Melissa and David tied the knot in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

I have photographed Melissa and David’s wedding in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday.
The weather was perfect with lots of sun and a nice breeze. The couple was so happy and in-love that they couldn’t stop smiling all day. The place for the ceremony and the reception was at the beautiful Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Palm House.
My friend and fellow photographer, Bill Wang, photographed with me bringing his creative energy.
Check out the Melissa and David’s wedding highlights slideshow.

Here are some of my favorite images from the special day.

I just love this moment as Melissa’s mom and dad lifting her veil before she steps in front of David under the chupah. Melissa looks so happy!

Six very talented ladies, The Kit McClure Band, provided the awesome music. Guests were dancing during the entire reception.

Melissa and David were dancing like seasoned professionals and they really vowed all their guests with their amazing first dance.

And a big thank you to Mary Beaty for connecting Melissa and David with me. Thank you Mary!
