Noelle & Tim planned a fall wedding not far from New York City in lovely Garrison, NY at Highlands Country Club.  I was thrilled when we arrived early to scout the grounds (they let us take a golf cart out!)– so much pretty stuff within range, I couldn’t wait to start shooting with the couple.  Noelle had her hair and makeup done prior to arriving so I photographed her details and then on went the dress– Noelle and her mom both got emotional (in a happy way of course) and of course her father was thrilled to see her in it as well.  We took Tim out to a pretty shaded area under a row of big pine trees and faced him away from the building so as to bring Noelle out for the first look… she snuck up and tapped him on the shoulder so he’d turn around!  I love the shot of the hug that followed.  After we went around for some portraits we met the wedding party and family for group shots back on the green next to the club and then got ourselves in place for the ceremony as guests started to arrive.  The weather was so nice, at one point Tim commented that it was like they were having a summer wedding after all, and it’s true!  I swear I’ve had the best luck with weather this year– crossing my fingers this luck continues!  The pleasant temperature didn’t stop us from enjoying a fire in the fireplace (so cozy!) in the ballroom and guests enjoyed the intimate moonlit chairs around a firepit in the yard behind the club… Highlights of the evening included the beautiful, funny, and emotional toasts and of course their amazing SPARKLER EXIT!  So much fun!!!  Congratulations, Noelle & Tim, your wedding was so lovely!
