Greenpoint Engagement | Angie & Mike

Angie & Mike, set to wed next year in Mike's native, Poughkeepsie, were the perfect fusion of brains & rock 'n' roll. Both enrolled in advanced degree programs with hopes to change the world, they are perfectly and infectiously in love. So maybe I am biased because Angie is a fellow Californian (909!). However, their choice of wedding venue and desire to shoot at a friend's Greenpoint residence only reinforced their unconventional way. 

Congratulations to you lovebirds Angie & Mike and thanks to the 'cousins' for the outtakes!

Mt. Gulian Wedding | Chris & Kate

I'm sure you remember Chris & Kate's adorable engagement party in Fort Greene this past summer. Yeah, that's right, the one with their delicious dog, Griff? Well he made another cameo at their Mt. Gulian Historical Site wedding last month in New York's Hudson Valley.

Chris & Kate's southern roots were reflected in their down - home menu of (the most delicious!) mac 'n' cheese and brisket, local beers and a homemade dessert bar. And the buck didn't stop there --- instead of a cake, the couple opted for a cookie bake - off to once and for all declare one family chocolate chip recipe supreme. Without fail, the groom's mother emerged winner!

Due to inclement weather, the ceremony was moved from the lawn to the barn where the reception was to follow. Looking at the photos of the impeccable set-up, you can hardly tell this last minute decision was made.

Chris & Kate, you have an unassuming love... one which transcends time and place. Here's to the many years of the story you will write together.
