Crystal Springs Grand Cascades Lodge October Wedding Dress Viero Bridal New York Bridesmaid Dresses Revelry Tuxedo by Sarno Fall Autumn

Taylor and Jason’s October wedding took place at Crystal Springs Resort Grand Cascades Lodge in Hamburg, NJ. The ceremony was outdoors, with a view of the sunset over the rolling hills. The guests convened for cocktail hour in the Rotunda Room and for the reception, everyone transitioned to the Emerald Ballroom. The couple chose this venue because although it’s a golf course, it’s set among nature with incredible views.

Taylor and Jason’s love for each other is palpable. After having so much fun with them at their fall engagement session at Skylands Manor, we knew we were in for a good wedding day!

The Details

We were escorted via golf carts to the reservoir after they shared their first look under the quaint bridge. The bride’s dress was from Viero Bridal New York and the bridesmaid dresses were a “cinnamon rose color” from Revelry. The groom’s tux was Tuxedo by Sarno. The groomsmen wore navy/grey suits with bow ties. Taylor envisioned a “natural fall vibe with clean colors and design.”

The makeup and hair styling was provided by Reflections Spa within the Grand Cascades Lodge, so it was nice Taylor did not have to go offsite or hire someone outside of the resort. FLORALS by Magnolia did an amazing job of tying in a simplistic fall color palette into the overall scheme. The party was led by one of our all-time favorites, Jeff Scott Gould from SCE Event Group. Last but not least, we got to spend the day kickin’ it with our videographer friends Alexa and Nick of Folded Crane Films.

The couple chose Crystal Springs Resort after searching all over New York for a venue. It was the last place they saw and they loved the flow of ceremony to cocktail to reception. They were looking forward to the fall foliage this time of year, and they both actually do golf at this location. So it’s a special place to each of them and their relationship.

We totally loved photographing Taylor & Jason’s wedding day!

Their Backstory

“Jason and I bought our first house together back in 2017, little did we know this old house would lead us to a proposal from “This Old House”…

Our 1911 Craftsman home was a scene straight out of the movie “The Money Pit” – everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. So Jason and I had to learn very quickly how to become “handy” which led us to binge watching This Old House (TOH) videos, where we fell in love with the cast and the show. This first house tested our relationship and proved what a great team we make.

Three years later and many DIY projects completed, Jason reached out to TOH’s Tom Silva and Kevin O’Connor to help plan a proposal which involved Tom handcrafting my ring on the show. It was the perfect way to symbolize our love story.”
