The Rustic Elegance of Sydney & Ben’s Fall Wooded Wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse

Sydney and Ben’s spectacular fall wedding was a breathtaking celebration of nature, love, and rustic luxury tucked away in the scenic landscapes of Upstate New York. Held at the iconic Gilbertsville Farmhouse, the entire day perfectly blended a relaxed, organic atmosphere with deeply meaningful traditions. As a premier NY wedding videographer, our team at Fairytale Studio was absolutely thrilled to capture the unique, cinematic magic of this vibrant farm estate celebration, documenting every emotional chapter of their beautiful love story.

The heart of the day unfolded with an awe-inspiring, romantic outdoor ceremony set deep within the woods. Surrounded by a majestic forest canopy, towering trees, and a peaceful silence that only nature can provide, Sydney and Ben exchanged their vows under a beautiful chuppah for their traditional Jewish wedding. The crisp autumn air and the warm, golden fall sunlight filtering through the leaves created an editorial, fairy-tale backdrop for our cameras. Adding an incredibly sweet and personal touch to the day, their beloved dogs were included in the wedding party, proudly joining them in the forest as they took their first steps together as husband and wife.

Following the emotional ceremony, the celebration transitioned to the venue’s magnificent rustic barn for a high-energy reception. The massive timber structure combined old-world farm charm with sophisticated luxury, creating a vibrant space where family and friends gathered to celebrate. From the heartwarming toasts to the traditional, joyous dance floor moments, the room was charged with an electric energy. Guests also had the unique opportunity to interact with the farmhouse’s resident farm animals, adding an unforgettable layer of rustic fun to the entire experience.

I have started the season with a February wedding. It was at the Battery Gardens, the tip of Manhattan Island in Battery Park, right in front Lady Liberty. Fantastic location, with amazing views with plenty of photo opportunities.
Julia was getting ready in the Wagner hotel (formally the Ritz). Again the spectacular views. Plus the famous NYC light, coming though the windows. You don’t get this anywhere else. Must be the tall building reflecting light and creating unique shadows.
We were lucky it was as perfect day for February as you can hope for, 40 and sunny. We went to the Wall street, got very cool subway shots and I love the silhouette images with the Statue.

Venue: Battery Gardens, Michele Cavallero (I want to do another wedding here!)
Dress: Martina Liana
DJ: Douglas James Entertainment (so fun!)
