Jessica and Ryan’s wedding at Diamond Mills in Saugerties, NY was equal parts beautiful, emotional and FUN! The Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern is one of those venues that makes me so happy to be a wedding photographer in the Hudson Valley. It is stunning from every angle, it’s views of the Espous Falls make for a unique ceremony backdrop, and being that it’s been recently revived from the 1800’s paper mill that it once was, it’s just cool. Which is exactly why this Brooklynite couple was drawn to it. The warehouse-feel coupled with the upstate quaintness completely suit their style and gave their guests a great weekend out of town. Jess and Ryan’s day began with blue skies and the perfect temperature for August. After being dolled up by Annaliese & Company, the bride’s sister and mother surprised her with a beautiful locket of photos adorned to her bouquet. This rather emotional moment was only magnified when Jess’s dad saw her for the first time that day (cue the waterworks!). While the ladies were composing themselves, good times were being had by the guys in the tavern! After a gorgeous first look and ceremony, the party really got started for these two and their closest loved ones. It was as if all their guests had been waiting for this party for years! Definitely one of the biggest dance parties I’ve ever photographed, seriously, I didn’t want the night to end! Jess + Ryan, your enthusiasm for each other, your family and friends, and for life is so evident in the way you show your love. It was such a joy to photograph and celebrate you!
