Central Park Zoo Wedding

Carly and Xavier were looking for something unique.  Perhaps an outdoor wedding or a view of the New York skyline.  We managed to find them both of these things at the Central Park Zoo!  They had a small ceremony at City Hall and invited their dearest friends and family to party with them at the zoo.  A zoo isn't immediately what you think of as wedding worthy, but the Central Park Zoo is a special place.  The warm brick columns and the lush green ivy, make it truly beautiful.  Carly wore a stunning lace jumpsuit from DVF and carried a lush bouquet of deep red peonies.

The Surrey Hotel Rooftop Wedding

Chelsea and Kevin were married at an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends on the rooftop of a boutique hotel The Surrey.  Dark clouds had been threatening us all morning, but thankfully it remained dry for their sweet ceremony and gorgeous photographs on the rooftop afterwards!  Guests were welcomed to the penthouse level with an elegant welcome sign of hand calligraphy on a framed mirror.   We had a string trio play Etta James' At Last as Chelsea walked down the aisle in a classic Monique Lhuillier gown with a cathedral length veil floating behind her.  

The reception followed a few blocks away at Chef Daniel Bouloud's michelin starred restaurant.  We just had to bring Chelsea and Kevin to the the kitchen to take some pictures in there!  During the delicious meal, guests enjoyed a jazz trio, which then transitioned to a DJ for dancing later.  

Written Word Calligraphy designed the save the date, invitation and the day of paperie.  I just love her modern calligraphy on all these pieces, making them so unique and special.  The gold foil stamping on ivory was perfectly classic, and her metallic hand calligraphy on the escort cards beyond dreamy.

Four Seasons Hotel Wedding: Emily and Leon

Emily and Leon had a New York wedding in spring, the same season as when they first started dating.  I loved their elegant and timeless style, and the addition of sweet little whimsical touches.  Her Monique Lhuillier gown had an intricately beaded bodice and a full ballgown skirt with an asymmetric gather.  Emily hand illustrated the save the date herself!  She often drew a cartoon bear and lion to represent them as a couple and this illustration made its way to the formal invitation and the Eleni's cookie favours.  Blossom and Branch brought spring to the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel with towering cherry blossoms and romantic peonies everywhere, including coral charms, which are such show stoppers.  I particularly loved their wedding cake from Nine Cakes with a gold accent tier and a cascade of loose cherry blossoms tinged in gold falling down the cake.  Thank you to Brian Hatton for capturing their sweet day!

Gotham Hall Wedding

Rachel and Mike were married on a beautiful sunny day in March.  They lucked out with lovely warm weather, which allowed for dreamy portraits just outside the American Museum of Natural History.  Right around the corner from where Rachel grew up on the Upper West Side.  Their ceremony and reception took place at Gotham Hall, where Fleurs brought such an elegant, classic and glamourous touch.

New York Public Library Wedding

There is nothing quite like a New York Public Library wedding.  The majestic building is simply breathtaking.  Marti looked a vision in a custom Ulla Maija Anna Maier gown holding a striking bouquet of only deep red peonies as she married Rod in the dramatic Astor Hall.  We used ghost chairs for the ceremony.  With beautiful lighting from Levy Lighting, it really let the room and architectural details shine.  The corridor was lined with glass globes filled with tea lights to lead guests to Celeste Bartos where they dined and danced under a starry night.

Video: Emily and Leon at the Four Seasons Hotel

Emily and Leon were married at an intimate ceremony at Fifty7 in the Four Seasons Hotel on a beautiful spring day in May.  What really struck me about this couple was how loving and supportive they were of each other.  When I met their families later on, it was clear who they had learned that from.  It was truly a delight to work with such a sweet couple and I wish them so much happiness in years ahead.  Thanks to McKenzie Miller for sharing this film of their day.
