A White Tie Affair: The Metropolitan Club: New York Wedding Photography

This is one of our favorite fall events from our archives.  Rebecca & Christopher's elegant white tie wedding was a gorgeous affair.  We came in the night before for a few portraits in the park and to capture their rehearsal dinner at a private New York club.  The following day their ceremony took place at The Church of The Heavenly Rest and for their reception the couple selected  The Metropolitan Club.  Rebecca looked like royalty in her delicately embellished Carolina Herrera gown from Mark Ingram Atelier with her heirloom veil.  Her silver Jimmy Choo heels and stunning jewelry looked sophisticated with her sleek chignon which hair stylist Jason Quiin of Garren New York perfected.  Her bridesmaids look statuesque in slate gray Grecian style column gowns by Amsale Bridal and the groomsmen were dapper in white tie and tails from Baldwin Formals.  Expert event planner and florist David Beahm of David Beahm Designs transformed The Metropolitan Club into a romantic English garden vision.  Stationary by The Printery of Oyster Bay NY featured a beautiful imprinted monogram and the cake from Soutine Bakery was accented with delicate fresh wild flowers.  The Eturnity Band,  founded & lead by Antonio Alston, former drummer of James Brown, not only provided amazing vocals but created a full stage show that was spectacular.  Milestone Video Productions skillfully captured the epic night on video for the happy couple.  I was trilled to commission fellow wedding photographer Marie Papp of Marie Papp Photography to help capture this amazing event.

The Tribeca Rooftop: A Touch of Paris in New York:New York Wedding Photographers

Fiorenza & Jason are a gorgeous couple and a dynamic duo.  The bride could easily be at home on Broadway with her powerful voice and vivacious personality, which paired beautifully with Jason's sense of ease and sparkle.  For their wedding this couple choose classic New York venues with touches of Parisian elegance. The couple got ready at The Eventi in Chelsea; their suite decor of vintage prints and stage style lighting was a photographer's dream.  Fia looked divine in her Vera Wang gown with its layers of organza and delicate beading.  For the after party she donned a Marchesa gown from Mark Ingram Atelier.  Her bridesmaids wore Grecian style dresses in the palest shades of lavender and rose from Amsale.  New York florist Belle Fleur created soft, romantic bouquets to pair with lightness of the gowns. The groom wore a single gardenia boutonniere, very Cary Grant.     East Six Stationary crafted stunning letterpress invitations.  It was so lovely to be greeted by one of our favorite videographers Michael Simon.

The bridal party moved to St. Francis of Assisi Church on West 31st. for their ceremony.  After a beautiful ceremony the bride and groom excited the church with a fan fair of ribbons and the twinkle of bells stopping only for a brief kiss.  We just loved the fanned letterpress church programs that East Six designed.

For the reception the classic New York venue The Tribeca Rooftop with stunning views of the Hudson, Soho and downtown Manhattan.  Belle Fleur continues the soft romantic Parisian theme with soft candlelight and delicate roses with hand calligraphy place cards.  The wedding guests enjoyed entertainment by the soulful Jazz ensemble Arcadia managed by Li Paramount.  As a special treat a musical number performance by the bride and her uncle brought down the house.
