Christine and Adam planned their wedding in two months. That’s right: they didn’t even book Craig until a week before the event. But you would never know by looking at it that they hadn’t spent months and months thinking about every little detail. They were married at the Glasshouses which is a really cool loft-style location on the West side of Manhattan. They kept things simple but elegant. But really, do you need a lot of decoration when you have a view like that?
Sloan and Patrick had a lovely, intimate commitment ceremony in December, just before the holidays. Before the ceremony, this dashing couple and their handsome dog, Aragorn, went with Michael over to the West side of Manhattan for some fun couples portraits. I just love the picture of the three of them running across the cobblestones, laughing. For their ceremony and reception they kept their guest list small, but were big on style. It was the perfect way to celebrate two people’s love for each other: a wonderful winter dinner surrounded by family and friends.
Janice and Paul started their day at the Cooper Square Hotel which is a beautiful new hotel in Manhattan’s Cooper Square, followed by a lovely evening reception at The Foundry in Long Island City. Janice and Paul were lucky enough to have one of the best looking wedding parties we have seen and they were also some of the most fun. They were totally game for whatever we threw at them, including marching around the park without coats in the freezing cold. In fact, they christened us the “Super Pro Photo-tographers” (yup, that’s spelled right), a title which we are proud to take on.
Kerry and Devin are certainly a couple who made their wedding day their own. They were married in New Jersey at the Bonnet Island Estate and they had the guests release orange and black monarch butterflies once they arrived at the reception
Although a wedding purports to be about the union of a couple, in a lot of ways it’s also about the union of their families, for better or for worse. As intimidating as that can be, it often works out really well, and in the case of Lauren and Jose their families seemed to want to do whatever they could to make the whole day a wonderful experience for everyone
We are so excited because this weekend we have no weddings or family shoots scheduled. Everyone has the weekend free and will be taking much needed days off. Yup, that’s right: days (plural) off. The anticipation is so much that we are all trying to get out early to properly extend our days away from work but before I go, I want to get these images for Jen and Brad up on the blog
It’s so exciting that we actually have two very different weddings in a row at the same location: the New York Botanical Garden. Lauren and Brian had a very intimate affair at the Stone Mill which is a National Historic Landmark on the property of the Botanical Gardens.
We love wedding details: flowers, shoes, favors and all the other things that couples use to make their day beautiful and unique. Sometimes though you have a location that does more for the look of your wedding than any set of details and that’s the case with Ilana and Michael’s wedding at the New York Botanical Garden
