Kristel and Silas invited me to photograph their beautiful and fun wedding at Astor’s Beechwood. I loved Kristel’s vision for the ballroom. There was great details, flowers and candles everywhere! Kristel is so creative and designed her own menu cards, invitations & programs. Check them out! They are amazing! What an inspiration. We had a great time! I’m excited to start work on their album.

Kristel’s mom helping her with jewelry. I couldn’t get enough of Kristel’s parents, as you will see as we go on….

I love damask prints! I found this pretty print on wrapping paper on a gift in the hotel room.

“Becoming THE BRIDE”


Kristel’s dad seeing her for the first time. Beautiful moment!

KRISTEL HAS SUCH BEAUTIFUL, EXPRESSIVE EYES!

Silas, our fun loving groom!

Pretty details. Beautiful work from Stoneblossom, as always!

Kristel worked on all the programs, menu cards and invitations herself! Silas toasted his beautiful bride and told a story about Kristel driving 2 hours to the next Michael’s location when the local store ran out of her teal paper. That’s dedication!




UPLIGHTING!

Kristel’s beautiful invitations! What great attention to detail!

I’m pretty sure Kristel made the placecards too….so many beautiful paper details!

Amber uplighting looks gorgeous in the vintage Astor’s Beechwood Ballroom!



Oh Stoneblossom….how I love your work!!

Kristel’s menu cards. The gold accents on the cake looked stunning with the amber uplighting and the golden detailing in the ceiling. Kristel’s vision for the room was just so lovely.

The big finish to their choreographed first dance!

Kristel’s sweetie-pie parents….I loved photographing them!!!! Their love and chemistry just shines through the photograph.


A great toast to the couple by Kristel’s dad!

Kristel’s parents again….I told you I couldn’t get enough of them.

Amy & Brad were married in early July. (I know, I know…I fell off the blogging bandwagon again. Sorry everyone! So many great weddings, such little time!) Brad is a firefighter with my dad, so all of us were instantly bonded! It’s always fun to know a whole bunch of people at the wedding too…it makes the dancing pictures extra entertaining!

Amy & Brad had beautiful blue details with little hints of feathers! The kids table was especially my favorite. The weather held for us. During the outdoor ceremony, everyone was a touch nervous as we were seated in Blithewold’s lush North Garden and heard thunder roaring in the distance. We got through the ceremony dry, and even a giant group picture of everyone. And then, during the end of cocktail hour, a giant blanket of rain swept across the ocean, the lawn and towards us on the terrace of the mansion. You could literally see this giant wall of raining moving towards you….it was pretty amazing. I’d never seen something like it!

Amy’s daughters were such a delight! They were posing for me all day! You’ll see their wild dancing too! I want to bottle up that youthful energy into a juice drink or something…oh yeah…it’s called Red Bull!!!! =) Ok, enough rambling from me! Onto the “pix”!

Brad designed their wedding monogram! How great is that??? What an involved groom!

Amy’s mom!

I was so excited to finally make a few pictures with the signature Blithewold bamboo!


Amy’s sweetie-pie daughters! When Brad and Amy visited me for our consult, Amy made me cry! She told me about how Brad proposed to her and then gave Carley and Natalie diamond stud earrings. So sweet!!
Love those mature willow trees. So gorgeous.


Amy’s dad giving her away….


Feathers at the kid’s table!

The girls checking out the cake


A very unconventional first dance! It started with Etta James’ “At Last” and then cut into “Baby Got Back” and then back to “At Last”. They have some great moves!!! The crowd was crazy for it!

The wild dancing I promised you….love the hair!
