Fall wedding at Temples Sugar Bush: Codie and Gabe |

This was one of the most elegant weddings I’ve photographed to date. And also the most laid back bride and groom which made my job that much easier. It had been about two years since I had photographed a wedding at Temples Sugar Bush and I had forgotten how much I adore this place. The grounds are beautiful, the indoor space is so warm and welcoming and the food is delightful.

Codie and Gabe chose not to do a first look and instead started their day off with family, signing the Ketubah along with their rabbi.

After taking some time with family, I walked around with the bride and groom to take some photos before guests started to arrive onsite.

Can we talk about how magical this Truvelle dress is?! And side note: this is dress 1 of 2.

The wedding reception was set to start, candles lit and everything impeccably designed thanks to Avant Garde Designs.

Following their grand entrance, the bride and groom took part in the traditional horah dance surrounded by family and friends. Poor Codie was terrified but she took it like a champ!
