A DIY Barn Wedding Upstate New York

I absolutely love DIY weddings - theyre so personal and creative.  And I loved photographing the beautiful barn wedding in Germantown.  It was a perfect day with country flowers, fresh oysters and fireworks.  The dinner and horderves were prepared with fresh local produce (yay!).  The couple was beautiful, and because they had known each other for so long, their friends were all shared friends - they werent her or his friends only, they were completely mutual friends.

What made this wedding more memorable was the fact that I got stuck in a ditch in the parking lot field at the end of the night ... and some of the guys helping me out accidentally locked the car with the keys left in.  Thank goodness for their creativity, they got me back in using wires from a hanger.  Unbelievable!

Windham Weekend

Pics below are from a weekender up north - the atmosphere was chilly and lonely, many of the homes were seemingly abandoned (see below). We drove up on Friday afternoon and hungrily snacked on banana bread and Canadian ketchup flavored chips.   When we arrived in Prattsville Friday evening to check in, I was a lil scared walking up the steps to the front door to try the digital security lock ... especially when someone shouted out "there's a sharpshooter with a gun pointing at you!"

It was Aaron's 30th birthday, so we celebrated with chocolate mousse cake with raspberries!
