When the light is just right, and all of the careful planning that goes into a wedding neatly settles into all of the predetermined spaces, you get the kind of day that Katie + Chris had for their wedding. To say that it was an exquisite day pretty much hits the nail on the head, and we really couldn’t have asked for more than what we were presented with. We returned near to the location of Katie + Chris’s wonderful engagement session, and were immediately struck by Katie’s gorgeous wedding dress and the beautiful purples in her shoes and her bridesmaids dresses. The purple goodness carried over into their reception and the stunning floral arrangements, and all together it was magical! Chris looked absolutely terrific as well, and he and Katie lit up every frame they were in with an intensity that everyone around them could feel. Like we said, exquisite. Have a look and see what we mean!

Wow! What a day Katie and Chris, you are both so awesome, and we enjoyed every second of your wedding day. We were bummed that it all had to end!

Vicki and I were positively vibrating with excitement putting Jacki + Keith’s wedding teaser together for the blog. Not only are these two smokin’ hot, and totally in love with each other, but they are really cool, down to earth & talented people (Keith is an accomplished musician and manages one of Mario Batali’s restaurants in NY). And a little about how they met for starters, since we loved hearing the story when we originally met with them, and again during their reception – Keith was Jacki’s boss for a period of time, and she must have made quite an impression on him because you will see below just how enamored Keith is with her . The Glen Island Harbor Club is one of our favorite places for a wedding ceremony and reception, and these two pulled out the stops to put together an incredible day. The flowers were amazing, Jacki’s dress looked beautiful (to begin with – Jacki made it look incredible wearing it!), her veil was our favorite and the food was delicious (not only with a full venetian room, but also with fresh pretzels grilled over coals for the guests on their way home, YUM!). It was, to put more succinctly, a charmed day with two rad people surrounded by a whole lot of people that felt the same way about them that we did . Oh, and Keith put his musical talent to use by serenading Jacki with a song he wrote for her in front of everyone at their wedding. Let me tell you, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. How’s that for awesome?

Erik and I were extremely excited to see Karen and Jason again, after their fabulous engagement session for two reasons. One, because we had so much fun with them and loved how sweet they are together, and two, because we were probably going to get to see Bailey and Bianca again! Karen and Jason are two people after our own hearts, rescuing animals and giving them warm and caring homes, and we absolutely loved how the table names represented animals they have loved and cared for . That’s just for starters, by the way – their wedding had it all! Great Danes, their beautiful historic home nestled in amongst the fall foliage in Kensington, vintage pocket watches and wedding gowns, a treat ‘bar” for guests and their pets, and of course the stars of the day, Karen and Jason themselves. Karen looking absolutely gorgeous in her Maggie Sottero wedding gown, and Jason looking dashing in coattails and pinstripes. Their friends and family had a blast, and we did too, capturing all of the wonderful moments in their wedding day!

Karen and Jason, thank you again for the adorable place settings you made for us, and for hiring us to capture such an incredible part of your lives. We love you both and had so much fun being being with you and your friends and families. Having those wedding gowns at your wedding was one of the coolest things we have ever had the pleasure of photographing, and it, like everything else, was uniquely you two

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
