Read MoreBowery Hotel Wedding Photos - Patti & Lu
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 :)”

Read MoreThe Bhakti Yoga Center Rooftop Wedding - Rosie & Andrew
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.
Read MoreIntimate City Hall and Freeman's Restaurant Wedding, NYC - Rebecca & Dave
It seems fitting to finally share Becca and Dave’s celebration on the blog right before New Year’s Eve because these two had their first kiss on New Year’s Eve back in 2010!
Becca and Dave’s wedding day felt like an adventure! These two decided to have an intimate ceremony at City Clerk’s office followed by an intimate dinner with family at one of my favorite places Freeman’s Restaurant in SOHO. We started our day in Brooklyn because this is where Rebecca and Dave have been living with their adorable pup Scout. Naturally, we did their first look in their backyard accompanied by Scout:) Walked through the gorgeous streets of Park Slope and stopped at Grand Army Plaza for photos. Next stop was City Hall and Becca’s father was let in right before they closed the doors for visitors! We were all anxiously waiting for him to arrive and I will never forget that moment and the couple of photos I shot of Becca breathing a sigh of relief that her dad was actually there to witness their ceremony. I knew then how important it was for Becca and Dave to have family there! After they said their I do’s we explored the neighborhood around City Clerk’s office which is actually very photogenic with its grand architecture. The celebration continued at the Freeman’s Restaurant in one of their private rooms on the second floor but we also did a couple of photos in the iconic Freeman’s Alley.
I am so grateful to capture intimate love stories like this one because a great celebration is not about how big you make it but about having the people dearest to you to celebrate with you:)
