Full Moon Resort has been hosting and catering wedding celebrations in the Catskill Mountains since Spring 2001. After many of those events, satisfied clients have published online blogs, photographs and videos of their event.
This page is dedicated to those online publications. Selections have been arranged by year and season.
Mary & Michael's Wedding - April 2013
This past saturday in the Catskills was pure whimsy. It was a hearty, earthy,
gracious, grateful, and deeply meaningful day. Belly laughs, wild flowers,
vintage chic, twinkling lights, and a five piece band all blended together to
create an overwhelming sense of home for the guests. It's what the couple
wanted. Exactly what they wanted. Because it's who they are and the
wedding reflected it."

Katie & Eric's Wedding - September 2012
"Everything about Katie and Eric’s day was so perfectly them, from all of the intricate, hand made decorations to the acoustic metal band that serenaded them during the reception. I’ve never seen a couple more effortlessly at ease on their wedding day than these two. We didn’t want the evening to end!"

Dayna & Aaron's Wedding - September 2012
"..On the recommendation of one of my bridesmaids, we looked at some pictures online of the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY
and within two days, had put down money to secure a date with them. The Full Moon was the only venue we went to see and it
turned out to be the perfect one for us. On the drive home from touring the venue, we picked our theme - Lichtenstein/'50s
Romance Comic Books with a polka dots and stripes color palatte.."

Jeanette & Graham's Wedding - August 2012
"
I first met Jeanette and Graham last year...for an engagement session complete with
NYC skyline and a spin on an old fashioned Carousel. Although their mountain wedding at the Full Moon
Resort in the Catskills had a completely different look, the love that these two had for each other was the
same if not stronger then it was a year ago. What a fun couple to work with! Like most of the weddings I
photograph, their friends and families came from all over the country and beyond to be a part of this
wedding. "

Courtney & Colin's Wedding - July 2012
"When two artists call you to photograph their wedding, you know
it’s going to be good! Especially when one of them is a fiber artist
and will make by hand various elements of the wedding decor: the
curtain tiebacks, the pillows. And when the other is a rocking
dancer! And especially when the both of them are the nicest
people ever, completely in love and surrounded by some of the
happiest and loveliest friends and family. Such a great day!"

Christine & Eric's Wedding - July 2012
"Christine and Eric had a fabulous day for their wedding at Full
Moon Resort. They were both smiles from morning until the end of
the night. I really feel that you can see the joy in the photos. They
had a fun BBQ in the Barn the night before that ended with
S’mores around a fire, and the after party in the music space at
Full Moon was a blast … they truly made a weekend of it."

them, especially something as momentous and once in a lifetime
as their wedding... I was really honored when [Jordan] asked me to
capture her day......
Lady and Mr. J were married at a beautiful resort in upstate New
York, Full Moon Resort. Rolling hills, a rocky stream and lots of
trees. We had a really great time working together."

Spring Wedding - May 2012
"I am so excited to share the photographs from my weekend in New York photographing a very sweet loving wedding ceremony! The whole weekend went by so fast, but so wonderful... It is a beautiful nature resort set along the Esopus Creek in the Catskill Mountains. It is such a remote peaceful getaway... I could have just hung out by the creek and skipped rocks for hours."

"Adi and Saar were married at the Full Moon Resort, in Oliveria, NY,
on a day in late November. I love the look of a forest when the
leaves are off the trees, and so did this couple. They wanted lots of
outside portraits, and braved the chill to get them."

Carrie & John's Wedding - October 2011
"The weekend kicked off with a BBQ in the most beautiful barn which was then followed by a bonfire outside with family and friends. I am giving John’s Mother full credit for creating the perfect mood with her extraordinary s’more bar idea! Seriously, have you EVER seen anything more beautiful?! She even made homemade marshmallows! The table was stocked full with chocolate bars including my favorite Reese’s CUPS! I literally felt like I was inside a dream world.

Emily & Matt's Wedding - July 2011
"One great thing about getting married at Full Moon is guests have the opportunity to reserve the entire place – cabins, music venue, bonfire, fresh water pool, grounds, etc – for a whole weekend, if they like. The day before the wedding, Emily saw this short bus driving by. She flagged it down & hired the driver to take her and her bridesmaids to the ceremony site. Quite an entrance."

Casey & Justin's Wedding - July 2011
"[I'’d] been looking forward to Casey and Justin’s wedding at Full Moon, in the Catskill Mountains. It was everything I expected: stunning, relaxed and utterly joyful. The bride has a gift for finding four-leaf clovers, and found one without even looking right before walking down the aisle. That about sums it up. Congrats Casey and Justin – it was such a pleasure to be part of your day."

When I went in to say hello to Emily, she said, “We’re going for it!” And we were all so glad because the ceremony in the Upper Grove was so beautiful......"

Lisette and Ryan are a highly artistic, unique pair of Brooklynites - she's a writer and editor, and he's a filmmaker and carpenter. Their wedding was definitely done with the philosophy of "it takes a village" - with a bridal party of 24 friends, they didn't have to look far for help! "Everyone had a job," Lisette says. "Don't hesitate to give people jobs!" The bride did her own make-up while one of her super-talented bridesmaids handled her hair...."

Lucy & Joe's Wedding - September 2010
"
Lucy and Joe are a perfect fit. I suspected this immediately when I initially encountered them together for their
"FIRST LOOK" and it became more and more evident as the day went on. Lucy's Yin curls up to Joe's Yang. Her moon softens his sun. Their ceremony was performed by Lucy's brother, Gordon, and it was tranquil, yet at the same time powerful. You got the sense that one cannot exist without the other, while each remain strong in their own right...."

Amy & Adam's Wedding - August 2010
"Really, from the beginning we weren't sure what type/size wedding we wanted to have, but when we realized it was going to be on the larger more expensive side, we felt it conflicted with our values to have so much consumption and waste for a single party. So we decided that if we were going to be spending all that money, we at least wanted it to go to support things and people that we believed in, which to us meant being a good local business who supports their community and respects the earth. It was one of the main reasons we picked Full Moon....."

That’s exactly the way the story goes for Lovisa & Christopher, a wonderfully warm and sincere twosome who have found the deeper meaning of a love cultivated over years of time.
