Stephanie and Lisa’s earliest memories were on the grounds of Cedar Lakes Estate, a gorgeous estate venue and 500 acre getaway in Port Jervis, New York. We wanted this shoot to feel natural; we wanted to emulate what a real, intimate fall dinner party would feel like at Cedar Lakes Estate. The deck that we set the table on was built almost 90 years ago; the wood has worn into a beautiful grey and the deep green moss growing on it added another layer of color and beauty. We featured honeynut squash, prune plums, and Tomann Gold apples grown by our neighboring farmers, and used our collection of vintage silver platters to display baked camembert topped with thyme and fresh cranberries, charred ficelle toasts, local honey, figs, persimmons, beautiful green Niagra grapes and deep inky concord grapes.

The Search While it is necessary to take into account practical details like venue size and capacity, the most important part about finding a wedding venue is that you are absolutely, one-hundred percent, in love with it. Be sure and visit the venue during the time of day your wedding will take place to get a good idea of how it will look during the ceremony. Season is very important for outdoor wedding venues, especially ones where guests will be glamping in tipis and safari tents. Another important thing to consider when browsing through photos online is the season in which your wedding will take place and how that will affect the scenery and vibe.

Rooted in the concept of cultivating a community within the Atlanta event sphere, crazy talented florist, Amy Osaba, opened up a killer event studio in her historic westside warehouse space. For anyone looking to throw an event flooded with natural light, high ceilings, huge windows and exposed brick, this space is a dream come true. While the venue is also ideal for workshops, community classes, dinner parties, and cocktail parties, photographer Christina McNeill is showing off a rainy day wedding in the space that leaves onlookers with anything but the blues. Friends of Amy’s, the bride and groom ended up in the space at the last minute due to bad weather at the outdoor venue they’d originally booked.
