Gustavino's Restaurant: A Classic New York Wedding: New York Wedding Photographers

"We met at Columbia Business School at a retail networking event at JCrew. I went for career opportunities - Darren went because JCrew was offering 15% off that night and he needed to stock up on t-shirts and boxers! We were in the same class at CBS but did not meet until that evening at JCrew."

Julie & Darren we so vibrant & full of joy!  Their classic New York wedding just won our hearts.  Dressed in a chiffon layered sheath dress by Vera Wang with crystal sash and sparkly Jimmy Choo heels, Julie was the epitome of style.  The deep plum calla lilies by Ron Wendt Designs were the perfect accent and even matched Darren's tie.  For their ceremony & reception the bride and groom chose Gustavino's Restaurant under the Queensboro Bridge.  Every guest danced the night away!

So here is part two of Kelli & Nino's extravagant crystal & lace adorned reception!  We loved working with the lush grounds at The Rockleigh Country Club.  Daniel Florals and Events, Inc. really blew us away with their lighting design for the evening!  They created such a dramatic, high-end club feel and The Caleps really kept the guests on their toes dancing all night long.   The Cake Topper of Staten Island created the lavish four-layer cake adorned with edible flowers.    The C'est Papier Inc. invitations were simple and elegant from Sincerely Yours Custom Invitations, and the chocolate menus were good enough to eat!

The Rockleigh Country Club: Crystal & Lace: Part One: New Jersey Wedding Photographers

We were so excited to work with Kelli & Nino after photographing them for their engagement!  The gorgeous couple met ten years ago in their freshman year of college.  Kelli lovingly recalls,  "We started dating that summer and were inseparable ever since."  Nino proposed among the beautiful flowers at Montauk Manor.  Kelli, who works as an event planner herself, enlisted the help of Sincerely Yours Events to work with her creating a romantic candlelit English garden theme. Kelli went to Kleinfeld's to get her Pnina Tornai dress.  It fit like it was made just for her and the Manolo Blahnik cyrstal sandals she picked were the perfect finishing touch. Mancini Giuffre Salon in Staten Island did an exquisite job with hair and make up.  The bridesmaids were stunning in Vera Wang originals in a classic caramel with rhinestone accents that she found at Always a Bridesmaid Boutique.  Daniel Florals and Events Inc. created lush bouquets with feather accents and warm colors.  Nino and the boys looked dashing in Armani Collezioni.

The ceremony moved to Brooklyn at St. Ephrem's Parish.
