Sharra and Mark, Monteverde at Oldstone Manor

Here's a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Monteverde at Oldstone Manor in Cortlandt Manor, NY.  

Sharra put a twist to walking down the aisle by arranging the chairs at her wedding to Mark in a spiral fashion. The video clip starts out with one of the most popular Bible passages at weddings, 1 Corinthians 13:4, which, when delivered with meaning and importance, soars so beautifully.  Here, Mark and Sharra's officiant reads the passage so brilliantly:

Vendors: Meghan Walls was Sharra's wedding coordinator and we got a chance to work with San Diego, CA photog imports The Image Is Found. Check them out!

Sherien & Randy's wedding at The Tobacco Warehouse

Yes, yes, there have been incredible delays between posts and the weddings...

But late is definitely better than never as we share with you this clip from last year's wedding at The Tobacco Warehouse inside the Empire-Fulton Ferry Park in Brooklyn.  

The event was a gorgeous feast for the eyes. With awesome views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan and the unique warehouse space as a backdrop, there was no denying this was a different kind of wedding. From Randy and Sherien's zafra-ushered entrance, to belly dancing and flamenco dancers (Sherien's surprise for Randy), the Egyptian- and Dominican-infused celebration was a truly memorable event, made even more remarkable by our dazzling pair.

Check out in-demand photog Angelica Glass's pictures of the same wedding here (you'll have to scroll down a bit to find Sherien & Randy's post).

Yadey & Adam's 3-Day Wedding Affair

Undoubtedly our biggest wedding event last season, Yadey and Adam's three-day extravaganza was a gorgeous and glorious affair that celebrated not just the wedding of these two extraordinary people, it was also a beautiful convergence of Jewish and Ethiopian traditions, old and new friendships, families and friends from near and far.

Yadey and Adam (or "Yadam," their very apt Hollywood-equivalent nickname) wanted a highlights video that incorporated their welcome dinner, the wedding in the Berkshires, and the wedding in Manhattan... the result is this extended highlights piece that we are very excited to share with you. Extra points go to those who pick up on the other Hollywood reference. (Please make sure you have 20 minutes of uninterrupted viewing time to experience the fullness of the video:)

Congratulations, Yadey and Adam! --------------I must mention the talents of our partners in coverage crime, photographer Todd Laffler and his second photographer Bob, who were tireless in coming up with flawless stills from all three days. See here, here, and here for the images from Yadey and Adam's wedding events.
For the truly curious, the music used in the video include songs by The Dissociatives, Ana Laan, This Will Destroy You, Lymbyc Systym, Saxon Shore, Moi Caprice, Mono, and Sigur Ros (yes, that many!).

Tristan and Melissa's Roosevelt Island Wedding

If you've ever been by the East River of Manhattan (driving on FDR Drive, for instance), you may have caught a glimpse of the Renwick Ruins (otherwise known as The Smallpox Hospital) on Roosevelt Island.  It's a great backdrop for wedding photos... I hear there are plans for it to be converted to a concert venue.
This was our first Roosevelt Island Wedding-- and in fact, Tristan and Melissa's was one of the first weddings celebrated at Southpoint Park.  It was a memorable day for many reasons, but mostly because our glowing couple was enveloped by so much love, beauty, cheer, and views of Manhattan:
CA-based photographer Jerry Yoon took snaps of the event.

Marissa and Jim at The Lighthouse

When you see the bride doing knuckle bumps (using the bridal bouquet with the girls, as well as the real thing with her groom); the guys playing poker and drinking beer in the morning; the Brooklyn Bridge and Chelsea Piers as a backdrop; add to that the fact that the bridal party is large-- you know you have a cool and well-loved couple.  

So without further ado, here's Rissy and Jimmy:

Carolina and Spencer at Steiner Studios

Film buffs Carolina and Spencer tied the knot at the very apt Stage 6 at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn last year.  

Even the rain couldn't stop the fun at the wedding, thanks to much warmth and love from their family and friends:

We worked with photog Angelica Glass on this one... plus hot wedding faves Stacy Pitt for hair and Laura Nadeau for makeup-- tons of fun!

Angie and John at Mystic Seaport

Love, music and hearts on fire.  These Chicago residents who met in New York got married in Mystic, CT last year.

After a line from their choice of song for the first dance was in question, Angie actually got in touch with musician Jens Lekman to give it his intended meaning. And why not...!? Pretty awesome both ways.

So here it is-- John and Angie's highlights clip. Enjoy!

Pleasure to have worked with photographer Agaton Strom on this wedding.

Liz and Andy's Wedding at Avenue/Le Club

"Now I find the highlight of my weekend, yes, it's shul!"

Nothing could be sweeter than a surprise performance from the groom to his bride. Charles wrote this song and performed it at his wedding to Nicole. Go ahead and memorize the lyrics... this song is soon to be a classic!
