An Intimate Summer Wedding in Upstate NY


Hi Friends! truly feels like forever since I sat down to blog a wedding! but surely feels good! Meet Aaron + Marisol! my first Reddit couple! yup you heard right! Aaron came across my work from a Reddit subform dedicated to wedding photography, needless to say I was shocked I never invested more time in this forum! a very underrated space to interact with couples, anywho, Aaron reached out, we exchanges a couple of emails and phone calls and eventually they decided I was the right fit for them and hope I didn't disappoint as I was super excited to document their wedding day! their venue was Friends & Neighbors at Audrey's Farmhouse; a chic cabin like space near New Paltz NY, I'm so used to commuting long distances into the city to shoot weddings that shooting so close to home truly made this a treat for me! I was sooooo happy!

A chic, modern, laid back 6 hour day with a super fun couple was the perfect jumpstart to kick off my new chapter in wedding photography! Thank you Aaron + Marisol for taking a chance on me and I hope you and your friends enjoy this blog post!

Venue : Friends & Neighbors
