Norma-Jean and Shawn’s dream wedding included a little old church and a big ol’ BBQ.

Their dreams came true when they got married in Saint Mary of Snow in Saugerties, and had a tented barbecue reception at Wolff’s Resort.

Norma-Jean wore a gorgeous designer gown and after the first dress switched into a more casual summer dress along with all the guests.

A Brooklyn catering company provided the great food and the cupcakes and wedding cake was from Billy’s bakery. The cupcakes were a huge hit with kids and adults.

It was a great day with lots of laughter, emotions riding high and everyone having a wonderful time celebrating Norma-Jean and Shawn. Congratulations!!!

Motoko from Love in Progress did the video for the wedding.

Katherine and Derek said “I do” on Saturday in Battery Gardens. Families and guests came from Alabama, Europe and even Australia.

Some getting ready and details shots:

Derek helping his dad with the tie, taken by Amy.

Katherine carried her gorgeous Amsale gown from the hotel to Battery Gardens.

Before the ceremony I took some portraits of Katherine and the bridal party while on the other side of the park Amy got some fun portraits of Derek and the groomsmen. Katherine looked absolutely stunning and some tourists even asked her to pose for a photo or two.

All the bouquets and decorations were done very creatively by Beth Emerson from Bloomsday.

Katherine and her dad ready to walk down the aisle. I also love the lifting the veil moment.

The wonderful ceremony was officiated by Katherine’s close friend, Michele and Michele’s mom.

The reception ended with the song New York, New York and the guests formed one large circle to dance.

Katherine and Derek went on a surprise honeymoon. Derek did all the planning for it and it was a complete surprise to Katherine until they got on the plane.

Wishing happiness to a truly special couple.

Jessica and Nathan traveled from Pennsylvania to get married at the Old Field Club on Long Island.

It was a perfect day for a beautiful outside ceremony overlooking one of the many inlets of the Long Island Sound. The color scheme of light blue, tan and chocolate brown carried throughout the wedding party’s outfits, the favors, the cake and the flowers. Jessica personally created the programs, favors, card boxes and wish jars.

I love this photo: Jessica’s mom tying the sash.

While I spent time with Jessica and the girls, my second photographer, Amy took these great images of Nathan and the groomsmen.

Nathan, moments before the ceremony.

The gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces were created by Verbena Designs.

I love how Nathan is looking over at Jessica.

One of the personal touches that Jessica made for the wedding.

Nathan was a great host; he danced with all the kids.

Jessica and Nathan are such a gorgeous couple madly in love and wonderful people – it was a pleasure photographing their wedding!
