August Hollow Brook Golf Club Wedding in Cortlandt, NY // Tara + Stephen

When I think about Tara + Stephen’s wedding day, it’s all lace and smiles and laughter and comfort. It’s Tara smiling at Stephen to keep him comfortable. It’s Stephen responding to her offers of comfort with his sweet easygoingness.

It’s a beautiful August day, and it’s all kindness and ease…
