I’m sad that we’ve come to the last installment of this amazingly classy and sleek wedding, but have lots of fun party and detail shots to share with you today.

The beautiful bride and handsome groom.

A bunch of details from the reception which was held at the lovely Eleven Madison Park. Some friends and family to help celebrate the day. A little help from her sisters with mom looking on. Zoraida did a wonderful job as my second shooter- thanks Z! She made my work go smoothly and it was great working with her. I was torturing the mother of the bride with photos, so it was her turn to get back at me!Ring shot (at least there was not a second story balcony for them to roll off of this time, right?) and the flowers on the right are actually all the handmade ones on the cake. Amazing detail. The toasts. And the whole group.

Jessica & Ian it was such a pleasure working with you. I enjoyed your wedding so very much and I hope you love all the photos. You are wonderful and I wish you only happiness and love in your new life together.

So, it was like the hottest day. Ever, I think. It was close to 100 degrees with matching humidity readings. But I have the very best brides and grooms, ever, I think, and they did all they could to pull off a perfect portrait session. And pulled it off they did. A lot.

I loooooooved the checkered cab. Made for fabulous pictures and it was just plain cool.

Handsome groom. With thoughts of a dirty water dog before dinner, perhaps. Their ‘baby’ Charlie the dog stopped by for a little lovin and some pictures too. How cute is he?The shot on the left was fun- stopping traffic (well, NYC traffic doesn’t exactly stop- they just went around us, with horns blasting) to get the shot. This lovely lady is Ian’s 95 year old grandmother. Isn’t she fabulous?!  And really does not look close to 95. Love the guy in the background snapping a picture too. I sat down on the dark cement to get the shot on the right and seriously burnt my butt it was SO hot. Favorite- so something 1960’s classic about this one.  Reception to follow shortly. Stay tuned.

At a beautiful church in the Village. With an old school NYC checker cab. With a beautiful bride and handsome groom. And lots of family and friends in attendance. What else is there?

Love Jessica’s expression here on seeeing Ian. Watching his bride come down the aisle.
And, they’re married!! I even got to sign the marriage license (see, full service photography!). Portraits up next. Maybe early next week.

I was very busy with super fabulous weddings the first half of this year, and this was one definitely no exception. Jessica found me thru some mutual friends of her sister and brother in law and I was so excited to capture her wonderfully special day all over downtown NYC.

We first met at the Grammercy Park Hotel where Jessica was getting ready and where the rest of her family and some friends met up.

What a beautiful bride!! I loved, loved, LOVED her dress and cathedral length veil.

Sisters. Fabulousness.
Stay tuned for the next installment of Jessica & Ian’s wedding- the ceremony. Tomorrow.

A super fun and crazy wedding I shot earlier this summer. I know the bride and groom are waiting patiently for their pictures, so here’s one tiny sneak peek. More to come soon…
