August 12, 2014

Lovely. Authentic. Spiritual.

When we first came to New Jersey it was considered a “Look & See” visit. We stayed a week to house hunt and Jeff went to visit his new workplace as well. We ended up making a friend on the train one evening coming back from NYC who brought us to a party in Morristown. We ran into Danica and Milton and talked about our experience of moving and connected on the top of Burning Man. We shared the love of music, community, dancing and love. We immediately connected and became friends online. Almost a year after meeting these two love birds, we finally were living in New Jersey and they had gotten engaged!! We were beyond thrilled when they chose us to document this fabulous journey ahead of them. Just shows that everything happens for a reason. The rest is history…friends turned clients that are even closer friends now. 🙂

This wedding was one of the most unique and connected weddings I have ever attended. The Catskill Mountains painted the perfect backdrop for this beautiful celebration. Stone Tavern Farm is tucked in the rolling mountains with picturesque views in every direction. The dreamy pink bridesmaid dresses and the formal wear on the guys against the mountains was just stunning. Danica couldn’t have looked more gorgeous in her gown. I loved that she picked a Tory Burch Blue wedge for her wedding shoes. Smart girl! Those will look good with anything later! And Milton’s suit fit snug as a bug. He was looking very dapper. His smile is probably one of the biggest I have seen and his hugs are the tightest hugs I have ever had. And this day was no different…well maybe a little. I think he was giddy with excitement.

The ceremony was FANTASTIC. I loved the mix of family with burners. Some were in costumes and some were in formal wear. They all cheered as Milton walked down the hill to the ceremony. They cheered as the vintage Bentley made its way up the hill with Danica. And they stood and clapped as she walked down the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband. It was magical. There were several really special moments that stuck out to me as I think back. They had the passing of the wedding rings through out the crowd so that each person could bless the rings before they were exchange between the bride and groom. I LOVE THIS. Danica has her father tattoo’d on her left shoulder. It is a beautiful tribute to her father. I thought it was lovely that the minister had all of the men in Danica’s life stand up at the wedding and vow to always be there for her. And then all of the audience to vow they would be there for both of them. I just cannot explain how real and authentic this ceremony was. Speechless.

I thought it couldn’t get any better, but it did. The celebration continued in the barn down the hill. The live band, the twinkling lights, the costumes, the sincere speeches…it was absolutely unforgettable. Burners are givers and the wedding was full of just that. GIVING! People gave the gift of speeches, the gift of song and the gift of love. I am so honored to have been a part of this celebration. To see people of all kinds come together and do something different really touched me. And these people like to dance- those are my kind of people. I even changed into a giant black tutu and boots for this party! The night was topped off with a fireworks show and fire dancers. I love how the wedding was a perfect mix of a traditional wedding and a dash of burning man. This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart.

After the ceremony, we joined the burners at the camp down the road. Pitched a tent, grabbed a drink and hung out over the camp fire. The fire dancers, dj and friendly folk welcomed right in. Again, unforgettable.

Thank you Danica and Milton for letting us celebrate with you. We wish you the happiest of happy! You are very special to us. Congrats!!

-Leaha + Jeffrey
