Evelyn & Wade- Westbury New York

"Bad Gal" Evelyn IS NOT! (but I thought the mascara was so cute)...

From the first day I met Evelyn I knew she was special. She is such a pleasure to be around because she's a genuinely happy, kind, grateful, loving person.

There was so much love between Evelyn and Wade's families, the energy was amazing!

Evelyn's father was SO proud, I don't think he stopped smiling all day!

Much credit goes to Evelyn, Wade, the bridal party and the families for being such troopers for pics at Old Westbury Gardens where it was SO UNCOMFORTABLY HOT!

Wade, you're a very lucky man....but in talking to Evelyn, I've learned she's just as lucky.....and the beauty is that she knows it and cherishes every minute of it : )

Yelena & Tito: Miranda Restaurant-Brooklyn New York

Yelena and Tito!! What a WONDERFUL day!! Steven and I enjoyed every second of this wedding. The people were great, the locations were great, and the food was AMAZING!

It's always such a pleasure to work with genuinely kind people.... Top that off with CREATIVE people and the day is PERFECT!! Yelena and Tito decided to have a very "Yelena and Tito" wedding. This meant intimate, traditional AND non-traditional, fun, spontaneous, BROOKLYN wedding with GREAT FOOD (since cooking is their hobby). The ceremony was held in The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Transfiguration (gorgeous)...then we proceeded to walk around the neighborhood for pics. And finally we headed to "Miranda Restaurant" for the reception. Music was provided by an awesome band called "Los Mas Valientes" who I hope to see again soon since I'm on their mailing list now : )

Did I mention the food was great??!!!

Yelena and Tito, thank you for all your kindness. It's very much appreciated : )

And thank you for giving me the freedom (and trust) of shooting "whatever I see and feel at the moment"...(your words, I believe). I think we got a fabulous job......thanks to our fabulous clients!!
