This is a very special couple.  Wes and Janet are high school sweethearts and they’ve been dating for more than thirteen years before finally making the big jump.  The spritely couple from Florida decided to have their wedding here in the Big Apple.  Their wedding day started with getting ready at the beautiful Eventi Hotel in midtown.  Both Janet and Wes left it in our hands to be able to exchange letters and wedding gifts – but without seeing each other before the ceremony.  We had our work cut out to set this up and document the beautiful moments that unfolded.

The ceremony took place on the roof of the Midtown Loft and Terrace which offers amazing views of the city – especially the Empire State Building. Following the ceremony, we had some time to take a few memorable portraits at some key New York City landmarks such as the Flat Iron building and Grand Central Station before heading out to Flushing, Queens for the reception at Mulan Restaurant.

I was so fortunate to have world renown documentary film maker and photographer as well as ICP instructor Andre Lambertson to second shoot some amazing moments.  Also, it was a treat to try an amazing cake made by my friend and master cake maker Judy Lai at Silk Cakes.

Congratulations, Wes and Janet and thank you so much for having me document your wedding day!
