Guastavino's Wedding : Jaime & Matt : New York, NY
Guastavino's is one of those iconic New York City wedding venues that is instantly recognizable. The massive vaulted ceilings are visible from the street and provide a majestic setting for a wedding. Jaime & Matt worked to create a number of lighting situations to bring a different ambiance to each element of the evening. You'll get a sense of that as you browse through their day. We started with getting ready photos at the InterContinental New York Barclay hotel which is both gorgeous and conveniently located for a number of the noted NYC event venues and picturesque spots for portraits. On the corner of 42nd St & 5th Ave is the New York Public Library whose design echoes some of the architectural language of Guastavino's making it a perfect choice for a few pictures before heading over to the venue.A gorgeous ceremony soon was underway and I loved the chance to document their day in this amazing space.

Bacchus Wedding : Kate & Kevin : Brooklyn, NY
People ask me all the time what kind of wedding is my favorite to shoot. I truly enjoy things about all types of weddings, but the thing that really gets me about intimate restaurant weddings is the extra nudge of spontaneity and going with the flow. If the guests are assembled and waiting at the ceremony while we go overtime on portraits, they can wait! Loving the vibe of cocktail hour? Perfect, they'll keep pouring. It was this spirit that made Kate & Kevin's wedding at Bacchus the relaxed dinner party style affair that I just love. Kate got ready at the nearby Nu Hotel before we met at Brooklyn Bridge Park for a first look and some family photos. Accompanied by my favorite form of wedding day transportation: a 1960s era checkered cab from Film Cars/New York Checker, we made our way through some iconic old world Brooklyn streets before dropping the bride and groom off for their ceremony with guests awaiting. 
99 Scott Wedding : Allison & Mike : Brooklyn, NY
^^Don't you love how soft, romantic and wraparound the light is in those last fleeting seconds of daylight? Me too. Allison & Mike pulled out all the stops for their September wedding in Brooklyn, NY at 99 Scott. Getting ready at 1Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is not just a good choice but in many ways the why-go-anywhere-else choice. After utilizing this rustic contemporary space we made our way to St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church for the wedding mass before taking portraits in DUMBO. The icing on the cake was arriving at 99 Scott in East Williamsburg. There are some venues I pull up to and think to myself, is it too early to renew my vows?

Logan Hotel Wedding : Zhanna & Seth : Philadelphia, PA
Living in New York, it's easy to forget just how close Philadelphia is. After a couple hours in the car, I found myself at The Logan Downtown Philadelphia Hotel where Zhanna and Seth held their ceremony and reception. Nestled along museum row and a stone's throw from City Hall, The Logan boasts an amazing roof lounge, gorgeous rooms, outdoor space for ceremony and cocktails and a beautiful ballroom. And when I say cocktails I mean vodka, and of course... caviar.
