It was one year ago, during this same weekend, that my fiance and I traveled to rural Pennsylvania to attend our friends' wedding. It was a lovely affair- very simple, on her uncle's farm. Best of all, the weather was perfect, and we camped overnight in a borrowed tent! So fun! So, when the opportunity arose for us to camp out again, the same weekend, one year later for another couple's wedding, we were so excited!
We couldn't borrow a tent this time, since our friend's with the tent were attending the same wedding this year. Instead, we invested in a nice, new tent, packed up the rental car, and headed north of the city. Almost three hours away, and nestled in the Catskill Mountains, the Stone Tavern Farm sits at the dead end of a narrow, winding road in Roxbury, NY. The farm itself is spread throughout a rolling hill and includes a bed and breakfast, a large horse pasture and barn, cows, a goat named Poppy, a bunk house with bunk beds, a very bumpy road that leads to a vast open camping area, a magical barn and pond, and a grand pavilion.
We were extremely nervous about the weather. It had downpoured the last few days. Luckily, it only started cloudy, and quickly became warm, sunny and quite humid, just in time for the ceremony. Our only foe was the gobs of leftover mud. And maybe it was the fresh air, or perhaps it was the picturesque setting... but a little mud didn't seem to bother us at all. Please enjoy these photos of a truly loving and wonderful wedding.
The bride surprised everyone with a entrance atop a beautiful horse! Everyone burst into applause....
The bride forwent riding sidesaddle in her Nicole Miller gown and her Grandmother's wedding day shoes.
The cutest attendee...
Though the couple lives in Brooklyn, NY, their wedding was very rustic and fresh. These gorgeous local flowers were set around the pavilion for cocktail hour, which featured a Mint Julep/Manhattan concoction served in jar glasses...
A beautiful photo op as the sun was setting by the pond...
It's no secret that I love purple. And these gorgeous blooms in square vases, with burlap and thoughtfully arranged votives were just my style!
I am absolutely in love with this accidental photo. Their eerie images are dancing in the dark through the barn, like a ghost couple in love.
