Jules + JP’s English Garden-Like Wedding
Whenever I get on a call with a potential couple, I always mention that ‘every wedding is unique and different in its own way’. It’s such a generalized statement but its so true. Every couple is different and unique, so every wedding will be different and unique. Jules and JP, as a couple are something special. I will say, their style and aesthetic is truly eccentric to them and typically not a wedding I would photograph. Not because I choose not to, its because I’ve never had the opportunity to! I have actually known this dynamic duo for a bit of time before they got engagement and married so I was able to get to know them on a different level than most. There’s something about them and their love for one another. I see the ‘spark’ in every single couple I photograph but there’s something different about Jules and JP. It’s as if they’ve been connected with one another for many, many years before they even got together. When I’m around them, I get ALL the good vibes and I can absolutely see that everyone that encountered with them does too!
Jules had reached out to me asking if I’d have an interest in photographing their wedding (I mean, for knowing them I was beyond delighted and so flattered but I had to keep my composer, ha!) They do not live in the local area so it would be a bit of a drive - Jules was skeptical it could even happen but as when we were discussing her overall aesthetic, venue location, and overall goal I knew I needed to be the one to photograph her and JP.
Jules and JP were married at a gorgeous english garden-like property that is owned by Mario and Daniel located in Westerlo NY (about 45 minutes outside of Albany NY) called M+D Farm. Just walking onto their property you are transported to a whimsical gardens of greens and wild flowers. Jules dress was custom with a celestial theme and matched her slate blue/gray hair - so unique!! While keeping with the garden theme, Jules wanted a wildflower-like bouquet and I have to say, it went so well! Scroll down for their unique-to-them day!
