Foxfire Mountain House Wedding in Catskills, New York

Charlotte and Jeff took their guests out of NYC upstate to Mt. Tremper, NY in the Catskill Mountains and to the enchanting hotel and venue Foxfire Mountain House for a weekend of wedding celebrations. During the wedding day guests could choose from activities like a complimentary yoga class or hiking to Kaaterskill Falls before attending the main event at Foxfire Mountain House that evening.  It was a gorgeous Fall day with beautiful foliage, which made it even more beautiful to photograph.

Guests filtered into the mountain house for pre-ceremony cocktails before stepping out onto the veranda to watch the couple tie the knot under a modern chuppah designed and built by the bride's architect father. After the ceremony,  guests could explore the venue's grounds, which included a lily pond and adjoining pavilion. The festivities then moved to the reception tent with a unique Moroccan tiled dance floor! In between dancing to the band the Loyales, guests could enjoy snapping photos in the vintage airstream photo booth and dining on the local farm to table multi course meal provided by Foxfire as well.  Here are some highlights:

A New York City Outdoor Wedding in Fort Tryon Park - The New Leaf Restaurant

When you have a outdoor wedding in Fort Tryon Park, New York City — t's going to be amazing.  Hands down.  Lauren and Eric couldn't have planned it ANY more beautifully.  The weather was perfect, their outfits were perfect-- and the florals for this wedding- everything blew me out of the water.  Lauren and Eric are really down to earth, fun loving, food loving people.  So they really match well with me :)  Their sense of style also really resonated with me as well.  Their wedding favors were mini Tabasco sauces that were entitled "keeping it spicy"!! HAHA! I die.  It was so amazing.

One crazy part of this wedding was wayyy back, when they booked me, they were really excited to tell me about this awesome florist that Eric used to stop by at Brooklyn nearby their home all the time.  But when they moved out of Brooklyn, the florist was so sad about them leaving, she even cried.  They were THAT close to their florist- so now you can see clearly see how awesome these two are.  So when they called her to do the flowers for the wedding-- she was thrilled!  And boy did she create some gorgeous bouquets and decor!  The best part too, is that when I met the florist, Kana (http://saffron-brooklyn.com/) ... I realized we KNEW each other and went to Laguardia (WOOT!) High School together!!  What a small world!

Again, I really enjoyed every moment of this wedding day.  Their families were both so awesome, funny and we shared some interesting moments together in the limo.  I was so happy to be a part of their big day and thankful they wanted me to document it for them!  They had their ceremony right in the park in Fort Tryon and then their reception at the New Leaf Restaurant - It truly is a HIDDEN GEM in New York City Weddings!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the day:

A Wedding Full of Fun at The Green Building in Brooklyn, New York

Lisa and Shane were suchhhh cool people to be around- and their bridal party was also just as inviting and energetic! Everyone was so sweet and made the day an awesome party! We started in Dumbo, getting ready at the Nu Hotel and then headed over to Brooklyn Bridge Park for their first look! After getting portraits there we headed over to Gowanus, Brooklyn to their wedding venue, The Green Building. The ceremony was emotional and beautiful and we ended the night getting down and partying the night away in such a cool space. Check out some of the highlights of our day:
