The wedding day at Fox Hollow wedding venue started bright and early when our wedding photographers in New York began to capture the big day in quintessentially small wedding details. Our stunning bride Nathalie was captured as she got ready with her A-team of bridesmaids wearing matching bridesmaids getting-ready outfits. Two flower girls also accompanied our gorgeous bride and posed for pretty pre-ceremony portraits. The matching bridesmaid outfits were navy blue satin pajama and shirt sets with Nathalie in her bridal white. The bride-getting-ready portraits looked gorgeous as she went through her wedding vows once again before walking down the aisle. The gorgeous navy blue and white wedding invites were also captured with the engagement and wedding bands. 

The bridal ensemble of Nathalie stole our hearts for starters. The wedding dress was a strapless white gown with a plunging neckline along with intricate embroidery and beading work could be seen running through the entire dress. The sweeping white wedding gown was paired with a Cathedral-length veil along with a red and white bridal bouquet. The winter-themed bridal bouquet featured white and red roses along with cascading greens. Her hair was left open neatly and side-parted on her left as a stunning bridal hairdo that looked effortlessly chic. Her better half Pierre also brought out his A-game of groom outfit by acing in a dark maroon-colored two-piece satin suit with black lapels. He paired this amazing groom suit with a pair of shiny black shoes, a crisp white shirt, a sparkling black bow tie, and a white rose groom boutonniere.

They exchanged their wedding vows in a completely elegant church setting surrounded by white and gold wedding details. The gorgeous duo tied the knot in a gorgeous and chic winter wedding setting and we loved every bit of it. The best part was when they exited their wedding ceremony in an orchestrated grand wedding send-off which featured a shining white car in the middle of a snow-covered backdrop. Can you imagine something dreamier than that? The grand white car send-off truly stole our hearts as the newlyweds said "cheers" and drank champagne while the snowflakes slowly sprinkled and welcomed the lovebirds into a brand new life in a poetic way. 

Upon reaching their wedding reception venue, the next part of the wedding celebration began. The newlyweds took this amazing opportunity to click a few couple portraits, and their wedding party joined them shortly after. The dashing groomsmen portraits revealed the matching groomsmen outfits- featuring exclusively black formal suits with crisp white shirts and shiny black bow ties. The gang of women too looked gorgeous in their matching bridesmaid dresses which were navy blue maxi dresses ranging in different mismatching styles. The snowy wedding portraits of Nathalie and Pierre later that night looked ethereal as both of them went outside and posed for some dreamy winter wonderland couple portraits featuring cascading snow, pine trees, and a blanket of white snow-covered grounds of the wedding venue.

From the travel wedding details that were revealed in all the big and small wedding ideas to the emotional family portraits where the newlyweds were designed by their closest family members, every moment of this wedding in New York warmed up our hearts on a snowy winter day. The night came to an end with the couple celebrating and cutting their chic four-tiered wedding cake and twirling through the big dance floor while being wrapped in each other's arms. As much as well-loved all the well-placed and thoughtful wedding details of this New York wedding couple, we also love the synergy of positive energy that they brought to their wedding day.
