Leela and Vish live in Brooklyn, and Leela had originally contacted me when she was thinking about having a wedding in Boston or Rhode Island. A few weeks later she emailed that they had changed plans and were considering Montgomery Place in the Hudson Valley. I was so excited because I love the Hudson Valley. It is one of my favorite places to photograph, and drive. You can drive for miles and miles through little towns and pass so many farms and see the most beautiful landscapes. At night, the sky is so dark and you can see what looks like thousands of stars. In fact, it was on the night of Leela and Vish’s wedding that I first noticed the Milky Way in the night sky. “Is that a cloud? No. Is that…. a galaxy?!” And so I first saw our galaxy on this night. And I photographed Leela and Vish’s beautiful wedding at Montgomery Place.
