Love, Love, Love Kerry’s hot pink wedding shoes! You couldn’t even see them until she lifted her dress – then POW – what a great pop of color! Kerry and Keith had a gorgeous warm 4th of July day to celebrate their wedding. Following a traditional Catholic ceremony at St Dennis Church in Beekman, an...
All the details and soft romantic colors that Lauren worked so hard on transformed the ballroom at The Grandview from everyday already beautiful to stunningly spectacular. The soft dusky rose colors perfectly complimented pale champagne accents and white peonies. The uplighting in the ballroom highlighted all the details and brought oohh’s and ahh’s from the...
Diamonds were the word of the day! From all the heavy jewels on Brianne’s gorgeous cathedral length veil, to the 15 carat diamond necklace she wore, the sparkle of jewels were everywhere. A beautiful ceremony at Marist College Chapel was followed by photos on the Marist campus and then an evening of dining and dancing...
The 2010 wedding season has begun! Jennifer and Brett had a beautiful warm sunny day in April for their wedding at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie. This was the perfect start of spring for me. A very touching service was performed by the Rabbi Jonathan Kligler of Woodstock under a chuppah that Brett had made himself. ...

Meghan and Ryan wrote me a little note just after booking me telling me how they had met and how excited they were about their upcoming wedding. It was so sweet and I loved how I had a...
Sherida told me she almost flew off a four-wheeler the night before her wedding. So how perfect was it that the path thru the woods at Vassar was muddy and torn up with atv tracks. Some brides would have said, nope, I’m not going down there. But Sherida was fine with going on and Luke...
It didn’t just rain on Lauren and David’s wedding day. It POURED. There was thunder, there was lightning, it rained sideways, and at one point, I even think it was raining upwards from the pavement. Photo plan A was scrapped, Plan B was scrapped, we went with Photo plan Q I think. I have always...
