Joseph & Morgan

Although we are absolutely in love with Tennessee, when we travel back to NY for weddings I truly hope to have the opportunity to shoot at The Sinclair in Skaneateles again. We’ve been here twice and I don’t believe it could ever get old! The ceremony area is well lit by large windows allowing for the gorgeous natural light to flood most of it. There is a small stream that flows behind the property and the bridal suite is one of the most picturesque I’ve ever seen. Joseph and Morgan were absolutely mesmerized by each other and it shows!

Kingsport has been treating us well with plenty of wide-open space for our dogs and “mini farm” we’ve started. Yes, mini farm. Complete with as many eggs and as much goats milk as we could possibly use, the time Heather and I aren’t shooting or editing is often spent tending the garden or caring for our now quite vast array of animals. The Tennessee weather has us swooning! Although we miss the snow occasionally, I don’t miss moving it! Hopeful for a couple winter weddings to bring us back to snow country!

The Move To Tennessee

WE MADE IT! After months of living in a “tiny home” rental to prepare, as of November 2021 we are comfortably situated in Kingsport, Tennessee. Offices fully functional, gear ready for travel again, and even have the “homestead” growing with goats, chickens, and even a couple barn cats. Don’t get me wrong, there were SO many things we loved about NY. However, I will also say that the move was most certainly a good choice. The weather is incredible, wedding season is basically year-round, and the growing season for our garden is significantly extended. Things down here just seem slowed down. People seem generally more kind, less “busy,” and less rushed. Peaceful.

We are extremely excited to see what new relationships we will find and to start working alongside other vendors in this area. Of course, we are also VERY excited to meet all the new couples, families, and friends we will get to help by documenting their special days. Not to worry to all of our NY friends and colleagues, we have been hired to fly back to NY several times this year! So very excited to see everyone we possibly can (while not filming of course)!

That being said, before leaving NY, I was able to be a part of Stephen & Elizabeth’s BEAUTIFUL wedding day. Here’s a little peek:
