Kate and Steve were the most low key couple I have ever had the pleasure of working with. All they wanted were cool portraits and to showcase the party with their friends, what else could you ask for? How about an amazing backdrop for their portraits (the hotel and rooftop of The Nolitan Hotel) and the coolest party space for their wedding (PUBLIC)? With Michelle Elaine Weddings filling the space with great details, I knew this one would be a lot of fun. Also a big thanks to Shannon Sturgis for covering this one with me and if you want to see more details and the rest of the vendors, check out the feature on Ruffled.
claire & eric / bienvenue
I love the classic and dark looks of Manhattan weddings, so Claire and Eric's party was right up my alley. From Claire's gorgeous dress to Eric's sharp tux, everything in between was magic. They were wed at the Millesime restaurant in the Carlton Hotel in Manhattan, which set the backdrop to the mood. A big thanks to Kat Harris for photographing this one with me.
jessie & mike / speaking of
What happens when you have laryngitis on your wedding day? You exude your emotions to your family, friends and husband-to-be with everything but your voice. While Jessie may have had a hard time vocalizing herself, you wouldn't even be able to tell through her smile. Thanks to Shannon Sturgis for being alongside me as well as Danielle and Will of Danfredo Photo + Films for making a dope video, which you can see at the end of the post. Also, a big thanks to Wedding Party for featuring Jessie and Mike's nuptials, check out their blog for more photos and details as well as their app for all your wedding day needs.
esti & patrick / a match made
I had met Esti and Patrick when I officially moved to New York back in 2011 via my old roommate (miss you Ha Na!) and I instantly knew they were an amazing couple and even better friends. Esti is the sweetest gal I've ever met and Patrick is one of the funniest dudes, you can't not hang out with them without dying laughing. So they'll be getting married next month and sadly I won't be able to attend (as I have a wedding in Los Angeles) but I thought what better present then to do an engagement shoot? So we did what we normally do, walk around Brooklyn and go to the bar but this time with camera in hand.
christina & adam / serendipitous
When your wedding ends with a piñata full of mini alcohol and candy, you know the rest of the day was a dream. Enjoy the gorgeousness that was Christina and Adam's day at the Ham House in upstate New York. We had a little rain during the middle of the portrait session but you know that means good luck. A big thanks to Justin Duplantis for providing the 2nd set of eyes.
