Michelle and Brian got married in the beautiful St. Cecilia church in Brooklyn.

It was a gorgeous autumn day and the flowers and bridal party all reflected the rich fall colors.

We had a great time doing the formal and not so formal portraits at the Planting Fields Arboretum.

Reception followed at the Swan Club.

Here are some of my favorite images from Brian and Michelle’s special day.

Michelle and Coco. Coco was a gift from Brian to Michelle and now she is the baby in the family.

Brian is also behind one of the most romantic proposals I have ever heard.

Brian and Michelle are just head over heels in love with each other.

Brian and Michelle had a great looking bridal party.

Flowers and centerpieces were created by Pedestals.

Michelle, Brian and their guests all knew how to get down and party. The dance floor was packed all night thanks to the great tunes from Treats with Beats.

Congratulations to Brian and Michelle!!

We started out the engagement session with Jen and Mike and Yoshi in Gramercy near their apartment.

After a quick tour in the neighborhood we headed up to Central Park and we finished the session at Grand Central.  I really enjoyed getting to know Jen and Mike and of course Yoshi!

Thank you Jen and Mike!  Looking forward to May!!

Amy and Harlan got married at Pellegrini Vineyard just as the sun was setting.

The day was full of unique details and elements that really showed off the couple’s personality.

Here are some of my favorite moments and details.

The couple’s son, Porter, was the ring bearer.

The gorgeous bouquets and floral pieces were by Lovin’ Over Floral Designs.

Porter kept blowing on Amy’s bouquet like it was birthday cake with candles.  Too cute!

The couple decided to have a cheese cake instead of a traditional wedding cake.  Four different kind of cheese wheels were stacked and decorated.  It looked amazing!

Amy and Harlan have a great taste in music and their reception music reflected that well.

They had a band and a DJ: Hydroyum and DJ Brandon.

Elegant Eating catered the wedding and they were phenomenal.

Amy and Harlan both sang a song to each other.

Congratulations Amy and Harlan.  It was an amazing wedding and I had a great time photographing it!

Connie and Tom had their outside ceremony and reception at the Westmount Country Club in New Jersey.

The perfect weather let us do all the formal portraits outside at the Lambert Castle which was a great backdrop for photos.

Here are some highlights from Connie and Tom’s special day.

The vibe in the groom’s room is always so different from the bride’s.  Here is Tom with his dad and brother.

Tom and Connie’s first meeting – I love this series!

Connie and Tom incorporated the tea ceremony into their wedding ceremony.

The officiant was Connie’s brother, Eddie, and the couple wrote their own vows.

Connie and Tom’s first dance started out as slow swing then half way into the dance it turned into a surprise cha cha.  They did a fantastic job!

The tables were named after movies and shows the couple played roles in.

The always excellent Eturnity Band provided the music.

Connie and Tom had a slide show made from family and childhood photos.

Tom surprised Connie with a special song dedicated to her.

Make up and hair by the wonderful Sachiko Yanase.

Flowers by Pedestals Florist.

Connie’s custom wedding gown was made by Atelier Elen Paumere Couture.

Custom stationary design and event coordination by Limor and Monica from Koru Event Design.

Congratulations to Connie and Tom, a very special couple!

Ginger and Andrew, a Manhattan couple, chose the picturesque natural setting of the Stroudsmoor Country Inn in Pennsylvania for their wedding ceremony and reception.  The outside ceremony site was overlooking the Pocono mountains.

Here are some highlight images from their special day:

I love how Ginger’s mom was peeking out in the back….

Ginger’s nephew, Jaden was the ring bearer and he looked so cute in his tux and bow tie!

Ginger and her friends dedicated a special song to Andrew.

There were milk and cookies for dessert and they were a huge hit with kids and adults.

Congratulations and warmest wishes to Ginger and Andrew!!
