elegant brotherhood winery wedding | jennifer & alex

jennifer and alex had a beautiful fall day for their elegant brotherhood winery wedding in the hudson valley of new york with inncredible caterers. alex looked sharp in his classic tuxedo and jennifer was stunning in her nicole miller nyc wedding gown with a beautiful look pulled together by joann solomon beauty.

when i first spoke with jennifer and alex and found out that she had started her own biotechnology company, neurovation labs,  focused on developing diagnostics and treatments for ptsd and that alex was an anti-trust lawyer who deals with a lot of mergers and acquisitions, i knew they were a match made in heaven. jennifer told me that they met at a party and she told him one day he could help her when her biotech company gets bought out by one of the big pharmaceutical companies. i would pay attention to jennifer’s company, she is the kind of woman that gets things done. oddly enough, i like investing in small biotechnology companies with the ultimate goal of a buy-out so i’ll be keeping my eye on jennifer’s company for sure!Brotherhood Winery elegant wedding with Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer Michelle Arlotta

we shortened the coverage of their day a bit to best accommodate their needs, but i was glad i was still able to grab some images from jennifer’s bridal prep…joann Solomon beauty applies make-up for an elegant look for a Hudson valley ny bridebridesmaid in red robe during prepjoann Solomon applies make-up for an elegant look for a Hudson valley ny bride

i have to laugh because at the same time i was saying to my assistant that i love how jennifer was so ‘no-nonsense’ like me, she was saying to alex how she loved how i was so much like her in that aspect. i tend to attract a lot of brides who are intelligent women that know how to make things happen and aren’t afraid to speak up.elegant bride in nicole miller NYC wedding gown and groom in tuxedo at brotherhood winery wedding in washingontonville, ny by michelle Arlotta photographyelegant bride and groom at brotherhood winery wedding in the Hudson valley, ny by New Jersey wedding photographer michelle Arlotta photography

i’m not one to flood my blog with detail pictures. there are tons of blogs and instagram feeds filled with pictures of stuff and although i take pics of my client’s details, i like to emphasize images that have some kind of emotion or story behind them so i really loved this cake shot because it tells a story…elegant brotherhood winery wedding detail shot of wedding cake with groom wiping his mouth with napkin in the background with incredible caterersbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancing photographed by michelle Arlotta photographybrotherhood winery wedding reception guests dancing photographed by michelle Arlotta photographybrotherhood winery wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery Hudson valley wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancingbrotherhood winery elegant wedding reception guests dancingbride and groom in wine cellar at Hudson valley's brotherhood winery photographed by New Jersey wedding photographer michelle Arlottasuch a beautiful day for jennifer and alex’s elegant brotherhood winery wedding in the hudson valley of new york.  i loved the low key vibe coupled with the elegance and the love and laughter. thanks to joe spada for assisting me.
