Ann and Kevin’s Wedding – Reid Castle at Manhattanville College, Purchase, NY 24 Nov 2016 7:14 AM (8 years ago)
You can’t get much better than a stunning blue wedding dress, especially with the backdrop of a medieval castle! Ann and Kevin’s wedding was such a gorgeous and fun celebration on a perfect fall day. It really came through how much time and effort they put into the little details of their day! I especially loved the handfasting/loving cup ceremony they decided to include in order to celebrate their shared heritage. I had the pleasure of meeting Ann and Kevin through Ann’s sister, Liz (a previous bride and fellow Village Lions rugby alum!) and I knew their wedding was going to be a blast after hearing that Kevin is a huge Star Wars fan 
I had to bring along a few Star Wars props for their photobooth (photobooth pics here!), and they broke out their light sabers for it, too! My most heartfelt congratulations go to Ann & Kevin. I had so much fun documenting your wedding day!

Montauk, NY – Kristine and Marcus’s Beach Wedding and Bonfire at Gurney’s Inn 10 Oct 2014 3:14 PM (10 years ago)
Kristine and Marcus are definitely beach lovers (which I found out at our engagement session last year!) and their wedding day was all about fun at the beach! They chose Gurney’s Inn in Montauk for their celebration, which couldn’t have been more perfect. The day was beautiful and we lucked out with one of the most gorgeous sunsets of the year! Not only that, but they had a bonfire afterparty down on the sand, complete with s’mores
Kristine picked her dress because the ruffles at the bottom look like scallop shells! It looked so gorgeous on her.
Love this shot of Marcus by my awesome second shooter, Emily DeWan!
The paper lanterns set up all along the aisle were a really cute and colorful touch
I couldn’t get enough of the sunset! Kristine and Marcus tore themselves away from the reception for a minute so we could get these sunset shots, and I’m so glad they did
The aqua blue and white reception details were lovely, with orchids and sea glass in the centerpiece candles.
The DJs kept the party going all night long! They played a huge variety of music, with lots of salsa dancing in the mix.
Dreesen’s Donuts for wedding favors — a Hamptons classic!
The bonfire was huge and the guests had a great time making s’mores
Congratulations again to Kristine and Marcus on a beautiful wedding and many years of happiness to come! xo

New York, NY – Jenny and Duncan’s Romantic Central Park & Wythe Hotel Wedding 23 Sep 2014 3:15 PM (10 years ago)
Jenny and Duncan were married in an incredibly sweet, intimate ceremony in the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. I had such a fun time documenting their wedding, especially because there were so many unique touches that they added to the celebration — not least of which was the ferry ride from Manhattan to Williamsburg along with all of the wedding guests!
Jenny got ready at the Wythe Hotel, a gorgeous converted factory near the waterfront in Williamsburg. They held the reception there too, in the private dining room at Reynard.
Jenny hired a vintage Rolls Royce to travel from the Wythe Hotel to Central Park. I love the classic look (and I got to ride in the front! So fun, but a bit nerve wracking with no seatbelts!)
Their lovely ceremony was held in the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. Another personal touch — their programs could be used as fans
This was one of my favorite parts of the whole day — Jenny and Duncan snuck away together for a minute after the ceremony. The pure joy and happiness of the moment was all over their faces!
I loved the soft, garden fresh feeling of her bouquet, not to mention her dress! The sheer details at the neckline are so perfect.
Central Park wedding, Abbey Road style
Another shot from the ferry ride to Brooklyn! The kids in attendance were having fun with some confetti
Jenny and Duncan found this cool mural on the walk over from the ferry to the hotel! Very NYC Of course we had to take a few shots with it.
Their reception at Reynard was the perfect finish to the celebration. Since the Wythe Hotel is a converted factory, the private dining room displays all of the original exposed brick with the factory markings, making for a really unique and beautiful atmosphere.
Many congratulations to Jenny and Duncan! I had such a great time celebrating with you and wish you both all the best! xo

Teresa and Rick’s beach wedding at Gurney’s Inn in Montauk was such a happy, loving and wonderful celebration The atmosphere surrounding these two wonderful people was so warm and caring, it was easy to see how much love and light they bring to everyone around them. They had a perfect beach day for their celebration!
Their ceremony on the beach was not only lovely, but really sweet and personal. A close friend was the officiant, and other close friends gave funny and touching readings. Rick’s daughter Bettina joined in for a sand ceremony, officially bringing them all together as a family.
Loved the beachy sand dollar placecards!
I’ve never seen an officiant enter the reception with a flip before It was pretty spectacular!
Everyone had so much fun on the dance floor! Frankie from Fourth Generation DJs was great at entertaining the crowd.
I also set up my photobooth, always lots of fun!
Congratulations to Teresa and Rick! Best wishes for a wonderful life together

SoHo, NYC – Emily and Anne’s Wedding at the Housing Works Bookstore 17 Jul 2014 7:10 AM (10 years ago)
I can’t imagine a more heartfelt and moving wedding ceremony than these two wonderful women shared! It was such an honor to be part of their wedding day and to witness their love and continued commitment to each other. They have been together for 25 years, and their lovely daughter is a testament to how strong their relationship is and how loving and caring they must be as parents.
Here are the brides with their daughter!
One of the things I loved most about their wedding day was how much care and consideration went into every facet of the day, with help from the amazing Viva of Viva Max Weddings. One of my favorite details was Emily’s bouquet, with flowers made completely from the pages of books.
They were surrounded by books during their beautiful ceremony at the Housing Works Bookstore
Lavender was Emily’s mother’s favorite flower, so they had gorgeous fresh lavender everywhere!
Monsieur Singh Lassi provided the amazingly delicious lassi pops — served from a bicycle! It was a really cute part of the reception.
Congratulations and many more years of happiness to Emily and Anne!
