Serah + Min | Wedding

I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot for Robert Wagner a little while ago, for Serah and Min’s NYC wedding. It was such a great experience and the day went so smoothly. I have never seen a wedding couple laugh as much as Serah and Min and they were just so easy to hang around with. It was a gorgeous day and all the venues were so beautiful and in true sophisticated New York style. I loved every second of this wedding and Serah and Min are just so perfect for each other. Many thanks to Robert for letting me tag along and help him out on these photos – truly some of my favorite images in my wedding experience were created on this day…see below! I really loved all the photos with Serah and Min laughing – so happy! Enjoy…(there are a lot!).

Central Park – portraits time!

We happened to walk right through Salute to Israel parade on 5th Avenue in order to get to the church…the whole crowd was cheering for Serah and Min and yelling “Mazel Tov!”. It was so great!

Nicole + Justin | Wedding

Nicole and Justin are married! A few weeks ago I traveled back to the midwest where I partly grew up, to shoot Nicole and Justin’s beachy, sweet wedding on the shores of Lake Michigan. Being out in nyc for a while has made me forget how beautiful it is out there and how wonderful Lake Michigan is. The area is so quaint, peaceful and pretty…much like the day that Nicole and Justin got married. These two are so vibrant and full of energy and love. The day went off without a hitch even though the rain sidetracked us a bit – but the newly married couple didn’t bat an eyelash. I was so happy to be their photographer and let me tell you, this huge bridal party new how to party! Congratulations Nicole and Justin – and here are some of my favorite photos…

Here is the cute little salon that Nicole and her bridal party started the day at…

Nicole and Justin opted for a ‘First Look’. This means they saw each other before the ceremony, but it’s a great idea for brides/grooms because it allows you to spend some rare moments alone with each other when you first see each other. It is a very special and private moment, and I love being able to capture true emotions so closely. Having a first look also allows for more portrait time for the bride/groom…which worked out really well for Nicole and Justin…just see below…

Jean & Michael | Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Jean and Michael’s wedding in New York City. They are so in love and so beautiful together. I had such a great time with their families and it truly was a party to remember. Jeanie was so stunning and radiant in her beautiful gown and matching headpiece. They were both smiling all day long and I was just so happy to be able to meet them and be their photographer! Jeanie and Michael – Congratulations and I hope you had a great time on your honeymoon! Now…on to some of my favorite photos…

Special thanks to Autumn and Stephane for helping me out at this wedding and getting some great shots!

I loved the embroidery on Jeanie’s dress…it was so elegant!
