It was hot day in August but it was a great day for a wedding.  Surrounded by family and friends  Caryn and Irwan had a very intimate and fun wedding in the backyard of Caryn’s parents’ house.  The ceremony was full of little surprises…from Caryn’s dad giving Irwan a high five and a hip bump before giving Caryn away, to their officiant using huge notes to help him through the ceremony.

I highly recommend my brides to have a friend or family member be the officiant for their ceremony.  It makes the ceremony more personal.  Caryn’s brother in-law was the officiant for their wedding.  The ceremony was full of cute little stories and funny stories about the couple.

A quick ring polish before Irwan puts the ring on Caryn’s finger.

Caryn and Irwan had their reception at the Plumed Horse in Saratoga. Check out this wine room !


What a great host! Irwan made sure his guests had a great time dancing when he was the DJ for part of the night.
