I’ve known Rachel and Jacob for years and when they asked me to photograph their wedding, I couldn’t have been more honored. Kind, genuine, gracious, inside-and-out-beautiful are just a few words to begin describing these two. Wubby (aka an object, or in this case a person, that brings one ultimate comfort and ease) as explained by the maid of honor and generous as described by the best man would be a couple more words that perfectly reflect Rachel and Jacob. And I can’t forget angel as crooned by Jack Johnson as the bride floated down the aisle while everyone dabbed tissues to their eyes or best-friend as sang by Queen as the new Mr. and Mrs. made their entrance into the reception… And these are words that characterize the couple on a normal day, so on their wedding day they were absolutely radiating the meaning of all these words.
Beyond my love for the bride and groom, I find myself infatuated with their wedding day vision and how it came to life. It was the perfect mix of organic elegance from the gorgeous flowers by Catskill River Garden and naked cake by The Pastry Garden, to the custom invitation suite by Gina Palmer and Headcase Press, to the here-and-there Anthropologie details, to just the right amount of DIY touches. Their beautiful home in Millbrook, NY lent itself as the perfect setting to start their day. I can picture them for years to come snuggling in their living room, looking towards the staircase and reliving that moment when they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day… Their ceremony and reception was held at the gorgeous and ever-welcoming Highlands Country Club in Garrison, NY. A rainy forecast moved the ceremony indoors to the venue’s solarium which, if you ask me, is the most beautiful setting for a backup rain plan! Rachel + Jacob, I know that you have a lifetime of love and adventure ahead of you and I’ll be following your journey with hearts in my eyes!
I could not have captured this day without my second shooter, Elena Wolfe, whose attention to detail and knack for capturing so much beauty in a single frame is stunning!
