Wedding at the Ukranian Institute of America...Congratulations Inna + Brett!

(too many photos to share on my Tumblr blog...so let's share it here!)

A Valentine's Day wedding for Inna and Brett...such a beautiful celebration. And Inna looks straight out of a vintage storybook right?! She was just stunning...which Brett clearly agrees, as you can see his artwork of her over the years that he's done, that he brought to the wedding as decor!

And Inna was glowing the whole day...despite a wedding without her family. You can see her Skyping with her family throughout the day, most touchingly, showing them her dress and her flowers, only moments before walking down the aisle. Her family in the Ukraine at the last moment wasn't able to secure travel documents due to instability in the country...but they were there with her no doubt about that. And she was walking on clouds that night.

Thank you for inviting me to photograph your day.
Congratulations!

Westhampton Wedding, Congratulations Melanie + Daniel, Part 1!

I originally met Melanie and Daniel from a distance...quite a distance actually, as I was hiding behind a long lens at Grand Central Station last year when Daniel got down on one knee and surprised Melanie with a ring! Awesome.

And now in Westhampton, where Melanie grew up, it was such a beautiful weekend, as we jumped from one location to the next, all within a stone's throw of each other...you really get to feel the place where you are! (campfire night to come!)

It was also a first for me...2 ceremonies! First a church ceremony for Melanie and her family, followed by a Jewish ceremony for Daniel and his family. And it totally worked! Packed with meaningful rituals on both sides, by the end, there was no doubt, these 2 were married!

The families sweetly embraced each other..and I loved seeing the new mother-in-laws holding hands during the dinner time speeches.

Congratulations Melanie + Daniel!
Thanks for inviting us to document your weekend!
