She's an east coast girl, he's a west coast guy.  Nicole was born and raised in Westchester, New York and moved to San Francisco, California in recent years where she met Nick!  The two live in San Francisco together but decided to tie the knot at Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown, NY in early June.  The two were married in front of an intimate group of family and friends with views that overlooked the Hudson River!  The weather was perfect that day, with the most beautiful golden light that poured over their guests during cocktail hour at sunset.  

They started their day together with a romantic and emotional First Look.  Nick gushed over his gorgeous bride when he turned around after she tapped him on the shoulder!  We photographed their portraits in the beautiful gardens behind the hotel, then whisked Nicole away before the guests arrived.  Their ceremony was short and sweet, focusing on the most important parts of why everyone gathered together!  They exchanged their vows and were pronounced husband and wife in a matter of minutes, allowing them to enjoy the last of the sunset with their guests during cocktail hour.  Later that evening Nicole's sister and Nick's brother, the Matron of Honor and Best Man, gave wonderful toasts which had the ballroom filled with laughter!

Congratulations Nicole and Nick!  Wishing you both much love and happiness for years to come!

I loved this sweet moment between Nicole's mom and her two daughters!

Nick had a wonderful reaction when he saw his bride at their First Look!

Look at those smiles!

I adore the way Nick looks at Nicole!

Doesn't Nick look like he belongs in GQ Magazine?

Isn't she one of the cutest flower girls you've ever seen?!

Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs!

The Castle Hotel & Spa boasts views of beautiful sunsets and the Hudson River.  One of the many reasons I love shooting weddings in the Hudson Valley!
