Erika and Craig Marry :: New York City Hall Wedding

One of my favorite city hall weddings ever - totally biased - was Erika and Craig's.  Of course, E has been my close pal since seventh grade.  We grew up together, and over time, have generated quite a few memorable stories.  I'll always remember early on so instantly after they started to date, I told her, Craig is the right guy for you! 

And on a special Friday in June, Mr. Moustache man at city hall married the sweet couple.  Erika wore a classic Theory dress ... one we had shopped for together in the Upper West Side a few years back.  At the time, as she tried to justify the price at the checkout, she said, "I can definitely wear this to a wedding" - little did she know it would be her own!

A Sweetly Sentimental Central Park Wedding :: Photography

Last Sunday, I photographed simply sweet Central Park Wedding for Jess and Amy.  They married at the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park, and afterwards, we took a stroll for an hour en route to the Boat Basin.  And during the stroll I would pull them aside randomly for photos.  There were so many elements of thoughtfulness including:

* her dress was made of silk her father had purchased for her mother when he was stationed in korea in the 1970s
* the dress was handmade by a friend using her mom's antique sewing machine
* the violin played at the ceremony belonged to her father
* the bouquet was homemade
* they gave away m&ms that had their faces custom printed on them
* they gave away spray fans that wld blow mist to cool off
