This was taken at Sharagim + Sean’s wedding at Whitby Castle in Rye, NY–which is one of my favorite venues.

Here’s what the castle (one of only a few in Westchester County where you can have a wedding) looks like from the outside.

Although the forecast had some of us concerned (it originally called for a northeaster to hit in the afternoon) , the weather held up and was totally great.
