They met at a bar. After taking her home Andrew immediately forgot Stephanies name, so she wore a name tag next time. From that beginning one might not have thought that I would be creating their wedding day blog. However, if you see Andrew and Stephanie together for even one moment, you would know that this wedding day was written in the stars. I am so grateful that I was able to join them at Red Maple Vineyard and watch this day unfold.
Andrew and Stephanie chose The Red Maple Vineyard as where they would start their forever. When they reached out to me the exact inquiry said “Red Maple Vineyard had us at beer canoe”. I laughed at that line and immediately hoped that this fun loving couple would choose me. On the phone Stephanie told me about how Andrew had ALREADY been so present with her through some struggles and just how much she loved him for being there for her, I could tell Andrew was a real one. Andrew equally lucked out with Steph, she is physically stunning, super witty and incredibly smart. She is like the list of things a guy would hope for in a wife. Together they make up a fun loving, over the top in love newlywed couple, and I am pleased to give you a peak into their wedding day.
Andrew and Stephanie got married on June 3rd which happens to be my wedding anniversary. Based on this fact alone I can tell you that their marriage is in it for the long haul haha! Every wedding is filled with the proverbial “hustle and bustle”. Steamers are out, hair spray is everywhere and couples anxiously count down the hours until they get to see each other. Stephanie was ready to go get her guy. Under Red Maple Vineyards Maple tree Stephanie strolled towards Andrew for the first time on their wedding day. What a sweet moment. Red Maple Vineyard boasts mountain views, Vineyards, Willow trees, and picturesque swings under trees. The whole place is a romance novel. As beautiful as it is, it does not hold a candle to the way Andrew and Stephanie look at each other.
Stephanie planned such a beautiful wedding that really played well on the blue skies and green rolling hills at Red Maple Vineyard. Over and over again they reiterated that they just wanted everyone to have the time of their life. I am here to tell you that that box is checked. From Ceremony all the way through to the last dance laughter and good times engulfed the hill that Red Maple Vineyard sits on. Stephanie and Andrew, you two were meant for each other and that fact is as clear at the blue of your eyes. I dont know what life has in store for you, but I know you have each other. It was an honor to freeze the most important day of your lives, thank you for being beautiful inside and out.
Stephanie was sent off to go get her guy by a crowd of her own fans! It was the best thing!

Hi there! My fiancé and I are interested in booking you as our wedding photographer! Your work is so beautiful! Our date is June 8th 2024 at Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF). Right now, we have about 110 people on our guest list. The venue is a lovely site that used to be a composition notebook factory. It has a rustic but also modern feel to it. The ceremony will be outdoors close to a small garden that the site has. There are also 2 separate areas for the bride and groom suites, which we intend on using and hope to have some “getting ready” pictures taken as well. We really admire your work and are interested in receiving some more info. Looking forward to hearing from you!
