Elena & Hayden, September 3, 2023, The Sablewood at Highview Springs
Elena & Hayden had such a beautiful day over at the Sablewood at Highview Springs in early September. They both utilized their respective Bride & Groom suites to get ready. Elena and her crew all wore really nice silk pjs and fluffy slippers. We even did a fun champagne pop with them out on the deck. After getting in her dress; Elena had a first reveal with her dad. We then moved outside and set up the First Look for the couple. Elena and Hayden saw each other for the first time and then shared private vows with each other. We moved around the Sablewood’s gorgeous property capturing images of the couple. It was a pretty warm day so since the ceremony was set up outside, we snuck into the Charlton Barn to cool off and get some shots in there as well. The couple’s wedding party came out for photos and we followed up with family right after those. Elena and Hayden were married outside, in the round, in front of around 125 guests. They then joined their guests for a wonderful cocktail hour on the Charlton’s patio. Not only was their amazing food by Nicole’s, but guests could play some lawn games as well. The Reception space opened up and Elena and Hayden had their first dance under the Sablewood’s gorgeous chandelier. After dinner, we took the couple up the hill for some AMAZING golden hour shots. We just love capturing the pond and the hills in Schoharie at this venue and golden hour is the best time. These images are stunning. The party got underway when we returned and everyone danced and put on some sunglasses to party the night away. Thank you to Elena and Hayden for choosing Hitlin Photography to capture your big day. Congrats again you two.
