AQUA AZUL WEDDING | MANHATTAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Nicole and Philip got married on Aqua Azul Yacht in Manhattan last month. For getting ready, Nicole chose the charming Highline Hotel in Chelsea. Thats where the couple had their first look also. We explored the couple's favorite neighborhood of Chelsea for some Bride and Groom and Bridal Party Portraits before getting on the boat for their stunning ceremony on the top deck. For next 4 hours, we sailed on Hudson through the beautiful Manhattan Skyline, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty as the rest of the wedding festivities continued. A perfect wedding day for the most kind hearted and beautiful souls I know. It was an honor to be a part of it.

GREENTREE COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING | NEW ROCHELLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Lucille and Jeffrey are two of the most laid back and down to earth people I know. I had the privilege of documenting their beautiful engagement in Liberty State Park in the spring and their wedding in Greentree Country Club this Summer. Green tree Country Club has a nice outdoor space by the water for ceremony, thats where these two lovely souls said 'I do', surrounded by their incredible family and friends. Isley and Woodrue, one of my favorite florists in New Jersey, did their floral designs and it was beyond stunning. My favorite part of the entire day was capturing that moment when the bride and groom decided to sneak out to the beach alone in the middle of the reception. Lucille got in the water with her gorgeous wedding gown by Wtoo Watters, carefree and madly in love. Jeff had no choice but to roll up his pants and dive in with his lovely bride. Its capturing instantaneous moments like these that makes my work so much fun and worth getting up for.
