Arrival at Foxfire Mountain House
Preparing for the Big Day
As I arrived at Foxfire for Lexi and Brett's special day, the crisp, warm air greeted me, hinting at the unforgettable moments to come. The sound of music drifting from a nearby cottage added to the anticipation of the day ahead.
Lexi's morning was filled with laughter, champagne, and the expert touch of her stylists from Bridal by Alexandria. Surrounded by her closest friends, the joy and excitement were palpable, setting a cheerful tone for the day. Meanwhile, Brett and his friends took to the trails, embracing the natural beauty of the Catskills. It was the perfect start to his wedding day, reflecting the couple's love for the outdoors and adventure.
Kind words from Lexi + Brett:
“Samantha June is absolutely amongst the best in the business! From the first time we spoke with her on Facetime, to meeting her for our connection session and working with her for our wedding this weekend, we have continued to be amazed and wowed by her work and overall presence. Her photos are absolutely magical and truly capture some of life's most intimate and special moments! To boot, our family and friends were blown away by her ability to do 10 things at once, which included getting people to be comfortable in front of the camera (without feeling posed!), acting as a wrangler and somewhat of a planner day-of, and so much more. We cannot say enough about her and cannot wait to work with her again - book her today!”
The Outdoor Ceremony at Foxfire Mountain House
Personal Vows and a New Orlean’s Style Second Line
Lexi and Brett’s ceremony was a beautiful blend of their personalities and backgrounds. The ceremony site was covered in flowers and the aisle was lined with Persian rugs. At the end of the ceremony they had a Second Line to bring a taste of New Orleans to the Catskills, a nod to Lexi’s heritage, while the music and dancing paid homage to their shared love of the arts. Lexi's gown from Floravere, accentuated with a handcrafted cape by her mother, and Brett's indigo blue velvet jacket, thrifted to perfection, showcased their unique styles and deep connection to their families.
