Wedding of Anna & Jed (Kaaterskill Inn in Catskill, NY)

Another gorgeous bride and groom, whose wedding I couldn’t wait to shoot. Anna has such a classic beauty that makes photos look like photojournalistic video stills when she is in them.

Makeup. The wedding was held at the Kaaterskill Inn in Catskill, New York. The place is so gorgeously quaint. I thought it matched Anna and Jed’s style perfectly.

Anna and Jed met at a dinner event of some sort about 5 years ago. Anna… Jed? Did I get it right?

Flower girls going down the stairs. I asked them where they were going to get their attention and get them look up. I never tell people to smile. The last thing I want to do is elicit fake smiles, especially from kids.

A candid of a candid : )

Groomsmen. Funny, goofy, and happy bunch of “chaps”. I feel the need to use “chaps”… maybe because they had a slightly British vibe about them?

For this wedding I brought one of my favorite lenses.. the fisheye. Scroll down for more fisheye pictures!

The vows were written by the bride and groom. They were really warm and cute.

And funny.

I love the shots of newlyweds walking away from the altar. I think at this moment they are the most happy and I am the least noticed, which is what it’s all about.

Fisheye! What I did know about shooting a wedding in Catskill NY was that the views would be absolutely stunning. What I didn’t know is that I would freeze to near death and be sick for the next week. Photographers… pack your sweaters before going anywhere. Even in the summer. Serious.

Champagne with family.

Ummm.. some game that I should know the name of but don’t. Anyway, I liked how the sticks were scattered in this perfect mess.

The post-wedding shine.

Even the bathrooms were cute at this place.

Bands and string lights really go together… like tahini and lemon juice.

Cuuuuute caaaaake.

Jed’s brother dancing with HIS new wife. (I believe their wedding was a mere 3 weeks before Jed and Anna’s).

I don’t think the children ate much. At least I saw them playing throughout pretty much the whole course of the wedding.

Maid of honor speech.

THE…. I mean THE cutest party gifts I’ve ever seen. Maybe because I just love plants.

And as always… please don’t forget to visit the more complete music slideshow. It has one of their favorite singers as the background music and everything : )

Guests having fun.
