classic elegance at Castle Hill

Bathed in gorgeous late afternoon light, Elizabeth & David's wedding at the Crane Estate epitomized grace and elegance. The whole celebration proceeded flawlessly, thanks to a "dream team" of vendors: The Crane Estate's wonderful event coordinator Laura Daley, fabulous artistic videographer Rosemary Jenseth of AfterImage Productions, lush floral arrangements by Jessica Wrobel, delicious (and gorgeous!) food by Capers Catering, swinging tunes from Hush, and (literally) the icing on the cake – a stunning confectionery creation by JohnnyCakes.

1,000 cranes at the Crane Estate

1,000 paper cranes are a classic symbol of good fortune, and for Sarah & Scott's wedding, Scott folded every single one of the thousand cranes – such dedication! Jessica Wrobel's beautiful floral creations graced the ceremony chairs and place settings, and the day was expertly captured by the talented videographer Mark Willand, who I'm always so glad to work with.

One of the many things I love about the Crane Estate is its versatility – so many options for ceremonies, and so many stunning locations for photos. Sarah & Scott chose to have their ceremony in the lovely Italian Garden; during the ceremony, the sky seemed to threaten rain, but in the end the weather behaved very courteously...the rain held off until the minute after the last guest stepped into the Great House for dinner.
