I originally met this couple last summer when I was so pregnant, my stomach entered the door about a minute before the rest of my body did.   We shot their engagement session last fall at Lake Minnewaska.   That day was such a blast, all we did was goof off, play in some really cold water and laugh throughout the whole session.  Now here we are, they are married and I now have a 9 month old, and we are still laughing.  I know it goes against wedding tradition, but this bride and groom did a first look, when the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the wedding.  I have to say, I love the first look.  We had 2 hours for wedding bridal photos, more goofing off and relaxation time before the wedding even began.  After the ceremony, the are about 20 minutes of family photos and the bride and groom have plenty of time to enjoy their cocktail hour.

Going into this wedding, I knew I was working not only a fantastic couple, but my “Dream Team” as well.  I Do Movies, laV Beauty and DJ Bri.  It isn’t really work when you are making art and hanging with good people at the same time right?   Although dark clouds hung out through the day,  there was not a drop of rain was to be seen.  The wedding itself was beautiful and one of my favorite parts of the day was when Jenn and Mike walked  down the isle and I got the first hug from.  I love the relationships I have with my clients.

To Jenn and Mike, thank you so much for having me be such a part of your beautiful day. The story doesn’t end here for us, bring on some babies!!
