i love annie sullivan & alder manor

We did a very sweet romantic ceremony at Alder Manor this past month for couture bridal designer Annie Sullivan.  The photo here is one of Annie's designs and she promised to forward us photos for our blog of her stunning gown when she returns from her honeymoon in Morocco.  http://www.annie-sullivan.com/

We will also keep you posted as Annie's wedding is being featured in MARTHA STEWART WEDDINGS.

Alder Manor remains one of my favorite wedding spots with it's gorgeous grounds and shabby chic mansion, that boasts over 70 rooms plus an indoor pool.  It was used for location shoots of "A Beautiful Mind", "The Royal Tanenbaums", "Mona Lisa Smiles", "Crododile Dundee" and a 2009 Victoria Secret's Shoot!

Annie's romantic, retro style was perfect in this setting and she walked down the aisle to our arrangement of THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU with string quartet, ukelele & voice.  Her good friend Matthew Brookshire was featured on ukelele and vocal.  It was a pleasure to work with Matthew who has an amazing voice and who you all might know from his alt-hit song "I can see Russia from Alaska (when I look in your eyes)"  http://www.matthewbrookshire.com/music-8.html 

I can't wait for Annie's photos!  Here are mine in the meantime.
