New York Wedding

Ever wonder what makes a good Sydney wedding photographer? Then look no further than the wedding shots in this entry in the Style Me Pretty blog.

Rachel and George are a couple that is all about family, friends, and unbridled good times.  And they have a lot of all three.  So, when they started planning their wedding, finding a venue that would enable them to entertain their guests without the standard restrictions of a typical event space was at the top of their list.  A space that was also reflective of their modern sense of style, and unique flair for the unexpected, was also a must.  They found both at Locusts on Hudson, a privately-owned home along the spectacularly picturesque Hudson River in Staatsburg, NY. Locusts on Hudson is one of the few properties along the east bank of the Hudson River where the train tracks run behind the property instead of in front of it, allowing for completely unobstructed views of the river.  Equally important to Rachel and George was the fact that Locusts on Hudson, being privately-owned, allowed them to rent the property exclusively for the entire weekend.  This gave the couple the freedom they wanted to create a personal, unique and private weekend-long destination event for their guests, free of pre-determined caterers, bar packages, and – perhaps most importantly for this fun-loving crowd – restrictive time policies, which came in handy as late evenings turned into early mornings.  Multiple guest houses on the property meant that the couple’s entire immediate family, wedding party, and closest friends could all stay on the property, lending an intimate and relaxed vibe to the entire weekend
