Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley

Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley

On October 23, 2010 Elizabeth and Scott Martin were married on the gorgeous grounds of the Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley, NY, located just at the base of the majestic Ramapo Mountains in upstate New York.  In my tens years of photographing weddings in and around the Dutchess County area, I’ve found few places that can dare to compare to the peace and natural tranquility that the Falkirk Estate and Country Club has to offer.  Not only is it an absolutely beautiful place, with photo friendly decor that makes my job really easy, but it’s also practically brand new, because Wayne Corts and his staff recently finished making multi million dollar updates to the indoor reception hall as well as the terrace and outdoor ceremony site.

In late October Elizabeth and Scott had their choice of either the outdoor or indoor ceremony site and both would have been picture perfect, because the grounds are beautiful, but, because their early morning (11am) ceremony time still left the air a little chilly, Elizabeth and Scott chose to have their ceremony indoors.

Looking at the photos from the ceremony, I love the way the floor to ceiling windows at the Falkirk Estate allow so much light in that it looks as if the bride and groom are being bathed in it as they stand at the alter.  To officiate the ceremony, Elizabeth and Scott chose their dear friend and pastor Timothy Chicola from the Crossing Church in Livingston, NJ, after which, they and their guests danced the night away to the music of non other than Jimmy Lutz from Lutz Entertainment.  And when he went home, they all went downstairs and partied some more in their private bar and lounge.
