Classic New York City Wedding Photos at The Rainbow Room, NYC

On the 65th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, you are whisked away with sweeping views of New York City inside the iconic Rainbow Room. The mosaic ceiling above the ceremony space is breathtaking and there are thousands of hanging crystals that line the reception room that make the dance floor sparkle. For Sara and John, this was the perfect NYC venue to celebrate their marriage with among their closest family and friends. The bride wore a fitted lace wedding dress by Amsale and her Mother's diamond bracelet for her something borrowed and old. John and his groomsmen got ready at the Waldorf Astoria just a few blocks away. The soon to be newlyweds, shared their first look underneath 30 Rock's famous Rainbow Room neon sign. We walked around the plaza to for their bridal portraits and were showered with well wished by onlooking tourists exploring the city.

Before they walked down the aisle, Sara and John signed their Ketubah in a private ceremony and the room became overjoyed with excitement. Underneath the chuppah adorned with fresh cherry blossoms, they said their vows and kissed for the first time as husband and wife. For their first dance, the newlyweds surprised their guests with an impromptu breakdance session by the groom. Their guests cheered with delight! Before the evening ended, the bride and groom cut their wedding cake that was designed by Sylvia Weinstock and thanked their guests for being with them on their special day. I'm so honored I could be part of their wedding and capture their cheerful celebration. Congratulations Newlyweds!

Brooklyn Heights Engagement Session

On a random weeknight, Jessica met John for a quick drink at a local bar not thinking anything would come from her date but she was wrong. Once they got to talking, she was smitten and the rest is history. John proposed to Jessica in Montauk where they spent a lot of time building their relationship and falling in love.

The happy couple lives in Brooklyn, so choosing locations for their engagement session was pretty easy. We visited Bevacco, where they had their first date, strolled along Willow Street in Brooklyn Heights before catching the sunset on the Promenade. I'm so excited for their wedding later this year at the Montauk Yacht Club!

Colorful Wedding at The Tribeca Rooftop

I'm so excited to start the New Year with one of my favorite weddings, Melanie and Jamie's colorful and romantic Spring wedding at Tribeca Rooftop. Melanie was radiant in her ivory, hand beaded wedding gown from Maggie Sottero along with her Mother's breathtaking heirloom diamond necklace. The Bride got ready at the Rooftops white artist studio, which is a photographers dream and great backup location for unseasonable weather. Melanie envisioned a bright assortment of flowers to celebrate their Spring wedding in New York City and Spina's amazing floral arrangements took her breath away. It was a hot and humid day in NYC and luckily the rain held off until Melanie and Jamie were officially husband and wife. We quickly ran outside to capture the sweeping views of the manhattan skyline. Guests were greeted by the oversized, hand written chalkboard welcome sign and seating charts as soon as they stepped out of the elevators. The happy couple share a love of music and have dedicated their lives to teaching and studying music. Hank Lane was the perfect band to get the dance floor going during their candlelit reception. It was a honor being part of their wedding day and so thrilled to share some of my favorite images. Congratulations to the happy couple! xo
