Maya + Binit: Interfaith Mountain Wedding
Maya and Binit's Hindu-Christian fusion Wedding took place in the forest and fields of Montfair Resort Farm. The bride got ready in a sweet little cabin surrounded by her bridesmaid who sported their choice of floral gowns. Maya's gown was custom made to include special fabrics- a sari she had chosen, and lace from her Grandmother's wedding dress. Binit came dressed in a traditional sherwani for their first look. The two shared a sweet, tearful moment on the porch of the cabin. Then, Binit was whisked away for his Baraat- a traditional Indian groom's procession leading to the ceremony. The ceremony began with the groom walking down the aisle with his parents, followed by the bride walking down the aisle with hers. Led by Claire Frances- an interfaith minister- their ceremony included elements from both traditions- readings, meditation, blessings, and vows. After the ceremony was done and family photos taken, the couple joined their guests for a picturesque lakeside cocktail hour. Dinner took place inside the lodge as did heartfelt toasts, spirited dancing, and a joyful cake cutting. Maya and Binit's love for eachother is so apparent, and they brought together such an incredibly beautiful and diverse community to celebrate it. Congratulations Maya + Binit!

CHLOE + THOMAS: MODERN BROOKLYN WEDDING AND EPIC AFTER PARTY
Chloe and Thomas were married on a beautiful October day in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Their wedding day was an incredible gathering, bringing together their families from opposite sides of the country. On top of that, Chloe and Thomas had spent a year apart while Chloe was working on her Phd abroad. Guests gathered at AURORA, where Chloe and Thomas walked down the aisle hand in hand, surrounded by a magical ivy garden. Immediately after the ceremony, the reception was full of cozy embraces, laughter, and cocktails. Later that evening, festivities continued at the lively, Threes Brewing in Gowanus. Thomas- a musician rocked a song to Chloe just prior to the spirited cake cutting. The party continued with the power house Fruit x Flowers. This unique celebration was a dream to photograph. Cheers to Chloe and Thomas!!
ALICIA + ANTHONY: INTIMATE SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE WEDDING
When Anthony and Alicia asked me to photograph their Maine Wedding I was thrilled because it contained two of my favorite elements; it was like an elopement in the size, and by the sea! The two were wed on September 9, 2018 at the tiny All Faiths Chapel in South Portland, Maine. The whole day seemed like a romantic wedding of the past where everything was quaint, walkable, and beautifully simple. The groom and his family waited for the bride at the small chapel by the sea. Anthony's father gave Anthony a pocket watch that has been handed down from father to son for four generations. Alicia and her parents arrived, and without any pause the procession began!
The ceremony was performed by her sister, and 15 close family members were in attendance. After their vows were said and families hugged, Anthony and Alicia walked down to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse to enjoy their first moments as a married couple. A double rainbow appeared without any rain (locally), which was incredible! The All Faiths Chapel had a little stained glass window with a rainbow over them as they were wed, so it seemed like magic was just following them. The two then took a little scenic walk over to their elegant reception dinner at North 43 overlooking the harbor. The night was filled with lively conversation, delicious food, and candle light. Their South Porltand wedding was so incredibly intimate and ideal; everything flowed with joy and ease. Congratulations Alicia and Anthony!
