Charissa & Andrew’s Fall Wedding at Windham Manor
A ceremony beneath the pines, Catskills sunset portraits, and an evening celebration inside Windham Manor’s Barn.
The Complete Story
A fall wedding moving from the Manor House to the forest and Barn.
On October 26, 2024, Charissa and Andrew celebrated at Windham Manor in Windham, New York. Their day moved from wedding-party preparation at the Manor House to a ceremony in the Enchanted Forest, sunset portraits across the property, and a reception inside the Barn. BlackTie Brothers documented the story in photography and film.
Chapter One
Getting Ready at the Manor House
The Victorian Manor House gave the couple and wedding party space to prepare on site. The photographs pair quiet indoor moments with window-light portraits and the couple’s first look, bringing the late-October Catskills landscape into the beginning of the story.
Chapter Two
A Ceremony in the Enchanted Forest
A short wooded path leads to the Enchanted Forest, where wooden benches sit among tall pines beside a brook. Charissa and Andrew married there surrounded by family and friends, with the forest creating a secluded, natural setting for the ceremony.
Chapter Three
Sunset Portraits Across the Property
After the ceremony, we used the forest paths, open views, and a vintage teal vehicle for portraits. As daylight faded, the visual story shifted from the earthy tones of the forest to warm sunset color across the Catskills landscape.
Chapter Four
A Warm Reception Inside the Barn
Inside the Barn, orange and green florals, warm timber, and the grand stone fireplace framed the reception. The couple’s illuminated “Til Death” sign above the sweetheart table created a personal focal point while preserving the character of the room.
Live strings, speeches, first dances, and a packed dance floor carried the celebration into the night. The finished gallery moves between close reactions, meaningful details, and wide views of the celebration inside the Barn.

How We Work
Photography and Film at Windham Manor
Windham Manor gives a photo-and-film team several distinct environments on one property: preparation and first-look scenes at the House, a shaded forest ceremony, open views for sunset portraits, and warm low-light reception coverage in the Barn.
We plan around those transitions so the final photographs and film feel like one connected story.
