FULL MOON RESORT WEDDING: LUCY AND JOE'S FIRST LOOK SNEAK PEAK!

There isn't too much that can be considered more exciting than a "first look" on your wedding day. Ask Joe. As he waited in front of the barn at the Full Moon Resort, he became almost giddy when he could hear his bride's voice behind him. Seriously. It was only one of many endearing moments I enjoyed with this captivating couple this past Saturday.

I hadn't had the opportunity to meet Lucy and Joe before their wedding day, and as I walked with Joe to the spot we had all agreed would be ideal for their first look, I asked him if they were the type that would be fierce and bring it to me. Joe swore that he and Lucy were incredibly fierce and would definitely bring it.



After the excitement of seeing each other for the first time all dressed up and ready to exchange their vows, Joe relayed this information to Lucy, chuckling and admitting that he wasn't exactly sure what that might mean for them! Yet he and Lucy definitely were fierce...



And more than brought it to me.

Again...

And again...

And again!

Stay tuned for more of Lucy and Joe's beautiful destination wedding just outside Woodstock, NY.

MICHELLE AND CALVIN'S HUDSON VALLEY WEDDING

It had rained for days. Not just any kind of rain, but dreary, nasty, I-don't-even-want-to -get-out-of-bed kind of rain. Michelle and Calvin's wedding day was quickly approaching and this weather just wasn't quitting. But these two must have done something right, because on their wedding day, there was not a cloud in the sky. It was bright. It was sunny. And it was HOT!

This was my first time shooting at The Fountains at the Wallkill Golf Club, and the scenery and venue are both beautiful. But not quite as spectacular as the bride and groom, who stole the hearts of everyone on this special day.

Diana met up with Calvin and his guys at the golf course for some pre-wedding shots.











While they were baking in the hot sun, Michelle spent the morning at her mom's house with close friends and family.











As I was taking the detail shots of Michelle and Calvin's wedding rings, Michelle's Grandma pointed out that Michelle's engagement ring features a diamond that has been passed down in her family from generation to generation, and had once been worn on her own hand as a new bride as well.





Once at the venue, last minute preparations were under way...







...and toasts were shared.



And then the festivities commenced!



























Michelle and Calvin... you are awesome! Thanks for letting Diana and I share in your magical day.

Sneak Peak: MICHELLE & CALVIN'S WALLKILL GOLF COURSE WEDDING

I fell in love with Michelle and Calvin on Sunday. Seriously. They are so in love and Calvin, who is the definition of 'machismo,' blew me away me with the romantic gestures he bestowed upon his new wife all through the day. 

Michelle and Calvin, have an awesome honeymoon in St. Kitts. And for the rest of you... here is a small taste of their very special day.
