“We’re planning a small and intimate event, 50ish people. Ceremony around 4:30 in the field (might be a little later, I’d like to plan it around that golden hour light, it’s so gorgeous out there) followed by a catered farm-to-table style dinner under the big tent we’ll have up like last year. Live music for the event.
We don’t really plan on having the party portion there, but rather do dessert and after-dinner drinks followed by a trip into town to bar hop and dance at the Chat like the good old days.
I’d love to have you with us for some getting ready pics (our house and likely June’s for Matt ..so both within 4 minutes from the farm). It would be great to do a first look, our couple’s pics and pics with our kids before the ceremony. I don’t necessarily want the traditional family wedding pics but would rather we get them more organically throughout the night - which will be pretty easy with such a small group. So the ceremony would flow right in to apps and shortly after into dinner/speeches/first dance etc.
I would also LOVE to switch up the vibe a little at go into Hudson together for like bar shots pics and more fun/modern/party vibes. I’m even thinking how fun to do some in front of like Sauvé and other spots we love!
I’m guessing we’d be looking at like 2:30 ish in the afternoon (depending on ceremony time) to maybe 9?”
