Something we discovered on our ‘working’ vacation…
September 5, 2009 | Filed Under Uncategorized
We escaped to the Finger Lakes area of New York last week for a mini ‘working’ vacation. Our dad has a vacation house on Keuka Lake, so during the past few years, we have not only become familiar with the numerous wineries, but both local towns – Hammondsport and Bath. The primary purpose of our trip was to seclude ourselves from the hustle and bustle that our studio has become so that we could finish our new website (we came close – but still not quite there). The secondary purpose of our trip was to meet with some of the local wedding vendors and popular ceremony sites as we have toyed with the idea of expanding our business to that market. All in all it was a great trip – we had great weather – great meetings – great focus…and my dad even decided to tag along like old times! The highlight of the trip however, was our discovery of the First Presbytarian Church in Bath, NY. As many times as we have driven past this church, I never realized how truly special it is! You see, it is one of 5 churches whose sanctuary was designed by Lewis Comfort Tiffany who is best known for his work in stained glass. Talk about amazing!!! This church is not only a local favorite for brides but a tourist attraction as well! Tours are held every Wednesday – and are absolutely worth making the trip for if you are ever in the Keuka or Seneca Lake area. Here are a few pictures….
This beautiful church is located in the town square.

This circular rose window was made with irridescent favrile glass.
This crown-style chandelier is a prized piece which won awards before being used in the church
There are two of these acorn shaped lamps which were originally gas lit!
