Danielle and Mitch's wedding was so grand, so beautiful and so unique that I have decided to blog the photographs in two separate postings to give the day the full justice it deserves.
Even though the weather did not fully cooperate, nothing could stop this day from being an unbelievable wedding for Danielle and Mitch and their friends and family.
So, with that in mind, let me introduce Danielle in the make up seat preparing for her day. She and Mitch had decided to get married at Oheka Castle here in Huntington which is a photographer's dream come true. This location truly is a castle and to this day, still holds the status of being second largest private residence in the United States (after The Biltmore).
All the groomsmen had bow ties to wear and Maid of Honor Karla decided to do her 'bow tying' homework on one of the bridesmaids in case some of the guys weren't too familiar with bow ties and fell short in this area.

Three beautiful flower girls pose by the 4th floor balcony..
...and the dress goes on!
Danielle and Mitch had a Jewish wedding so they planned on seeing each other before the ceremony and meet in the Grand Foyer. So while Danielle was in the final throes of getting ready Mitch took a stroll outside to check on the weather..
I love this next series of images; Danielle entering the Foyer, walking down the staircase and then the two of them seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day!
Danielle looks pretty good as a bride, don't you think?
So, the rain did come as expected but we were still able to go outside the castle and get some beautiful photographs before the rain clouds hovered overhead!
Danielle and Mitch were such great sports! When the rain came, instead of high tailing it back inside, Danielle grabbed an umbrella and insisted we get lots of photographs in the rain.
Kim and I were happy to oblige of course!!
Then back inside to capture some beautiful natural light streaming into the library...
...and time for a quick geography lesson! How cute are these two!!
Wait a minute, we're not done yet with the rain shots - Danielle wanted a bridal party umbrella shot so we all ran outside one more time..
More to come later including my favorite wedding band of all time ~ Soul System Orchestras!!
