Julie and Taylor's wedding was certainly a gorgeous celebration! But to simply state that their wedding was beautiful is not enough. The highlight of the day was Taylor's surprise performance to Julie during their reception at Palm House. I remember him sneaking away to the kitchen with his guitar and practicing his song beforehand. And then witnessing the surprise and Julie's reaction was so special. Taylor plays in a band and his life is inspired by music and, no doubt, by Julie:) It was a pleasure seeing these two families come together (Taylor's family flew all the way from Australia!) and celebrate the love these two share!

Diane and Amaru got married at the beautiful Stone Mill this past April. I was surprised to find such a gorgeous rustic venue surrounded by trees and the river in the middle of Bronx in New York Botanical Garden. The leaves were just turning green and the cherry blossoms were in bloom so we took advantage of some of the spring colors for their portraits. A good friend of theirs was there to marry them and the whole celebration felt so laid back and so intimate!

"Does everything have to be a joke?" Ayala kept asking Shaun because there certainly wasn't a lack of humor and puns on their wedding day. Shaun and Ayala are so full of energy and so full of love it's hard not to notice so they made my job quite easy:) The celebration reminded me of a big family getaway with everyone staying in small cabins around the lake and just having a great time!

This was a very anticipated e-session with Richelle and Jay! We rescheduled it a couple of times due to Winter storm and cold weather and I am so glad we did! The Spring colors and the sun rays matched Richelle and Jay's personalities so well:) We explored Washington Square Park and the neighborhood around and we were able to find some unexpected locations! Can't wait to document Richelle and Jay's wedding later this year which, no doubt, will be as fun as this colorful e-session!
