Blended.

{Heather + Joseph}

Hudson, NY.

Heather and Joseph’s wedding included so many quintessential fall elements: the yellow, orange and reds of changing leaves, rustic touches in the barn reception with a farm to table themed menu. Many couples’ focus is, naturally, on themselves and their union. In this case, the union solidifies a family of three, as Heather officially becomes a stepmother to her husband’s son and the blending of families completed. As the studio manager for Cliff Mautner Photography, I too am a stepmother, whose name also happens to be Heather! I’m always so happy to witness the relationship between stepparents and their stepchildren, especially on the wedding day. The definition of family comes in many iterations and the love between Heather and her stepson is evident, especially in their dance together.
