I got to meet up w/ one of my  couples this past weekend for an engagement session. When it came time to decide on the location for the shoot, they decided to go w/ the place where they were having their wedding, Apple Barn Farm, one of my favorite venues to shoot! So I was super excited about this shoot because I had only shot weddings there, never an e-shoot. And what a beautiful day we had for it!

These two had no problem showing their playful side & let their inner child come out & play!

I think this was my favorite shot of the session! Love it when my couples let loose & have fun!!

I was happy  too that they brought their dog along & included him in a couple of their shots! He is the ring bearer btw, which I can’t wait to see!!

Thank you to Mike & Sarah for spending some time w/ me. I had fun w/ you guys & I’m looking forward to the big day in October!

So I wanted to finish up my post from our last wedding we shot in Pine Plains, NY. It was a gorgeous barn setting the country w/ a very relaxed & quiet feel. We left off @ the reception. Since it was such a warm evening, we let everyone go get a drink & just cool down a bit. Then we snagged our bride & groom away for a few moments alone as newly husband & wife. These two are so adorable together. Of course we had to take as much use of the beautiful barn that was the center of attention @ this wedding site. I just  love a good barn!

Amanda’s gorgeous bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets & boutonnieres were created by Melissa Popp from Hugs & Kisses.

Amanda’s dress was simple, but elegant. I just loved the sheer cap sleeves on this gown! Just gorgeous & perfect for this county style wedding

Our stunning new bride!

The Newlyweds

So as you can see from our images below, the wedding party was far from serious, which always makes for some great photos!

There was a family @ this wedding w/ six children (two sets of twins) that had the most beautiful blond hair & piercing blue eyes. These kids were so cute!

We just loved the red rockers from the image above, that Jesse thought it’d be interesting to use them for our ring shot. I love the red contrast in this photo!

The flower girls were too cute & of course what else do you do when you have a beautiful dress on, but spin around! I remember doing this as a little girl too…it was the best!

The best man gave such a heart warmer & emotional speech. And yes the mush that I am, he even got me teary eyed.

The maid of honor on the other hand, well you can see where her speech was going.

Always love a good father daughter moment. She’s the only daughter w/ two brothers, so this was extra special for them.

Want to thank Kyle & Amanda for letting us be apart of their special day. We had a really great time & felt very welcome. Congratulations!
