We hope everyone in the tri-state area is recovering ok from Sandy’s wrath….especially folks in NYC!  What a difference a month makes…just one month ago yesterday Pam and Nick’s were married at Pier Sixty at the Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.  Let’s go back and take a look…

While Pam and her girlfriends readied themselves up on Central Park, Nick prepped downtown at Battery Park’s Ritz-Carlton.  They rendezvous’d for a first look outside the uptown apartment and it was just perfect.  Pam’s a hugely happy person who really brings out the smile in Nick!  Next stop was the summery green Central Park Conservancy for fun bridal party photos before making our way to Chelsea for their ceremony and reception at Pier Sixty.

It was a pleasure working with the wonderful event planner Harriette Rose Katz and her team, and Jeffrey at Pier Sixty!  The stellar creative décor came from Mark Rose Events whose beyond gorgeous floral work for the Chuppah and reception–along with lighting from Frost Productions–made a most magical setting for the guests entering the Aquatania Room.  Pier Sixty captures that festive luxury liner era in its ballrooms and outdoor promenade on the Hudson, and features Abigail Kirsch cuisine.  And the band Starlight Music, playing the spectrum from acoustic to Santana to high energy dance, was a huge hit.

With a fun–and funny–group of friends and family, this was a big NYC wedding with an intimate feel.  Thank you so much Pam and Nick and your families for having us photograph your day!   To view many more photos please click here…

Celebrating that last bit of Connecticut summer, Alexandra and Jon were married a few weeks back with a festive garden party reception at the Pond House at West Hartford’s Elizabeth Park.  The day started with Alex’s getting ready with her girls at the Avon Old Farms Hotel, where Jane was able to indulge her love of great light, wallpaper and beautiful brides!  Then onto Torrington’s St. Francis of Assisi church, where Alexandra and her Dad–listening to her brother Rob play the violin–walked down the aisle to meet Jon.  Later, over Avon Mountain at Elizabeth Park the party kicked off among the flowers, so beautiful in September with dahlias in bloom, with a photo stroll in the color-bursting gardens.  West Hartford’s Moscarillo’s Garden Shoppe also made lovely white rose and blue bouquets for the wedding.  All generations were dancing, to everything from polkas to “Call Me Maybe”, including a really touching dance of Alexandra with her grandfather to Thank Heaven for Little Girls. 

A relaxed and, at the same time, full of energy wedding…thanks and congratulations Alex and Jon!!   To view more photos please click here…

Britt and Peter really put their stamp of personality on their relaxed & friendly vineyard wedding a few weeks back at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington CT!  They laughed, danced and partied with their families and big support system of friends from the ’08 Obama Advance Team to their Stanford and Yale classmates.  Support system is right…these guys held the poles of the Chuppah against the wind during the ceremony!

We met first at The Inn at Stonington in the Borough before heading up country to the winery, where the Sperry Tent was decked out beautifully in rustic elegance…a great job by the unflappable Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events.  White bird netting covered the nearly-ripe vines, making a dreamy setting for their outdoor wedding ceremony in the vineyard. Very “farm to table” vibe with guests enjoying Jonathan Edwards’ Stone Table Red–a nice blend of cab, merlot and petite sirah–and caterer A Thyme to Cook featuring food from Connecticut’s LoPresti Farms and Maple Lane Farms.  And the creative folks from Blush Floral from Madison CT provided the really nice flowers.

Loved Britt’s shimmery dress by British designer David Fielden..beautiful!  Look no further for a wonderful JOP…Mary Coburn–she’s so upbeat and really personalizes the ceremony.  For music under the Sperry tent, DJ Eko of the Love Junkies spun Stevie Wonder to the latest hip hop…not your typical DJ!  She raises DJing to an artform.  The night ended with a crazy-train bus ride to the afterparty at the Skipper’s Dock back in the Borough..fun to the end!

Thanks so much Britt and Peter!!  Take care and congratulations!  To view lots more pics click here…
