Katie and Derek’s beautiful wedding at the Broadmoor was a joy to photograph!  Danielle from Entwined Planning coordinated the day beautifully, our beloved Dawn from Hillside Consultants had rocked the flowers, and Randy made the party swing!

Katie had a number of thoughtful touches during the day–one of which was sewing a bit of her mom’s wedding dress into her dress along with the date.

The weather held up for the beautiful outdoor ceremony.

Immediately after the ceremony the skies opened and the wind arrived and we had to move our portrait plans inside.  In a stroke of luck, though, the weather eventually improved enough for us to dash outside for the last ten minutes of the cocktail hour for some outdoor portraits.

You know a wedding reception at the Broadmoor is going to be stunning, and this one certainly didn’t disappoint!  It was also notable for us as the only wedding reception we’ve seen where the man who caught the garter and the woman who caught the bouquet were a couple!

It was an honor to photograph Katie and Derek’s stunning wedding.  We wish them much happiness!

Hayley and Devin have to be one of the most fun couples in the world.  They are so playful together, and as they go off on their next adventure I can’t imagine the fun they will have!  Their day of coordinator, the super adorable Elizabeth of Elizabeth Bradford Designs, kept everything running smoothly and beautifully!

I photographed their rehearsal dinner, which is always a wonderful opportunity to get to know the couple’s family before the wedding day.  They are so sweet and welcoming, and had arranged for the coolest catering I’d ever seen–a portable wood fired pizza oven (from Basic Kneads) with what had to have been the most delicious vegan pizza in the history of forever.  It was VERY cool!

Hudson Gardens is such a stunning spot for wedding portraits, and Monet’s Place is my favorite section of the gardens.

I was excited that their ceremony was at Monet’s Place.  It’s so lush and green!  Immediately after the ceremony they stole off for a couple of minutes together, and their walk away from the ceremony and moments alone couldn’t have been more pretty to shoot!

Instead of a cake, Hayley and Devin had beautiful (and delicious) wedding cookies.

If I could clone Meryl and Dan and see them every weekend of wedding season, I would.  These two were so easy to work.  They’d done everything they could to eliminate stress from the wedding day, from Meryl’s decision to get ready with just her and her mom, to their non-first-look, first look.  Here’s how it went: I was working on shooting the rings, I heard Meryl casually say something like “hey honey, you look great,” I turned around, and there was Dan!  They had taken the production side out of the wedding which made for such a sweet day and gave me a glimpse at how grounded their married life will be!  We wish them so much happiness and are so grateful to Melissa and Dustin for recommending us!
