Two of my favorite trail running people got engaged. I get to be the lucky one who photographs their wedding. Congrats on your engagement, Jess & Aaron! You make the woods even prettier than usual. Can’t wait for the big day!

It was hotter than blazes out for their wedding, but you know what?  That didn’t stop anyone from showing up, loving on Zack and Regan all day, eating sundaes with homemade ice cream from the most amazing ice cream truck ever, or partying up the dance floor.  And it certainly didn’t stop Regan and Zack from having an incredibly special, love-filled wedding day. Such a treat to be there, documenting it all. Congrats R&Z!!

Connor and Jen’s wedding at the 1885 House on private Bear Lake in the Poconos was just like re-living all the best parts of summer camp….but with cocktails. And longer-than-summer romance. And Connor and Jen are the adorable couple that everyone at summer camp wanted to be (plus, they’re also really, really sweet and unique, and completely joyful).
You went to camp, right? In case you didn’t, here’s what I mean: beautiful, giant old lodge houses with mismatched chairs painted all different colors, a surprise ice cream truck, narrow dirt roads, sunshine AND pouring rain, picnic tables and a wooden disc swing right next to the lake, magical stone paths leading down to the water, a huge pitcher of fresh lemonade, tall scrubby grass, singing, walks through the woods, messy ice cream faces, and a dance party with fireworks. It was truly, truly magical, and the exact, perfect, 100% right day for Jen and Connor and all of their sweet crew.
See? Â Just like summer camp. (Except, you know, better.) :)
Ohhhh, this wedding. This beautiful, windy, chilly, wild, Scottish wedding. Set at the bride’s family’s inn on Cazenovia Lake near Syracuse, and filled with all of the best details. Really, friends, the best. Like hand-embroidered, passed down through generations table linens, and single stem flowers in perfect little vases, and the tiniest of tiny vintage brides and grooms strolling through a terrarium next to the cake.
I won’t try to do it justice with more words, just scroll down and enjoy. Alex and Ryan — it was an absolute joy of a day. Thank you so very much for having me and braving that wild wind!
p.s. You two are awfully cute together. :)
p.p.s. Just getting back to blogging here after a LOOOOOOOOooooooonnnnngggg (too long) hiatus, so I’m digging through the archives a bit and will be mixing up some slightly older weddings (like this one) and shoots (that I never had a chance to post) with new ones. This will be all kinds of fun, and you will love it. I promise.
Love, love, love this wedding, set simply and beautifully at the gorgeous Keuka Lake State Park in Keuka Park, NY. Around the Corner Catering barbecued the most scrumptious dinner on-site and the amazing Rochele Lacey of Steuben Design Company was the perfect coordinator for the laid-back day on the water. So happy for Jeniffer and Steven — congrats again you guys!
