Love, Weddings and Food
August 26, 2011
Earlier this summer I photographed a friend’s wedding at her family farm in Upstate New York. Going along with the whole rustic outdoor theme, she styled the decor and menu accordingly. Catered by L.M. Townsend based out of Cooperstown, the buffet style dining featured make your own salads and edible bowls. The presentation was lovely, and one of my favorite ideas– taking extra martini glasses, and transitioning them into the perfect dish to eat your side of potatoes in style.

Gazing out my office window at the sunshine, I desperately want to rewind back to my relaxing weekend lunch in the back garden at Homespun Foods in Beacon. A quaint little dining retreat in town, the staff was welcoming and the food produced locally including cage-free eggs from Feather Ridge Farm, grass-fed beef from Bittersweet Farm, Wallkill smoked salmon and Murray’s poultry. Top on my list was most likely the cheddar cheese sandwich with cranberry apple chutney, definitely easy enough to repeat at home, and the baba ganoosh had me going back for seconds as well.
