Want in on a little secret? The Big Apple may claim most of New York’s glory but head north a few hours and there’s a whole other wonderous world. And these pics by Greg Finck are all the pretty proof you need. This rustic yet elegant affair, planned by Bella & Co., showcases beautiful Skaneateles Lake and these lovebirds that just can’t stop smiling. Fall in love with them – and all of NY – in our Vault here!
From Greg Finck… Sydney and Brian both live in New York City but have spent most of their childhood holidays around Skaneateles Lake, in upstate New York. It was natural that they decided to organize their wedding in this wonderful area, where amazing historical mansions are around the Lake. This is the first time I traveled to upstate New York, but I must say I have been totally seduced by the beauty of the landscapes and backdrops.
Sydney and Brian’s elegant day was perfectly organized and designed by Jenna, from Bella & Co. She was the sweetest person to work with, and she kept a huge smile on her face all day despite strong rain that came to change some of the organization during the summer day. Sassafras Flowers did an amazing job for flowers, especially for the bride’s and bridesmaid’s bouquets. As a photographer, shooting such nuances of pastels were just a dream. Maureen Higgins designed an amazing suite of stationery, totally matching the floral design and color palette of the day.
Even though it rained hard, the sweet couple still decided to keep their ceremony outdoor, behind that giant tree, sheltering them and their guests from that moody weather. After braving the mud for couple pictures, we all headed to Angela’s Vineyard to end the day with a wonderful dinner!
