One of my favorite things about naming this business after my cat - Alice - is that it calls in to fellow animal lovers. Getting to work with Haley and Chris (fellow cat parents!) for their beautiful Owls Hoot Barn wedding was an absolute joy.
THE COUPLE
When Amanda on the Sweet Alice Studios team and I connected after Haley and Chris’ wedding day, she couldn’t stop saying how truly amazing and kind Haley and Chris are. They are gentle and sweet, funny and intentional. Their love is easy to be around and easy to document. Being able to celebrate them on their biggest day was a gift.
THE VENUE
Owls Hoot Barn in Coxsackie, NY is a rustic barn that has been outfitted for weddings. It features beautiful outdoor spaces for portraits and the ceremony, as well as a unique indoor space to host the reception. Cocktail hour is hosted on a patio located under the barn structure - a space I’ve never seen anywhere else!
THE DETAILS
Haley and Chris loved the antique and rustic vibe of their venue, and chose details that coordinated with the space. They used wooden flowers as their bouquets and to decorate their tables, and focused on blush pinks and sage greens to enhance their day.
Haley and Chris also chose to host a welcome hour for guests to enjoy the property prior to the ceremony. I find that wedding day events like this are such a treat, as it allows the guests to spend time with each other before all of the more formal festivities.
THE RECEPTION
When editing Haley and Chris’ wedding photos, some of my favorites were all of the smiling faces showcased as speeches were given. It was so clear from every image that their family and friends delight in them. To be celebrated and loved in such a way is an incredible gift.
Haley and Chris, we think of you often, with warmth and joy.
