New York Wedding Photography - The Ashford Estate Wedding - Neena & Jordan

Weddings happens all four season of the year. Neena & Jordan decided to made it official this past fall.

Both the bride and groom got ready for their big day at the West Princeton at Forrestal Village, in New Jersey. Neena looked flawless, with the help of Valerie Weiss, and the team working at Beyond Beauty. She wore a gorgeous dress designed by the one and only Vera Wang. Neena's bouquet was absolutely beautiful, thanks to Tracy Taylor Ward Design. The handsome groom wore a custom tux by Zohreh. Before their lovely wedding ceremony, the bride and groom met up for the first looks. 

Their wedding ceremony and reception took place at the iconic wedding destination, The Ashford Estate. After some beautiful Jewish traditions, the newlyweds headed to the reception, where they celebrated with all their friends and family. The reception was filled with spectacular flowers and music provided by Hank Lane Music which kept people dancing all night. We had a wonderful time joining them on their special day. A huge thank you to Daulton Van Kuren at Tracy Taylor Ward Design for making this day so perfect.

New York Wedding Photography - A Newport Yacht Club & Marina Wedding - Meredith & Alex

We might be still in winter, but spring is close and what better time to dream of the perfect summer wedding with the perfect view? After the bride got ready at the Peacock Inn with her dearest by her side and the help of La Jolie Salon & Spa, Meredith & Alex enjoyed the excitement and thrill of the very first look. 

Designed with a classic vibe, Meredith & Alex celebrated their intimate ceremony at the Church of Saint Ann and made sure their seaside celebration at the Newport Yacht Club & Marina was as gorgeous as the view at the Manhattan Skyline. Hollywood Entertainment made sure of a great atmosphere on the boat and The Portable Garden filled the reception with beautiful flowers and details. Ny Boat Charter definitely offers a unique and inspiring alternative to catering hall, restaurant, and banquet hall style weddings and we had a blast capturing Meredith & Alex`s beautiful moments while dancing and dining as they gently cruised the New York Harbor in Lady Liberty’s Shadow with the backdrop of the sparkling New York Skyline.
