Sacha & Michael, June 3, 2023, Greywacke Meadows, Cropseyville, NY
Such a fun day back at the beginning of June for Sacha and Michael’s big day at Greywacke Meadows. Michael and his groomsmen arrived doing a sports-like entrance. Then we were introduced to Moose; their dog. He is a giant fuzz ball and such a sweet boy who was part of their whole day. Sacha and her girls got ready in the farmhouse, while to boys got ready in the barn loft. Sacha’s daughter was on hand to help her mom and after getting dressed, the bride had a beautiful first reveal with her dad. We did the Bride and Bridesmaid photos quickly outside before it started to rain and then moved to the barn to finish up. Once she was inside, we brought out the Groom and Groomsmen and did their photos under cover as well. We had such a great team and we all put our heads together looking at the weather apps and coming up with various different plans for ceremony. It was decided to wait it out a little and then we all pitched in to dry off wet seating and handed guests additional linens to sit on and the couple had their ceremony outside. The sun shined down as these two were married and there were some emotional parts to the service; including a switch to the Groom’s grandfather’s ring and a vow ceremony with the Bride’s daughter. As guests proceeded to cocktail hour, we did the wedding party and family shots before working our way to couple portraits. These two are easy to photograph and we got some beautiful stuff. The Reception hall was decorated with lanterns, candles and fabric designed by Bashes. Enthusiastic Entrances, a first dance and parent dances led to fun speeches and then it was party time. The dance floor was packed all night. We ended with the couple’s private last dance and sparkler send off. Congrats again to Sacha and Michael. It was such a blast photographing your big day. Wishing you much love.

Mike surprised Sacha by switching his ring with his grandfather’s for her to place on his finger. It was a beautiful moment.
