A Wedding
Remember how I shot that wedding and then all hell broke loose in my life? Well let’s change the subject for a moment to photos of that pretty wedding. I shot ten bajillion photos and had to narrow it down to roughly 200 and then SOMEHOW only share less than 30 with you here, the hardest thing ever. I also shot with a digital camera and three film cameras, so lots of shots had different looks, making narrowing down even tougher.
Anyway! This is the beautiful wedding of Lesley and Galen, held in upstate New York at Liberty View Farm. Despite the hurricane trying to ruin their fun with some bad ass flooding and mud, fun was had and sunshine shone. Lesley’s amazing dress was designed by Leanne Marshall of Project Runway fame from parts of Lesley’s mother’s wedding dress (!) and her shoes were Kate Spade, since those are Important Details inquiring minds will beg to know. Photographing a big wedding is crazy hard work and I commend those of you who do it full time.
Onward. Photo dump, I apologize.

Gorgeous photos, Kate! Lesley’s dress is amazing, so sweet that she incorporated her mother’s dress into her own.

Hi Kate,
I’ve never commented before. Although I’ve been a reader for a while now. But I just had to say what wonderful photographs you made for your friends. They are just lovely. I am a wedding photographer and I just couldn’t help from saying “wow” when I saw them. Congrats and I’m sorry about what you and your boyfriend are going through.
