Eclectic Vintage Wedding at the Casa Blanca on Cherry Island in Alexandria Bay New York {Part 2}

Potsdam Based Photographer: Natalie’s Studio| Full Wedding

This a continuation post for Freddy and Alex’s wedding on Cherry Island.  If you didn’t see Part 1 you can view it at http://www.nataliewstudio.com/blog/2017/9/eclectic-vintage-wedding-at-casa-blanca-alex-bay. 

Freddy and Alex had a fantastic wedding at the Victorian house Casa Blanca on Cherry Island. Freddy and Alex married their two styles (Freddy very eclectic and Alex simple and clean), with their wedding décor choices.  The burgundy’s, soft greens, whites and purples looked fantastic.  Kathleen Murphy of Primrose Hill created Freddy and Mariana’s bouquets of locally grown wildflowers.  And the addition of the vintage details at Casa Blanca added to Freddy’s unique and quirky style.  It all came together beautifully!

 Freddy and Alex are a team.  They fit like and hand and a glove and truly bring out the very best in each other.  And their family and friends mirrored these sentiments with all the love, support and speeches on their wedding day.  Freddy’s sister, Mariana and Alex’s twin brother Greg made up their bridal party.  They had a sentimental and heartfelt ceremony that merged the diverse backgrounds of each family.  Alex, being a poet, had exquisite vows that were funny, honest and loving.  Freddy… well she made me cry… as she professed the true respect, love and commitment between them.   

The reception was wonderfully casual with a focus on honoring the couple, spending time with family and friends and enjoying the island.  Guest mingled around the island and  house enjoying the view or partaking in the fun of the photo booth (provided by DJ Lennox).  It was a perfect atmosphere.  Alex sung a special song for Freddy that was a true highlight of the reception.  And Freddy and Alex included their siblings in the special dances.  There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful this couple is.  Every time I look at the photos and think of their wedding day my heart is filled with love and gratitude that I get to be part of such a special day in their lives.   I am so glad I was able to be part of it.  Please enjoy these reception photos and feel free to leave a comment.
