Stone Fruit Studio | Anniversary Session

A dreamy anniversary session on top of Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid captured on film.

Stone Fruit Studio is both a brand and a person, and one that you should get to know now. We worked together on a few weddings before I brought them on board to create the design and paper goods for my 2019 Workshop. Not only did she knock the design, watercolor, book making and velvet stamping out of the park (she really can do it all), she modeled for me.

Who is Stone Fruit Studio?

Stone Fruit Studio is the creative genius of Maureen Higgins who together with Alex from Floating Home Films have made Rochester, New York home.

Generously stepping in front of the camera for anniversary photos on Whiteface allowed us to photograph two couples. Our bride and groom were nearby, and Maureen and Alex simultaneously captured portraits on top of Whiteface. I love providing more content to capture for my attendees while we were on location.

I often try a double exposure at portrait sessions and this time I captured 4 total. I loved the way most of them came out, and waiting for the film to come back is even more exciting when you aren’t exactly sure how it will turn out.

A classic Cape Cod wedding never goes out of style, especially at the Kittansett Club.

A Chautauqua wedding is stunning no matter the size. Karen and Walker pivoted to host the most amazing micro wedding at this historic American retreat.
