The Loeb Boathouse Central Park Wedding: Rosemary + Stephane

The Loeb Boathouse Central Park Wedding:  Rosemary + Stephane

It couldn’t have been a more perfect day for Rosemary and Stephane’s wedding at The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park – it was a beautiful autumn day rich with amazing light and color.  These two tennis fanatics (more on that later) got ready in their apartment in Chinatown and then made their way up Central Park but first stopped at their favorite watering hole, Top Hops Beer Shop in SoHo, for a much needed glass of IPA.

Stephane and Rosemary met while taking a tennis class at the National Tennis Center. This was also where they shared their first date and where Stephane asked Rosemary to be his wife. On the day he proposed, Stephane scheduled an hour of tennis for the two of them. He hid the ring inside a tennis ball and midway through their session, asked Rosemary to open a new can of tennis balls. While opening the new can, she noticed there was no pop to it. She also noticed an old tennis ball marked with a black X. Rosemary was so focused on the fact that they would need to call the manufacturer because of these defects, but then looked further and found a small cut in the ball with the X, and upon further inspection, a small zip lock bag inside with what looked like a prize. She realized when she opened it that it was a ring and was stunned. Stephane got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, to which she of course, said yes!

The day finally came and they fulfilled their dreams of getting having their perfect wedding at The Loeb Boathouse.

Special thanks to Josh Lynn for a great job second shooting!

New York Hall of Science Wedding

New York Hall of Science Wedding:  Julie + Henry

So electric was Julie and Henry’s wedding at the New York Hall of Science even Nikola Tesla would’ve been shocked. These guys worked quite hard in making this day happen – and I’m so thrilled to have been apart of it.  Kudos to Henry as he did a lot of the groundwork putting up the decor himself before wedding – I admire this guy!  The New York Hall of Science is an amazing place for a wedding – its ceremony hall is a new installation filled with large screen LED screens – one screen, in particular, simulates a waterfall.  During cocktail hour guests can go around the installation and have fun; there’s even a pitching cage with a radar gun!  During the reception, everyone no one held back as Henry and Julie’s friends and family danced up a storm and had a few surprises for the groom.  The photos will indeed tell that the story in an immersive way and will allow them to relive that day again and again.

Special thanks to my friend and amazing photographer Inku Yo for a wonderful job second shooting!

Doral Arrowwood Wedding

Doral Arrowwood Wedding:  Colleen + Eric

Colleen and Eric got married at beautiful Doral Arrowwood – they traveled all the way from Texas to get married up here in beautiful Rye Brook, New York. So maybe their wedding could be considered a destination wedding. Prior to their wedding, they flew up earlier this year (in May) for an engagement session in DUMBO, Brooklyn. These two were full of stunning surprises. Eric is a professional baritone and is a professionally trained Mezzo Soprano. Their family members and friends are also highly talented singers that have a reputation of bringing any crowd at Karaoke bars to its knees.  During the beginning of the reception, as they were about to commence their first dance, they picked up microphones and addressed the baffled crowd: “We don’t dance” they said nonchalantly.  The music background music starts playing and they start singing “The Prayer” as a duet that would have easily challenged Josh Grobane and Celine Dion. Everyone in the ballroom was driven to tears. Apparently, Colleen and Eric do dance and so do their friends (some amazing ballroom dancers). As I’m writing this, they just returned from their honeymoon in Costa Rica. My hope is that the images that I captured will help this beautiful duet relive their fairytale again and again.

Special thanks to my good friend and fellow Foundation classmate Jide Alakija who flew back from London to second shoot with me.  It wouldn’t have been possible without you my friend!
