Meatpacking District after wedding portraits ~ Manhattan, New York City post wedding session

Iris and Andrew picked the very trendy and full of character lower Manhattan neighborhood, the Meatpacking District for their after wedding portraits.

I shot this session with Leigh who was visiting the city for a couple days and had a few session lined up. Here are a couple of my favorites.

I love how some of the wedding games included some of the engagement photos we took in Central Park.

Julia and Brian’s friends also put together a fantastic slide show showing their journey as individuals and as a couple.

Shadowbrook, New Jersey summer wedding

This is the second time around that Courtney and Marc said “I do” to each other. The couple who’s been married for a year and have the cutest daughter, Olivia, decided to renew their vows in front of family and friends.

Here are some images from their special day.

Courtney wore an elegant Nicole Miller gown and carried a bouquet of Black Beauty red roses with crystals.

This is how cute little Olivia greeted me when I first arrived at the house.

Courtney walked half way down the aisle where Marc was waiting for her and they walked to the alter together.

Getting into the antique Rolls Royce after the ceremony. Not sure why, but this is one of my favorite shots from the whole day. I like how happy they look, the light and the colors

The reception was held at the Shadowbrook where the outside gardens are perfect for some portraits.

Courtney’s grandparents celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary on the same day! I asked her grandmother if they have a special secret?  She said, they love to dance!

Westbury Manor, Long Island summer wedding ~ Westbury New York

Labor Day=Wedding Day for Martin and Eunice.

I was really looking forward to Eunice and Martin’s wedding because I had so much fun with them at their engagement session.

Their wedding day was even more fun! Eunice had three bridal outfits and the most (4!) outfit changes ever.

The ceremony and reception took place at Westbury Manor on Long Island.

Check out the beautiful invitations that Eunice designed and made herself.

Eunice is waiting to see Martin for the first time. She walked up behind him and did the old trick tapping-on-the-right-shoulder-and-coming-on-the-left-side, and Martin totally fell for it.

This is such a great portrait of Martin because he was unaware that I took this shot.

Whenever he saw me with my camera he always made a goofy face. So I am glad I caught a few shots showing his more serious side.

Just moments before walking out to the ceremony.

And here comes the beautiful bride…

This little guy was walking around and was one of the inspiration for the invites.

Let the wedding games begin! Martin had to figure out which one was Eunice’s hand out of 30+ people while being blindfolded….

They really tried to trick him when they sneaked in a few guys as well…..But Martin did a great job and found the right hand.

Eunice and Martin had a fabulous first dance that was energetic and included lots of dips and lifts and turns.

They looked like pros on the dance floor.

After-wedding portrait session in Central Park NYC

Who says you can only wear your wedding dress once??

Ellen and Josh got dressed again for a lovely portrait session in Central Park. They were a big hit with tourists and New Yorkers alike who wished them well and took their photos.

It was nice to walk around and not be concerned with time and location limits of the wedding day.

Big bonus points to Ellen for not worrying about her dress getting dirty.
