Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Brittney and Adam

Did you know you can have a wedding in the main restaurant at Blue Hill at Stone Barns? They offer daytime weddings for a smaller guest count. This worked out perfectly for what Brittney and Adam had in mind for their wedding. With guests arriving at 10AM, we had an early start to the day. Brittney and Adam wanted to take pictures before their guests arrived at Blue Hill, so she woke up really early to start makeup with Face Time Beauty at 5AM in the morning. I’m an early bird anyway, so the early start was great for me. Arriving at dawn at Blue Hill was quite beautiful. For a while it was just me and the baker (who was making the most delicious bread). The bakery is right next to the private dining room, which was where we had Brittney get ready.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Anaïs and Brian

Anaïs and Brian were married at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in September. It had been calling for some rain that day, so we moved the ceremony for 118 guests from the open courtyard to the covered café awning. This is such an intimate space and equally as beautiful backdrop for the happy couple to saw their vows to each other. Anaïs wore a gorgeous A-line gown from Mira Zwillinger. She also had a custom matching detachable top piece that gave the dress a short sleeve look for the ceremony. This was removed after the ceremony, for a strapless look for the reception. Liam Carey changed her hair style from a soft elegant updo to hair down for the reception. Her Poppies and Posies bouquet was comprised of creamy white local dahlia, paired with hydrangea, garden roses, hydrangea, delicate eucalyptus and a touch of small blue thistle.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Carmen and Matt

In what has been an incredibly wet year for weddings, we finally had a day when I didn’t have to keep checking my three weather apps throughout the day. It was a gorgeous September day at Blue Hill at Stone Barns for Carmen and Matt. We had to reschedule their wedding twice due to COVID-19, and everyone was so happy when the big day finally came. Both sets of parents spent many weeks in quarantine on their journey from China. Carmen and Matt were both such a pleasure to work with. They dealt with the pandemic challenges with compassion and grace. I think this bodes well for a long and happy marriage!

Linden and Jacob's Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in the spring was so beautiful that it took forever for me to get this blog post together!
