Justin + Sarah | A Wedding at the Tug Hill Estate

July 26, 2022

Happy Tuesday, Friends!  I’ve had a much needed (little) break from weddings, but now we’re back at it and I’m ready to finish out the last half the season!

I’m excited to share Justin + Sarah’s big day with you all!  Some of the faces in the following images may look a little familiar!  Justin is the brother to one of my past brides, and Sarah is the sister to one of my past grooms! I really enjoy all these family connections!

The day started early on Friday morning!  7am to be exact!  Early enough that I drove all the way to Dunkin without my wallet….

When I arrived, I was greeted by the wonderful staff at the Tug Hill Estate!  The venue is minutes away from my home, so I always feel as if I’m just spending time with neighbors!

Everything was stunning.

The groomsmen arrived a little early to set up the tables, with the help of the staff.

Justin and his groomsmen got ready downstairs in the lounge!  I had the privilege of taking these photos because Nichole, the real MVP, offered to go and get me coffee and a breakfast sandwich!

Sarah and the ladies got ready in the loft!  Her Mom and stepmom helped her get in her dress!

Justin + Sarah decided to have a first look before the ceremony.  Sarah had some gifts she wanted to share with Justin!

They have had a long distance relationship for quite a while.  Wedding days seem extra special when long distance FINALLY comes to an end!  Sara gave Justin a book of letters she had been writing which was extra sweet!

One last photo before they’re Mr. + Mrs!

It’s ceremony time!  If you live in Upstate NY, you know we’ve had extra hot temperatures lately.  If you know me, you know that I hate that. 🙃 Thankfully, there was a little bit of shade on the ground from one of the wine barrels in the back that Nikki and I could fight over!

Mr. + Mrs. Justin + Sarah Steckly!

10/10 recommend a rose petal exit 😍

Family photos!

The sweet nieces!

A quick shout out to Nichole of Nichole Danielle Photography for helping me capture this day!

Shout out to the guests who knew how to cut up the cake!

Does anyone remember the “Bunnies” from recent weddings?!!

They ended the day with a bubble exit!  So fun!

Congratulations, Justin + Sarah!  Your wedding day was absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time with your family and friends! Love + Best wishes as you start this next chapter TOGETHER!
