making your own wedding bouquet

I am a huge fan of handmade elements of a wedding and I have had the pleasure of photographing many of these at weddings I have been in the role of capturing. This last Fall I photographed Tricia + Ariel's amazing Berkshires Massachusetts wedding and when she told me that she put together the flower bouquets, I thought she was kidding. They were gorgeous, straight out of a magazine. Pinks, purples + blues with complimentary baby's breath buds and wrapped with simple ribbon, hers with an accent of lace. I have enjoyed reflecting on their wedding while editing the photographs and thought I'd share some pretties where a bride makes her handmade diy bouquet look more than effortless!

bearsville theatre woodstock ny wedding of melissa + dan

Melissa + Dan are just an absolutely extraordinary couple that I had the utmost pleasure of working with on August 18th, where they had such a beautiful day (fitting to their beautiful personalities) in Woodstock NY at Bearsville Theatre. They are both musical people so everything about the location and what they had in store for the night (their friends performing live music + their own lovely and incredibly sweet version performance of "You are my sunshine", along with many other personal touches) was all just so on point with who they are and what they are all about. I loved everything about their wedding day and I love everything about them! They are the warmest of souls with love for each other that is absolutely timeless. This is just a sneak peek but I am excited to share it with the world and can't wait to re-visit all of their special moments when I edit the rest!

Such a big, big congratulations to the amazing Melissa + Dan!!
