I've received several emails about Kate's one shoulder dress since posting their preview about a week ago. I couldn't believe how many people had contacted me needing to know who made Kate's dress. Kate and Brett are enjoying a honeymoon in France right now so I couldn't possibly bother them to ask! But Kate, if you're reading this, I'm sure there are many bride's out there who would love to know in the comments section :)

This wedding took place at Le Meridian Hotel. They are in their first wedding season and the venue is just gorgeous. It is brand new and the bridal suite was beautifully decorated, modern and bright. Everyone really enjoyed the location, so close to City Hall. Kate and Brett had their first look downstairs in the lobby and then we went out to Washington Square and an alley nearby. Kate and Brett, you make such a handsome couple and I really enjoyed working with you and photographing your beautiful day.

Brett's father had prepared a really sweet slideshow to show at the reception with pictures of Brett and Kate through the years. It was a really nice personal touch and gift to the couple. By the end of the evening, Kate's father was serenading the crowd with his rendition of Elvis' The Wonder of You. The crowd, and especially Kate, was loving it! It was sweet to watch her watching him sing. I could tell it really meant a lot to her.

Chesea and Robert Part I

06.02.11

Where to begin. Chelsea and Robert are dear friends from college whom I am so lucky to have met and even luckier to have kept. I cherish the friends I have from college because few of my relationships have lasted the test of time and distance since graduating six years ago. It is hard enough to keep up with my local friends but when you add the element of travel and trying to coordinate busy schedules, well it's nearly impossible to give all of your friendships the nurturing they need to survive and endure. Some people though, seem to give you just what you need when you need it. I don't speak to Robert or Chelsea on a weekly basis or even monthly sometimes but I know when we talk or when we see each other, everything will be just as we left it, just as it should be. I am so thankful to Robert and his family, who was my family away from home during my college years, for taking me in, feeding me home cooked meals (as picky as I was), supporting me and cheerleading for me.

Chelsea, you were and are radiant. You are surrounded by positive energy and you lift the spirits of all you meet. Robert, thank you for being a friend. You are kind, compassionate, great at tennis, which matters in my book :) and you laugh at all my jokes. I am so glad you have found someone who brings out all of your best qualities.

I love you both and am so happy to have had the privilege to photograph your beautiful wedding.

This is part one of two because there are just too many photos that I love.

Grace Wirth:

Your photo's and blog on Robert and Chelsea define why you are so cherished by our family. Gorgeous photo's by an even more gorgeous lady. But darling could you use your skills and enormous talent to take ten years off my face and make me a size 6. I don't know that
I'd love you more but it wouldn't hurt. All jokes aside there are so many beautiful shots that will remind us of that wonderful day. I do want to thank Georgi who was such a darling and made us feel like he was just one of us and not a photographer clicking away. Made for some great moments captured on film. Thank you Georgi. hope to see you Katie, Jeff, Bob and Millie real soon.

Robert Wirth:

You guys did an awesome job!
See you soon.
Rob

Emily and Ethan

02.11.11

To say that Emily and Ethan waited a long time to have the wedding they dreamed about is an understatement. Due to some changing plans and alignment of schedules between everyone involved, this day was a long time in the making and I think that always makes it even more special. I think everyone was amazed when January 2nd turned out to be a mild, almost fall-like day. It was a beautiful morning when Emily and Ethan finally saw one another in their wedding dress and tuxedo. I had never been to a wedding which was designed around brunch and it was really a wonderful idea. I could tell there were so many important people who came from so far away to share the love and joy of both families.
