I loved photographing Rachel & Hayden’s garden wedding at Le Chateau in New York! It was a beautiful summer day to match their absolutely gorgeous wedding! I’ve known the bride, Rachel, since I was little—our families have always been great friends—so it made it really special for me to be able to capture the big day for her! I know she poured her heart into every detail of her wedding day and it showed. I loved the hand-drawn invitations, the beautiful vow books, her color coordinated ring box, and her amazing Louboutin Cinderella shoes! But more important than all the pretty details was being there to capture the moments. I loved watching the couple walk hand-in-hand everywhere they went; tear up over the heart-felt speeches that were given from friends and family; and cling to each other on the dance floor. It was an amazing wedding for two very special people!!
