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."

Emily & Bradd's Wedding - June 2011
"...Finally, the day came and, as I was driving up to Full Moon, it started to rain. But by the time I got there, it had stopped, and the sky was giving way to those thick clouds that cast a bright, even light over everything. 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......"

Andrea & Bruce's Wedding - June 2011
"Last Sunday we had the pleasure of making the flowers and cake for Andrea and Bruce's wedding at the beautiful Full Moon Resort in upstate New York. The bride and groom wanted a wildflower, freshly picked from nature looked (which we love!), and worked perfectly with the outdoor ceremony and the amazing barn that the reception was in....."

Amber & Jacob's Wedding - June 2011
"A year ago, Amber & Jake not only asked me to attend their beautiful wedding weekend, but to photograph it. I was honored. I will have to admit, during the ceremony I had to keep telling myself "there is no crying in photography" when I started to feel the tears well up."

Dara & Jesse's Wedding - May 2011

"Dara and Jesse’s country wedding at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY was incredibly cute. The combination of design simplicity and casual elegance jived well with the mountainside setting. And the two lovebirds had such genuine smiles the whole time, I bet their faces hurt at the end of the day!...."

Patricia & Jesse's Wedding - October 2010
"....they gathered friends and families from four continents at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, N.Y. With the sun settling behind the crest of the nearest Catskill hilltop, Mr. Phillips took his place beside Rev. Keith Fiveson, an interfaith minister..... As Ms. Sexton emerged from a forest path in an ivory backless ball gown, the pretend Snow White truly resembled a fairy tale princess. That is, until she lifted her skirt to give her 103 guests a peek at red-sequined sneakers....."

Lisette & Ryan's Wedding - October 2010
" 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...."

Sammy & Matt's Wedding - September 2010
"Here's the deal... weddings are both hard and easy to shoot. On the one hand, you only have one shot at everything. On the other hand, everyone looks beautiful and in that way, they make it pretty easy to nail a stunning shot.... Full Moon is a glorious place to shoot. Enough said..."

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...."

Lindsay & Chris's Wedding - August 2010
"I am SO glad I am not alone in my love for stripes. If you put stripes on a skirt, purse, wall, or really any inanimate object I am automatically smitten. This lovely bride, with fabulous taste I might add, has the same affinity for all things striped and decided to make it a central design theme for their wedding......"

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....."

Eve & Josh's Wedding - July 2010
"Everyone had such an amazing time at this wedding….from hysterically funny speeches to musical performances, and short films (this was a seriously talented group of people). There was a bbq rehearsal dinner, a gorgeous ceremony, and after parties every night. And all this before the really fabulous wedding reception........"

Liz & Paul's Wedding - July 2010
" Liz and Paul’s wedding was at the Full Moon Resort in the Catskills over the fourth of July weekend. They live in Missouri, but wanted a place where they could celebrate all weekend with family and friends, and Full Moon had it all: a beautiful setting, with great food, and comfortable rooms. Their wedding was classy with lots of little vintage touches......"

Melanie & Jerry's Wedding - July 2010
"We got married in the Catskill Mountains over a 3-day getaway, kidnapping our guests so they could join us in the world of our own we created at Full Moon Resort. (You can read about our planning process in the “before” section of planning my Full Moon wedding.) Our wedding festivities started with a very mellow casual 4th of July BBQ, one of our favorite holidays."

Jennifer & Patrick'S Wedding - July 2010
"Patrick and Jennifer were married at the Full Moon Resort in the Catskills in July. Prior to the wedding they spent months creating personal touches for the day: they hand-painted signs, found antique cake & pie platters, and they even had a signature drink. There was much beauty in the details."

Katherine & Brian's Wedding - June 2010
"Katherine + Brian got married deep in the Catskill Mountains at the Full Moon Resort. The beautiful couple said their own vows under a tent protected from the threatening weather, witnessed by an intimate gathering of family and friends who spent the weekend with them. More details to come when I do a full post on their wedding, but suffice it to say, I had a great time with this creative, emotive and loving couple."

Melinda & Lee's Weddding - June 2010
The sun seeped through a mass of towering trees to kiss the cheeks of a loving man, and beautiful woman. He busied himself, anxious and excited to breathe his bride. She was calm. Glowing, ready, at peace… admirably calm. It was evident throughout the day they shared an honest desire to love one another well and deeply, to the end.......

Adrienne & Sandy's Wedding - June 2010
" The ceremony was about as perfect as it gets being back in the woods next to a little stream with Adrienne and Sandy’s closest friends and family. This was followed by cocktails on the lawn, a dinner reception in the tent, and then to “The Party Barn” for dancing with a really great rock-a-billy band Adrienne and Sandy found in New York City...."

Cathrin & James' Wedding - September 2009
"So I wanted to finish my post about our 3 day weekend we shot in the Catskills. The whole weekend was held @ one location, which made it really nice for all the family & friends that decided to stay up. The event took place @ the Full Moon Resort, in Big Indian. On Friday guests arrived & greeted one another, getting better acquainted before the big day. The day ended with dinner in the nearby barn followed by dancing & a bonfire. On Saturday, the day started with yoga followed by a large buffet breakfast....."

Lovisa & Christopher's Wedding - August 2009
"Stories about a couple who discover, then lose, and who ultimately find one another again are told only in books and on movie screens, right? Wrong. 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. You can see how perfectly matched they are for one another by the way they laugh, hold one another, and care for their families....."

Sarah & Dominick's Wedding - July 2009
"The bride designed and printed the invitations for the wedding. The inspiration behind the stationery suite was silver age comic books. Dominick grew up liking a few characters, and Sarah loves "the exuberant art, simple newsprint paper, and their old-school printing style....Solitary dahlias and mums in minimalist modern vases made for elegant centerpieces, while silver Mylar heart balloons tied to chairs raised spirits...

Libby & Eric's Wedding - July 2009
"...as you can see, the dancing went late into the night, starting at the reception tent and moving into what Full Moon Resort calls their “Party Barn” but seems to be a full-on bar and dance hall. DJ friends rock. I’ve never heard such great music at a wedding....." "Full Moon Resort is an extraordinary place to have a wedding. I just can’t say it enough. It’s a little off the beaten path but worth the drive (which is stunning in its own right!)."

Heather & Bryan's Wedding - June 2009
"Back in June I photographed Heather and Bryan’s wedding in the Catskills! They wanted a country rustic affair and Full Moon Resort in Big Indian NY provided just that. We ended up with some rain on the day of and unfortunately right before their ceremony was to take place. We stayed in doors as much as possible to keep from the weather, but still had a wonderful time shooting for Heather and Bryan! Here are my favs from the day!"

The tent was decorated simply with cranberry trim and ribbon, candles at each table, allowing the surrounding natural beauty of the Catskills center stage. Black and white wedding photos of Courtney and Erik’s parents and grandparents adorned the gift table, setting a tone of family love and fun that is so much a part of who the couple is...."
