Cupids Bow & Arrow…not quite!

This past Saturday we had the honor to photograph the Wedding of Marissa Keaster and Danny Estatio at the beautiful Folino Estate, (www.folinoestate.com), outside of Kutztown. PA. The couple found us and confirmed our services via Wedding Wire. As they live on Long Island, NY we did not have a chance to meet in advance, so we received most of our information online. Two of the Special Requests that the Bride shared were; Danny was bringing his Dune Buggy, so they wanted a photo by it, and they wanted a picture with their bows? Bows on the Dune Buggy??  Nope, hunting bows, like for hunting deer!  That was going to be a first.  So now we’re off to meet the Bride and her attendants.  In my mind I’m wondering will I find a Camo Wedding Gown? Everyone in Cowgirl boots? Just not sure what to expect, (all the above would be fine if that were the case), well we knock on the door and Marissa answered and she couldn’t have been more elegant, as were her attendants. They were all stunning!  The couple decided to do a 1^st look at the venue, so the Bride opted last minute to dress at Folino’s. The weather was very ominous and 1^st look, all bridal party, family photos and ceremony were to be done outside on the grounds.  Well Mother nature decided that was not going to be the case…we were able to get the 1^st look, dune buggy, bow and arrow images before it started to rain, which then dictated that the rest of the day’s activities would be inside. The couples flowers were designed by Nosegay Florist, (www.nosegayflorist.com) and were truly stunning, really matching the theme of the Wedding and Wedding Party. Of course, the reception experience was First Class, with the aid and directions of Sales Manager, Gina Marten and the Folino staff. The couples’ cake was made by Bride’s cousin, Karin of Alpine Bakery, on Long Island. Entertainment also came for New York – Party Up Productions, (www.partyupproductions.com), who kept the NYC DJ theme going all night, with a very full dance floor. It was truly an awesome Weddings and Linda and I wish Marissa & Danny, years of Love & Happiness and many more “Cupid” type arrows to their lives together.
