I’m delighted to show you this NY same sex wedding in historic Sharon Springs, NY. Doug and Garth own the American Hotel, where the wedding and venue was held.

You might recognize Doug and Garth from the TV Show The Fabulous Beekman Boys. I download some episodes on my ipad after the wedding and it’s a super funny show! The Beekman Boys were there in attendance so I want to give them a quick shout out and link love.

See Doug and Garth’s wedding has been a long time coming! They only have been together for over 25 years! Doug and Garth’s inspiration for their wedding celebrates marriage equality in New York State. They wanted their property to be first to host a legal same-sex wedding and to host the best reception imaginable!

The rings have an incredible story behind them! The rings were hand forged locally by Michael McCarthy. Three generations of family rings and their original rings they gave to each other from 25 years ago… all melted into one.

Doug was an avid gardener and I can appreciate that as a gardener myself!

The cakes had to be just as fab as the couple! They were done Luna Cakes by Design, Gail Luna. Six tiered traditional almond cake with local sour cherry filling. They also had four satellite cakes including lemon, carrot, chocolate and cardamom. Enough said.

Flowers were done by Tim Robertson, Johnstone Florist, Palatine Bridge, NY. The flowers were done in early autumn seasonal colors including light oranges, lavenders, russets, and pale pink hydrangeas.

Thanks for having me you two. It was truly my honor sharing a day with a couple who truly understand commitment. I hope you to see you again soon in Historic Sharon Springs! Maybe for another wedding! :)

Some sun outside (finally) and even more on the blog to match! Last weekend C+W headed up to the Lake Placid Lodge to shoot Regi+Tucker’s gorgeous lake wedding. After many years after meeting on a blind date their big day finally came to fruition, and it looked incredible! I’m sure it would take zero convincing to get you out on that patio for the RH dinner! Check out that view.

The Adirondack chairs (as you will see) were a theme they had going throughout their whole wedding. In fact, Regi proposed to Tucker with these cufflinks.

Lake Placid Lodge had monogrammed robes (and sheets) for the couple on their wedding day! How cool is that?

Regi + Tucker gave each guest one of these blankets as a gift. I hope mine is ‘in the mail’. :)

C+W just wants to send another shout to Regi+Tucker for having us. They really did convey the Adirondacks in their wedding! Fantastic job and congratulations!
