Nicole + James | Woodloch Resort Wedding | Poconos, PA

Nicole + James were married this past weekend at Woodloch Resort in Pennsylvania, which may sound far from the Hudson Valley, but its actually really close and I love it! The Poconos are so beautiful, I love the feeling of being out in the woods and surrounded by nature.
These two make such a cute couple and they’ve been together for 10 years. They met in high school and were each others prom date - I mean, how adorable is that!? Not many people can say they met their soulmate at 17 years old.
I adore outdoor ceremonies, not only are they usually the short and sweet type, but they are usually so much more personalized. Their’s was an intimate setting that just felt so special, they wrote their own vows and all you heard was sniffles throughout their guests as they took turns reading.
I might have been one of those snifflers in the crowd too…..
It was truly a beautiful day with a beautiful couple!

From the Couple…

Best decision I made!

Cassondre was absolutely wonderful, and I would 1000% recommend her to everyone! The photographer was the most important vendor decision for me, and I looked at a lot of companies. What originally attracted me to Cassondre was not only that her photographs were beautiful, but they had personality and variety - I felt that a lot of the other photographers I looked at only had 1 style, and I didn't want that. From the first call, she focused on my relationship with my husband and wanted the photographs to express that. She was so thoughtful, always available and even helped me to plan my wedding day timeline. Fast forward to the wedding day, she was calming and professional, but also so easy to talk to and we got along great! She managed to capture every moment I wanted and so much more - she even had a yellow umbrella in her car, and with my How I Met Your Mother obsession, I cannot tell you how excited I was to get a picture with the yellow umbrella. I didn't need a videographer because her photos covered the entire night and showed how much fun everyone was having. Both the prints and the wedding album she created for us are stunning and of such high quality. Picking Cassondre was by far the best decision I made with my wedding - I absolutely LOVE her and the next time I need a photographer, she will be my first call.
