Rustic Red Maple Vineyard Wedding Upstate // Haven + Ryan

Capturing Haven and Ryan's wedding day was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the traditional ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic Roman Church in Poughkeepsie, NY to the rustic barn reception at Red Maple Vineyard in West Park, NY, every moment was filled with love, laughter, some breathtaking scenery.

As Haven and Ryan got ready for their big day, they exchanged heartfelt letters. What a great way to start the day! Haven even surprised Ryan with a customized tie clip as a special gift. When it was time for the ceremony, Haven stunned in a white lacy dress with a long cathedral veil, while Ryan looked dapper in a blue suit.

The ceremony may have been traditional but the reception was a different story. The cocktail hour was held on a hill overlooking the Hudson river with stunning views of the vineyard below. Despite the November wedding date, the weather was warm enough for guests to enjoy the outdoor cocktail hour and explore the picturesque grounds.

When it was time for the reception, guests were transported by school bus to a rustic barn with twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling and large windows surrounding, providing a view of the outside. Haven had even made her own small cakes to use as centerpieces for each table, with the table number as a cake topper. It was a unique and personal touch that added to the warm and intimate atmosphere. As the night went on, guests were treated to a s'mores making station with a fire outside, as well as a cigar bar and a weed bar. The make-your-own beignet bar was a hit, with fresh beignets made on-site.

But perhaps the most memorable moments of the day were the romantic, fun, and candid photos that we captured of Haven and Ryan. The couple trusted us enough to let loose and have fun together in front of the camera, resulting in images that were truly unique and creative. From swinging under a large tree to sitting in the leaves and even laying in the grass, Haven and Ryan were willing to do anything for the perfect shot. Their willingness to have fun and be themselves made for some of the most stunning and intimate photos of the day.

As the night came to a close, Haven and Ryan danced the night away with their guests, full of joy and laughter. It was a celebration of love and happiness that we were honored to capture through our lenses. We are grateful to have been a part of such a special day and wish Haven and Ryan a lifetime of love and happiness.
