It is the greatest compliment to be asked to work with a family again.  I planned Sarah and Nico’s wedding.  When Sarah’s twin sister Katie got engaged, I got a phone call from Katie’s parents and I was overjoyed to be reunited with them to work on planning Katie and Jonathon’s wedding.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Rachel and Jared

Rachel and Jared’s wedding gathered some of my favourite trusted wedding professionals, so when mother nature decided to send us some good luck rain, I walked into the day feeling very confident that we would create a spectacular celebration for them.  Fourteen Forty created a one of a kind invitation suite that combined Rachel’s mom’s love of engraving and Rachel’s love of watercolour illustrations.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Ariana and Dan

A little rain did not dampen the good spirits for Ariana and Dan’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding!  We had a rather cold April week, so we had been planning to be indoors anyway as the temperatures were hovering in the low to mid 50s.  Our photographer Elena Wolfe knows Blue Hill at Stone Barns inside and out, so she knew all the good little covered nooks where we could keep Ariana and Dan relatively dry for portraits.  She arranged for the first look in the manure shed, which is always setup so beautifully.

Andrea and Brett’s wedding day on April 1st started out a little rainy, but thankfully it cleared up in time for their arrival and portraits around the grounds with Dave Robbins Photography.  Andrea was absolutely stunning in Danielle Frankel.  A raised cowl neck, bias cut silk wool sleeveless gown with an open back and scarf draped accent.  She carried a bouquet of white and green hellebores, which were exquisite in their simplicity.  Brett work a boutonniere of lily of the valley.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Megan and Jodie

Megan still remembers the first time that Jodie took her to Stone Barns in Tarrytown.  They explored the farm and the adjoining state park.  Jodie casually mentioned that if she ever got married, it would be at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  When she proposed, it was a no brainer for them to get married there.  Megan and Jodie’s idea for the wedding was on the non-traditional side.  The best way they described it was a wedding with all the boring parts taken out.  They did not plan on having a ceremony and eloped in Central Park in August instead.  They wanted to have an awesome party with their family and friends.  None of the typical formality involved in weddings.

Angela and Utsarga had a double wedding weekend in early October.  The invitation by Suite Paperie included 2 separate invitation cards for each celebration enclosed in a vellum wrap with some dramatic floral prints.  I particularly liked the combination of fall inspired colours incorporated into the suite, especially the terracotta envelope with a toast velvet liner.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Randi and Evan

Due to covid, Randi and Evan decided to have an intimate wedding with family two years ago and planned a bigger party in 2022 at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  It was on their 2 year anniversary to the date.  They named it a “We Do” Re-Do.  Paperfinger illustrated their save the date with Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  Katie Fischer Design created their invitation suite which had a painting of their dog Dipsea on the liner, which I absolutely adored.  Since they already took a lot of wedding portraits in Randi’s wedding gown 2 years ago, she decided to wear a different dress for their portraits around Blue Hill at Stone Barns with Allan Zepeda.

Oheka Castle Wedding: Wani and Oscar

They got married in the formal gardens in front of an arbor incorporating florals and the most beautiful smoke bush.  Wani and Oscar had written their vows in both English and Chinese.  During their first look Wani read and translated her Chinese vows to Oscar so he would know what they mean when she said them during the ceremony.  It was a very personal and meaningful ceremony officiated by Rev Annie Lawrence, with music by Luminous Sounds.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Sarah and Nico

I started working on Sarah and Nico’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in 2019. Unfortunately, COVID got in the way, so they had a micro wedding in her parent’s backyard on their original date and postponed the party to the following year. Who would have known we would need to reschedule another year ahead? During that time they were blessed with a beautiful baby daughter. It was with great joy that everyone came together in June 2022 to celebrate their marriage and the newest addition to the family!
