L + R // Belhurst Castle, Geneva, NY
August, 2021 | Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY
As I mentioned on the blog of their engagement session here, L + R had it rough with wedding plans as it relates to Covid. But, they really made the best of it with this beautiful day. They decided to forego a giant wedding and make a semi-elopement happen at the Belhurst Castle in Geneva, New York on the Finger Lakes.
Wedding photography at the Belhurst Castle is. a. blast.
It all started with getting ready photos. L had her parents and sister there, and it was such a great moment. We then orchestrated the first look at a beautiful spot outside the castle. (tears were certainly involved).
The wedding planning team at Belhurst Castle, the officiant, and even the cellist did an amazing job being patient and waiting out the rain - which did pass and the ceremony was able to happen outside - a ceremony on the cliff of the Finger Lakes with about 15 family members (+ some who joined on Zoom).
As it finished up, we captured family photos surrounded by fireflies and the mist of the rain. We wandered around for a bride and groom portrait session around the castle grounds, the dock, and I was grateful to get the pregnant bride to lay on the ground in a stairwell for a beautiful shot in the castle.
Whether you’re looking for New York City wedding photography, New York wedding photography, or an elopement session, we’d love to capture all of your moments. What an amazing day.
