I was really looking forward to Jenny and James’ wedding. It was my first wedding to photograph in 2008 and it was a truly amazing event!
The couple said “I do” in Grace Church and celebrated with friends and families at 24 Fifth.
Jenny wore a beautiful Demetrios gown and she looked absolutely stunning! The bouquets and centerpieces were created by super talented mother and daughter team, Designs by Rose.
The Hank Lane band provided the music and the dance floor was packed all night! Jenny and James spent a lot of time dancing and celebrating as well.
At then end of the night the couple took a get away car, aka NYC yellow cab, to Grand Central station, where we finished the day with some portraits.
Jenny and James are so in love and such a lovely couple, it was a pleasure photographing their wedding.
Here are a few of my favorite moments:
This is one of my most favorite images of the day: Jenny and Leah riding down the elevator to the take the limo to the church. They were so excited they couldn’t help themselves!!
Jenny’s dad is helping her getting into the limo. I love this shot: it so timeless and so New York.
The newlyweds walking out of the church. Look how happy they are!!
Leah, Jenny and Laura.
James feeling victorious at the end of the first dance.
The parent dances were so touching! Jenny’s dad also gave a wonderful and warm speech and welcomed James to the family.
Jenny and her mom admiring the gorgeous cake.
James and Ed celebrating with some cigars outside.
In Grand Central Station: even though it was 11.35PM on Saturday night, there are still plenty of people in Grand Central. Lots of people came up to Jenny and James and congratulated them and wished them well. Everyone loves newlyweds!!
The last shot of the day: Jenny and James getting into the elevator at the Hyatt to go up to their room. Isn’t it a fantastic shot?? I love it!

You have captured some great shots. Not only did you have the vision on the “staged poses” but some of the candid shots are priceless. The black and white photos, “I Love.” and think it makes this a more unique package!
No doubt in my mind that my niece and nephew will treasure these, as I will.
Great Job!! and thanks for Sharing!!
