Jessica & Stephen, August 7, 2021, Old Daley on Crooked Lake, Averill Park, NY
Jessica and Stephen had a lovely wedding day at one of our favorite venues; Old Daley on Crooked Lake. When we arrived we shot prep shots of both Jessica and Stephen in their respective Bride & Groom suites. The couple decided on a first look, so we set that up outside, and Stephen had some really neat facial expressions before and even after seeing his Bride. You can tell he was nervous, but after seeing Jessica, he kept smiling the whole day. We shot most of the couple’s portraits, wedding party photos, and even family photos before the Ceremony. White Lotus Floral Design created a gorgeous display of flowers over the ceremony arbor and the couple were married in front of about 110 people right beside the lake. The couple then enjoyed their Cocktail Hour while we took detail shots of their beautiful ballroom set up. Everyone made their entrances and the couple danced their first dance to “Conversations in the Dark,” by John Legend. The guests came to have a good time and the dance floor was full for the majority of the evening. After cutting the cake, a dessert station of SWEETS were on display and the couple even had a gelato station for guests to enjoy. We ended the night with some spectacular fireworks as a surprise to the guests outside near the lake. Thanks again to Jessica & Stephen for sticking with Hitlin Photography even after rescheduling their original date due to the Pandemic. We had a wonderful time with you both and so glad you had a beautiful day this August. All the best to you; always.
