Gabby + Mike // A Golden Hour Wedding at The Country Club at Otterkill in Campbell Hall, NY

Oh, it is so hard to put wedding days into words, isn't it? Maybe descriptive cut scenes are better - a mash up of adjectives and nouns to best explain the nuances.

The small, fragile hands buttoning Gabby's gown. The smile you couldn't wipe off her face if you tried. The way Mike read his card from Gabby with such care. The helping hands he was to his groomsmen even thought it was his wedding day. The taste of the end of summer on the breeze at the ceremony, and in the sun as it began to go down after the recessional...

Lori + George // An Elegant Spring Wedding in Tarrytown, NY

I teared up when Lori + George's wedding was over. For real. Happy tears, but also sad tears. Because it was over. Two years of planning. Two years of texting back and forth. Two years of dreaming about this incredible day. I kind of feel like one of my limbs has been cut off without being able to say "xyz number of days left - eeee!" to Lori. It feels a little weird. You see, I have been with these two souls for 24 whole months; they booked me for their fabulous wedding day in 2015, and it has been my absolute joy to walk with them along this path. 

When Lori + George's officiant was offering a small message during their marriage ceremony, he mentioned that these two loves scored the highest anyone could score on a compatibility test during their marriage counseling. Truth be told, it wasn't that surprising. ;) Lori is to George what the sun is to the moon; brightness that is continually reflected between two beings. Their hearts are intertwined in some of the most beautiful of ways...
