elise & neal

elise and neal's wedding marked two weddings in a row that had two other couple's in attendance whose weddings i previously photographed…one of which was the bride's sister. always love the sibling weddings,  and always a fun time to see my couples again and work with the same great families once again. my connection to elise goes even further back… our fathers used to work together back in the 80's.

elise and neal were married back near where i grew up in orange county, ny. elise scoped out a great little spot for some winter photos and we worked tirelessly together to strategize the day so that we would have plenty of beautiful warm, winter light to work with… and it was all worth it…. 

neal was a total natural with the getting ready photos!

credit to elise for finding a great spot for some winter photos...

love this!

jess and joe!

natalie and jeff!

always happy to see my couples still having fun with one another...

i wish i could remember what song everyone is singing to in this picture...

love the laughter...

sisterly love! 

a hot chocolate bar! a perfect winter wedding treat!

elise and neal were able to dodge all the crazy snowstorms we've had this season for a delightfully brisk, sunny winter day! such a pleasure to work with elise and her family again and to meet neal's family and friends! thanks to brian for all his help!
