Christmas Eve as a child has got to be one of my favorite memories. The anticipation of Christmas morning and Santa and presents under the tree, the family tradition of opening one gift each on that wonderful evening. But truly, the best part was The Archer's Holiday party. Why am I talking about Christmas Eve in September? Well, that is how I know Katie after all. Her parents were our graceful hosts on those cold holiday evenings. While the adults were upstairs catching up on a year's worth of going-on's and chatting and laughing, us kids were downstairs playing hide-and-go-seek, trying our best to be pool players, and probably occasionally running around and being too loud. Years and years of these parties became our family tradition, our neighborhood tradition.
When Katie and I reconnected after so many years via Facebook(gotta love Facebook!) I was absolutely honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding. And after meeting Ben, I am so very happy for them both, that they found one another to share their lives with. I had such a blast with them at their engagement session. Can I tell you, dear blog readers, how absolutely EXCITING it was to see them dressed in pure vintage loveliness when I met them for their engagement session? SO EXCITED. These two are classic and stunning and absolutely glowing in love.
I can't wait for their wedding next month at Camp Kiwiin Carmel, NY- another childhood memory all in itself. Now for the pure vintage loveliness...
Had to include one of the famous Ms. Billy Jean ;)
Super awesome. I feel like I am on the set of the "The NoteBook". May their love be that timeless.

Very cool couple! My favorite has to be the second b+w. He looks a lot like a Baldwin brother in that shot. :)
