Congratulations Chanh & Tommy! What a fabulous celebration!  You are blessed with an abundance of friends and family who love you and I consider myself extremely lucky to have witnessed and captured such a special occasion together with you ~ Thank You! :)

And by the way…rain on your Wedding day is good luck~ “It comes from several cultures mainly from the Hindu with the idea that a wet knot is harder to untie. Since marriage is often referred to as tying the knot.” ♥

After arriving at the church and photographing the details inside; I peeked out the window waiting for the limousine to arrive…I couldn’t wait!  As soon as it pulled up, I rushed outside.  All the beautiful girls started to come out one at a time until suddenly, there was Chanh; basking in light.  Gorgeous!

All the giggly girls hanging out before they come down the aisle

There’s nothing sweeter than flower girls… (sigh) ♥

Especially when they get more than half way down the aisle realizing they were supposed to be throwing rose petals!  So cute, the bridesmaids were whispering to her “throw the rose petals” … and just as she was at the end of the aisle, she did!  :)

Here comes the Bride!

Congratulations Chanh & Tommy!  What a beautiful ceremony!

It was raining pretty hard ~ lots and lots of good luck! ~ but while we were photographing formals at the altar, I kept checking to see if it had let up even just a little bit.  Eventually, it DID!  We hurried outside for some fun Wedding party shots, and then all of a sudden it poured again.  Thanks everyone for rushing out there! These are fun!

I love umbrellas in pictures … personally though?  It would be so much more fun if they were a crazy color or pattern ..hint hint limo drivers! :)

This was my first time to the Webster Golf Club and I have to say; they did an amazing job!  They were all extremely attentive, courteous, and professional and the food was outstanding!

Simple and elegant centerpieces

Let them have cake!

I LOVE kids at the Weddings…especially when there’s a bunch and they’re all playing together.  These kids loved having their pictures taken and they were so cute running around dancing and playing.  I look at them in a whole new way now that I’m a mom…as I look off into the future not believing that my little baby is going to be running around like these kids too!  I don’t want to rush anything, but I’m excited for it just the same :)

Sweet sweet Molly … I adore this bridesmaid!  She referred Chanh to me after I photographed her Wedding and I’m so very thankful for the recommendation.   They are SO cute together and looking at them brings a huge smile to my face.  :)

There was a brief pause in the rain so we headed outside for a few pictures by the garden.  It was still a little drizzly…but we were at least able to get the garden in the background while still being protected by the overhang.

Shoes!  Chanh chose not to have pictures getting ready before the ceremony and those are some of my favorite shots … BUT we got a fun picture of the shoes on the dance floor ~ and look at all that tulle!

SO many dancing pictures … these guys could P.A.R.T.Y.!  And by the way; every Wedding reception should play ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga … just sayin’ …it gets the party started!   The D.J. has a lot to do with it too…WOW, Joetta with ‘Go Sound Systems‘ did an amazing job; fun and personable and a few tricks up her sleeve!

Congratulations Chanh & Tommy!  I had an amazing time celebrating with you and wish you a lifetime of happiness and laughter.  Have fun! :)

Please check back in a few weeks; I’ll have information posted about seeing all the images in a viewing/ordering gallery.  Until then, enjoy this little recap!

When I met with Krystal and Ryan a few months ago, I was immediately drawn to their calming nature.  They are extremely easy going and so comfortable around each other.  I love watching the chemistry between couples; it’s always amazing to me how we manage to find the perfect compliment to ourselves.   They live in North Carolina so we planned for their Engagement session to be during a trip back home.  They had so many things planned while they were here in New York and I could feel their excitement for all they had done and were still going to do.  It was so nice for me to share some of their time home at one of my new favorite places, Corbett’s Glen.  Krystal wanted waterfalls and this is definitely the place for them!  We had a beautiful evening for it too ~ could have done with out the mosquitoes though…ugh!  :)   Before heading to the Glen, we took a few shots of them at the Maplewood Rose Garden with their 2 , excited to be out of the house, dogs!  I’m always so thankful for any time a pet gets to tag along and be a part of things.  Including them in some pictures shows that they’re a part of the family too and that means the world to me.

Congratulations Krystal and Ryan!  I just realized I won’t see you again for a whole year!  Wow!  I’ll be in touch though, and will be looking forward to seeing you on the Big Day!
:)

As some of you know, I’m a new mom … and I realized the other day that I hadn’t photographed my baby girl in over a week!  July is the busiest month for Wedding photographers; so I’m trying to balance the two.  Thankfully, I captured this beautiful image of Kayla in her crib as we started the day.  My angel.

And just for fun, I’m going to add a few more

Have a great day!!
:)   ♥
