now it has taken me a few extra days to put this post together because I am beyond in love with these photos and the whole trip. I just could not pick what photos to post - destination weddings are so awesome and fun!  Everything was perfection.  Kim and Anthony are so great and the wedding was completely infused by their personal style and the location.  Beachfront access, perfect weather, great crowd of guests, anchors everywhere, bonfire!, pink reception dress, sunset at the docks - all that I could ask for!

Kim and Anthony - it was our pleasure to photograph your day.  We hope it was as amazing for you as it was for us and please enjoy the (many) photos below! There are so many more to come!!

(I also want to give a quick shout-out to the amazing venue, Oceanbleu, and the AMAZING band (as usual), Hank Lane Orchestra)
