Onteora Mountain House Wedding

We had the honor of working for Claire and Kevin at the Onteora Mountain House this past weekend. This wedding was truly an inspiration to us. Everything was so laid back, relaxed and most of all... fun!
The theme (which was understated) was the 1920's. From the brides dress to the invites to the place cards and music, you could see the theme running through all of the details. I'll be posting some of those soon. Also my friends, Photo Booths ARE FUN! (see below)





The fabulous music was provided by Michael Arenella

(Below Michael and Rachel were married in February. The temperature that day was about 25 degrees) Their wedding story was featured in the New York Times. You can see it here

(The brave couple below got married in December under the Tree at Rockefeller Center. It was about 30 degrees.)

During the winter I normally travel to "warmer" areas to shoot, but I would rather not. I have this little issue with flying..... Anyway, the months of November through April I am offering a special package to all the couples daring enough to get married in the winter. Personally I feel, the way the weather has been this year, the winter weather is the only guarantee that it won't rain. Snow is so much more tolerable. (And pretty)

Send me a message if you would like more info. This option is offered in the Hudson Valley and Greater Metropolitan Area. Stay Warm!!!
