Tag Archives: New York City Wedding
It’s July 5th and there are still more fireworks going off in the New York City skyline!
Megan and Sean were eye candy to photograph on their wedding day as they’re both not only beautiful but have lovable personalities to match. I got to know them quite well as we had two engagement sessions together and we had a blast on each occasion (first and second). Both are amazing athletes; Sean is an avid water polo player and Megan is a phenomenal triathlete – I’ll tell you why later. I really fell in love with this couple as they treated me like family and they even invited me to the rehearsal dinner under the condition that I leave my cameras at home.
“Getting ready” took place at the spectacular Hilton Millenium Hotel in the financial district and we took the ferry to Maritime Parc, a beautiful venue, located in Liberty State Park. On the way to the ferry station, the two did an unforgettable first look at the walkway behind the Conrad Hotel. Both the ceremony and reception were spectacular – filled with so much joy and celebration. I will miss photographing these two but I’m sure I’ll find another occasion to photograph them. After the reception, we boarded a private ferry that took us near the Statue of Liberty, Megan pointed to the water and said “You know I swam here at a competition just a few years ago” – my jaw dropped.
Congratulations guys and enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!
Special thanks to Kevin Ferguson and Daria Wheaton for the fantastic assistance and second shooting.
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!

I shot another destination wedding yesterday…here in New York City. It was Janet and Wes that came up from Florida to get married here in the Big Apple. More to come!
It almost seems as if everyday in June was met with torrential downpours but what a beautiful day it turned out to be for both Allison and Jahaziel. I had so much fun documenting this soft-spoken couple’s wedding which was filled with so much emotion and festivities. The music and dancing were off-the-charts fun – yes, even I was a bit tempted to strut some moves but I did manage to keep my composure.
Congratulations!
Great pictures!
beautiful!
Congratulations David and Anita! A wedding and a week of vacation in Grand Cayman is definitely something I wish I could do more often. What a joy it was meeting their friends and family and taking part in the activities. There was also a spooky encounter of the paranormal kind in one of our condo rooms – but I won’t delve too much into that. I guess I could describe Anita and David’s wedding as nothing but supernatural in that everything went so amazingly well – the notoriously fickle tropical weather held up during the ceremony and reception when the forecast called for rain and we were also treated to a free fireworks show during the reception.
