I absolutely love the way Gina and Oli talk about each other!

Oliver loves Gina’s compassion and empathy where no one else would have it, her fierce loyalty to everyone and everything she loves; her classic, timeless beauty, her ability to tolerate him and everything that makes him intolerable, and her relentless love and support that he can always depend on.

Gina adores Oli’s seemingly endless supply of drive and passion; how he never gives up, even when a situation feels hard or hopeless. His insatiable curiosity and just how incredibly smart he is. His tenacity for adventure, willingness to take risks, and ability to admit and forgive mistake whether they're mine or his. She loves his effortless style and confidence, as well as his ability to lift her up and make her feel whole, heard and special.

Their wedding turned out to be the most elegant laid back celebration at one of my all time favorite venues in Brooklyn - Brooklyn Winery. The space is absolutely gorgeous with it’s green wooden walls and industrial brewery backdrops!

Obsessed with this gorgeous couple and all the special moments from their Bowery Hotel wedding celebration! Patti and Lu are the definition of a modern partnership and it makes me so happy that their relationship goes so deep and their wedding represents more than just a one day party but their lifelong commitment to each other. As always, I love to let my couples describe their relationship so here are a few words from Patti:

“Lu and I met during college in November 2007 at a "Friendsgiving" that our maid of honor, Amanda, was hosting in Brooklyn for those who weren't going home for Thanksgiving. We had pretty instant chemistry and went on a date a few days later and have been together ever since :) I think what is one of the most important things after being together for almost 11 years is that we still really like each other and at the very base of it all, are still best friends at the core. We've gone through ups and downs like every other couple, but at the end of each day, we choose each other. We've grown up together through alot of life events (studying abroad apart, graduating college, first jobs, law school, etc) and thus understand the importance of partnership.

Lu will joke that his favorite thing about me is my (bad) singing and my favorite thing about him is his insane productivity (he designed all the invites, stds, menus, etc by himself because he enjoys design as a hobby even though he's a lawyer by trade) but ultimately I think that we both like making each other laugh and there's a sense of comfort when we're close together where our anxiety fades and we just know 'everything will be OK' if we got each other. We're so integrated in each other's lives at this point, that it feels like Lu is as part of me as is my arm or leg. It's a wonderful feeling to have such a deep friendship and partnership with someone :)”

This day was so special for me! First of all, Arrow Park is one of these magical hidden gems I almost got married in myself:) This venue is gorgeous, vast and feels like an elevated camping spot with lake views and a beautiful house in the middle of all the lush greenery. It also offers a large barn style venue for a large party. Personally, I was looking for an intimate space and they have a gorgeous room in the main house to accommodate a smaller party as well:)

Now the main stars of the day were Amanda and Cody, of course! Their love is so genuine and they can’t help but show it through every little touch and glance. It’s always so rewarding capturing a strong bond like their. One of the sweetest moments of the day was Amanda helping Cody do his hair as he sat blindfolded not to spoil the first look because that’s just want they do on a regular basis!

It was a day full of memories of loved ones who couldn’t be there but most importantly celebrating family and friends who could be there to support Amanda and Cody!

Thank you Amanda and Cody for letting me capture it all:)

When Rosie and Andrew met each other it was during a yoga class at Bhakti Center. Getting married on the rooftop of that same yoga center seemed like a perfect thing to do and let me tell you I was so excited for these two! We met over coffee and they told me all about their vision for their warm, magical and spiritual celebration in the place that brought them together. It honestly sounded amazing but it turned out even better:) It was a perfect July evening for an intimate gathering of friends and family. We ended up exploring the nearby streets for some colorful East Village portraits and went straight back to the rooftop to witness Rosie and Andrew exchange their vows.

Thank you Rosie and Andrew for making me part of your laid back celebration! I am in awe of the depth of your connection with each other and the calmness you exude.

Liz and Jeff decided to have 2 days of celebrations with their ceremony being held at Conservatory Garden in Central Park on Friday followed by a chill party on Saturday! If you know me I love a little bit of an untraditional timeline so documenting these 2 days of love was pretty epic:)

Liz and Jeff met online and after a couple of fun dates realized that they were falling for each other:)

What Jeff loves about Liz: “Her energy, her fun outlook on life and knack for making him laugh every day. Most of all she makes him a better person.”

What Liz loves about Jeff: “His smile, sense of humor, quirkiness. He is hard working, smart, laid back and an amazing person to be with. Liz is so lucky!!”

A huge thank you to Liz and Jeff for making me part of this beautiful low key celebration! More garden weddings please;)
