The love and connection at this wedding could be seen in the air. The day started off rainy and windy, this odd little pocket surrounding the farm, we had beautiful skies on our drive up from Philly until we reached the Farm. I like to think we brought the blue skies with us because the skies cleared and it was a gorgeous day, colder than we all could have requested but gorgeous none the less. The area up in the Catskills is beautiful and the grounds of the Stone Tavern Farm are breathtaking. It suited Katinka and Nelson perfectly.

Some of the getting ready environment.
Katinka’s dress had these wonderful sash’s. They added these amazing pops of color that flowed beautifully.
Nelson, so handsome.
Ready to see Nelson!
Such a sweet first look.
Their ceremony gave me chills. It was so beautiful. Their love of each filled the room. 
Beautiful Ceremony.


Love this gang of bridal party members.
There were a lot of great moments captured.

This reminds me of a painting!! Beautiful.
We snuck out with Katinka and Nelson for some quick portraits, braving the cold and wind.
My ultimate favorite
You would NEVER guess Katinka was six months pregnant would you? Her dress was amazing.
I love this image of Katinka’s dad.
Katinka’s good friend from Germany made their wedding bands for them. I loved them, so beautiful and meaningful.
It was a great party!

There was a special fireworks show to reveal to Katinka, Nelson and their guests the sex of their baby!
There was supposed to be three fireworks set off to get everyone’s attention and then either a red or blue set of fireworks to reveal boy or girl. It was slightly confusing at first, the colors seemed to be mixed. leaving everyone unsure. Nelson called down to people setting off the fireworks to get confirmation and then announced that they were having a baby girl!!! It was such a an awesome moment for them to share with all of their beloved family and friends.
Friends doing bad gestures for the camera!!! But I love it non the less.
And because on this date last year we were all together , me documenting and Katinka couching Emily and Navid to bring their baby girl Laila into this world. It was a wonderful reunion and a new reason to celebrate with Katinka’s marriage to Nelson and the upcoming birth of their own little girl. I adore all of you so much. I feel so lucky to have clients I care so deeply for. I’ve made many great friendships. Last but not least the slideshow! A must watch with Nelson’s music to bring back the feeling we all had on their wedding day. Congratulations you two!
