Whitby Castle Wedding in Rye, NY // Jamie + Fern

Whitby Castle Wedding in Rye, NY // Jamie + Fern

When I think about good days, Jamie + Fern’s wedding day is one of my favorites. I am consistently blessed with amazing clients, and Jamie + Fern were no exception. πŸ’•

Like most weddings I photograph, I reminisce on their wedding day often. When I walked into the suite where Jamie was getting ready, and she said, β€œErica, it’s RAINING,” I shrugged and said, β€œYeah, it is,” because I knew rain never makes for bad pictures - it just adds a little bit more to the logistics. Truthfully, the overcast skies and slight drizzle gave the wedding a feeling of being enveloped; it was like the gray gathered us together and offered us the opportunity to put a magnifying glass on all of the love involved in the day.

It didn't take much for me to realize that Lauren and I would be fast friends from the day that we met. I remember vividly our first conversation over coffee (and omelettes? I think), and having a sense that this girl was one of the good ones...

So, let me just tell you something: Brooke is one of the funniest, most charismatic, and all sorts of hilarious people you could ever hope to meet. There's something about her funny way that is so direct and endearing, you can't help but fall in love with her. I know that's how she first charmed Paul... ;)
