adam & susie's wedding at the queens county farm photography!!

i shot an awesome wedding over the weekend. it was at the queens county farm http://www.queensfarm.org/ i had never been there before and can't believe it exists in nyc. it's the perfect setting for a wedding and comes with chickens, sheep, peacocks, goats, cows, baby....yes, that's right...baby pigs and hayrides to boot.. adam & susie (the couple) had a pretty laid back approach to things. the bride planned the wedding with no help from a planner and her mother ute made all of the flower arrangements, decorated the pavilion where the ceremony was held and even lined the path to the pavilion with handmade flowers. the bride's brother laurence did a beautiful job officiating the ceremony and the bride even made her own dress. i've never seen such a successful diy wedding. they also had a "barty" after the reception which was way cool because it had a completely different feel than the wedding....think 30's swank. the huckleberry bar http://www.huckleberrybar.com/ where the "barty" was held is in williamsburg and is one of my favorite places to get a good cocktail. i mean a for real good cocktail. this is a topic that gets me a little heated. i was the first person to jump on the "cocktails" train when the trend to return to it began and i'm still on board with those of you who do it right. BUT just because you throw st. germain in a drink a cocktail it does not make. AND if you make whatever it is with triple sec or sour mix you should give it up. take a cue (or is it clue?) from the guys and girls over at huckleberry http://www.huckleberrybar.com/...it's not just another pretty bar. anyway...enough about me. congratulations adam & susie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
