Factory 220 Wedding

Factory 220 Wedding:  Angelina + Stacey

I remembered my consultation with Angelina and Stacey in back in December of 2015.  Angelina’s last question to me was:  “So what are most of your clients like?”  My response was:  “A lot of my clients seem to have an artistic side to them, most of them certainly seem to have a strong love and appreciation for art and photography.”  Unbeknownst to me back then was that Angelina had a background in the visual arts!

It all began in grade school for these two as they actually went to the same K-8 Catholic school.  They were a year a part, grade wise, but Stacey became best friends with Angelina’s cousin.  They grew up ten minutes away from each other but their lives would take on different paths.  Angelina went on to pursue a career in education whereas Stacey became a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army. They were reunited  in 2012 thanks to an introduction from Angelina’s cousin.  When they were dating, they frequently met up at the historic Hoboken train station as their rendezvous point.  The Hoboken train station was where we photographed their engagement session back in June.

They’ve been happily together since 2012 and some of their favorite activities include traveling and eating out.  They’ll be spending their honeymoon in Italy in part because Stacey’s favorite food is pizza and Angelina loves pasta. In particular, they plan on visiting Cinque Terre, a beautiful fishing village on the Italian Riviera with really colorful buildings on the seaside and then on to Tuscany for the legendary Florentine steak.
I wish them so much joy and happiness in their new lives together!!
I can’t thank my good friend and second photographer Aaron Morris enough for being part of this day and taking some amazing photographs!!!

City Winery New York City Wedding

City Winery New York City Wedding:  Stephanie + Stephen

Both Stephanie and Stephen have been together for ten years and they finally got married on a beautiful Memorial Day weekend at the City Winery in New York City.  Stephanie and Stephen, both Manhattanites, had their engagement session a month earlier in East Hampton where they like spending their weekends.  You can often tell how special a couple is by how far their friends and family members are willing to travel to attend a wedding.  Indeed, Stephanie and Stephen had many friends and family members fly in from all around the world to take part in their celebration.

Stephanie and her bridesmaids got ready at the luxurious Trump SoHo Hotel and Spa in downtown Manhattan while Stephen and his groomsmen got ready at the City Winery.  Stephanie is enormously talented, she showed off her artistry and style in designing not only the Chuppah but also the floral backdrop, escort cards (each with the guest’s photo…who does that???), and candy station.  This bride can just about do it all –  look out wedding industry!

It was such a great honor to have been their wedding photographer!

Special thanks to my friend and enormously talented photographer Aaron Morris for being an amazing additional photographer and Ashley Peraino for coordinating the wedding.  Makeup artist:  Siobhan Uryevick

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!

The Foundry, Long Island City Wedding: Robin and Braden

I knew there was something very special about both Robin and Braden – they booked me the day my son was born! Both Robin and Braden are both devout foodies who love traveling and adventure.  I got to know them better during their engagement shoot shortly before their wedding and I was immediately drawn to Robin’s charisma and energy as well as Braden’s vast knowledge of food and history.

Both Robin and Braden have friends and family travel to their wedding from different parts of the world including Brazil and Japan – it was certainly a wedding worth traveling across the globe for.  The wedding, which took place at the beautifully industrial venue, The Foundry (in Long Island City) was among the most colorfully adorned weddings I have covered. Floral decorations were exotic tropical flowers and fruits that included ginger flowers, baby pineapples, and baby bananas.

But even without the beautiful venue and adornments, the energy and love shared by these two during their wedding day were strongly felt by everyone.  One of the speeches made during the toast summed up their relationship perfectly:  “Robin is a musician and she has an appreciation for jazz comprised of exotic staccatos and beats – a type of jazz that only Braden can play.” (based on my memory).

Special thanks to Joseph Victor Stefanchik (whom I consider my mentor) for traveling all the way from Florida to second shoot this remarkable wedding with me.

The Press Lounge Wedding

The Press Lounge Wedding:  Jenny + Eugene

Jenny and Eugene have finally fulfilled their dream wedding which took place at The Press Lounge – which is the rooftop deck of the Ink48 hotel complete with breathtaking vistas of the Manhattan skyline.  They couldn’t have asked for anything more from mother nature as it was a perfectly beautiful sunny day in the mid 80’s.  Both Jenny and Eugene got ready at the same hotel (in different rooms of course).  After they finished their respective “getting ready” sessions, they shared a beautiful first look moment at the lobby of the hotel.  Afterwards, we called Uber and headed off to The Highline for some portraits with the bridal party.   The ceremony and reception were both held on the outdoor deck of the The Press Lounge where the new couple had both a traditional western ceremony and a Korean tea ceremony.  Both Jenny and Eugene looked stunning in their colorful “Hanboks” (traditional Korean outfits).  The ceremonies were followed by an amazing reception with lots of dancing and memorable moments.

A BIG thank you to my friend and super talented photographer Aaron Morris for second shooting with me on this amazing day.

Enough talking, please enjoy the photos!
