Shaina and Art are living in Southern California, but flew in for an intimate and beautiful wedding at Le Chambord Inn (Hopewell Junction, NY), this past Sunday.

Surrounded by loving family and friends, they exchanged vows under a hand-made chuppah.  Representing the home that the couple will build together, this marriage canopy was held by a particularly impressive attendant - Grandpa Mo.

We were all so blessed with a reprieve from the cold and enjoyed mild enough weather to shoot outside.

It was a wonderful and magical day.

Ceremony and Reception:  Le Chambord Inn, Hopewell Junction, NY; Flowers:  Lucille’s Floral Design, Fishkill, NY; Entertainment:  Days Gone By

Vicki’s great with that shove. Just stay out of her way ! ! ! ! !

Let’s talk about Bride and Groom Portraits today. Click on the first image to cycle through please..

Vicki and I are open to working with couples who don’t want to see each other before the ceremony. Carolyn and Adam are a good example of what can be accomplished if we can photograph the Brides family and the Bride before the ceremony.

If you want a lot of elegant formal poses as well as family portraits, adequate  time has to be allocated for this. Vicki and I will help you set up a shot list, and help you schedule this part of your day.

Good Luck ! ! !
