Real Wedding Inspiration: Kathrin + Jamie

This couple lives in the city but has a cabin in Patterson, NY. They held the ceremony and reception on their property. 

The bride is originally from Germany, the groom from Georgia. Their welcome gift baskets included chocolates from Germany, and Georgia pecans, pralines and peaches! Their honeymoon destination was Fiji- they included Fiji water bottles as well! At their reception, they had a swing band perform, they also included their CD in the baskets.

The day before the wedding and the morning of, it POURED rain. The bride walked outside to the ceremony site with an umbrella, and JUST as she got to the ceremony tent, the sun shined through. It was amazing!

Their theme was a backyard bird theme. They had bird's nests at each table setting, bird's stamped on their welcome basket and birds on their paper goods. The couple chose to take some of their photos near the groom's tractor- he spends a lot of time driving through their property with it! We thought it looked pretty cool!

For the ceremony, an acoustic duo performed. The reception site was muddy from the earlier rain, but it didn't stop the guests from dancing and posing for our 'Mud Photo Booth'! In lieu of gifts, the couple chose to make a donation from every guest to a charity named Robin Hood, a charity dedicated to fighting poverty in NYC.  The Polaroid photos are a gift from us, I pre-make the folio and we take photos from a medium format camera, we like the idea of our couples having something to take with them on their honeymoon!
