Romance, Overseas Love, and a Wedding with a Grand Exit!

When Jennie first emailed my about photographing her wedding, her and Eric were living in Paris and planning everything from overseas.  The next time I chatted with her, they were living in Qatar – and here I am thinking I’m far from home when I’m in Florida!  Needless to say, and with alot of help from Gary Stone of Cornerstone Caterers and the amazing Jeanne Stark of Hudson Valley Ceremonies, their wedding day was everything they had wanted and more.  A beautiful July day with an outdoor ceremony on the lawn of the Wainwright House in Rye.  A wonderful evening of dancing with Metropolitan Music and then the getaway car and a sparkler send off with all their family and friends.  The classic car drive away is just something that nobody seems to do anymore – I LOVED being able to get this photo at the end of the evening!
