Cristin and Phil's New York Farm Lockdown Elopement by Nicole Nero Studio

Happy Friday everyone and how are you all? How has your week been so far? Mine has been OK considering. This week we decided to put the Christmas decorations up outside. I know it’s only November but I felt that the street needed cheering up, so I’m hoping that now we have started the ball rolling the rest of the street may follow! As for this weekend, much of the same really; baking, board games, walks and a visit from Nana. So on with today’s wedding and it’s the first Zoom wedding I’ve featured. Cristin and Phil were married on 3rd September 2020 at West Sand Lake in New York. They eloped but still managed to have lots of beautiful decoration, which they shared with their friends and family via Zoom. The cutting of the cake and first dance were all shared via Zoom, showing that you can still get married in lockdown. They will be holding a 1 year vow-renewal in 2021 along with a big old party! Big thanks to Nicole Nero Studio for capturing the day for us.

Nicole The photographer tells us more about the day

This June Farms wedding was perfect in every way! Cristin and Phil eloped with their two dear friends and their pup, Oly by their sides. The morning was spent setting up an epic ceremony spot with lanterns, plants, the perfect little cake, champagne and of course Zoom, so their families could be included! Eloping can include so many details; these two did a first look, a first dance, cut their cake, played pre-recorded speeches from their best man and maid of honor and watched them together while sipping champagne. Taking time to enjoy each moment, to savor being together, to get to do anything you want, whenever you want. Taking an epic family photo in the ceremony spot, because they COULD! Those are just some of the things that make eloping, an amazing option. Oh, and planning a 1 year vow-renewal for your ‘big party’ isn’t bad either! Cheers to Cristin and Phil, cheers to many more champagne toasts and cheers to the big party in 2021!
