Erin & Michael's Wedding

So while I was in the City photographing Alix & Craig's wedding with Stephanie, Kim was photographing the nuptials of Erin and Michael with one of our associates, Andreas, here on Long Island. They were a referral from Michael's sister who was the bridesmaid of one of our favorite bride's (Megan Cosgrove Lugo) a few years back, and although I was disappointed to miss this wedding, I'm glad that I was at least able to spend a little time with them on their engagement shoot last year.

Erin and Michael really are a great couple and I know Kim had a blast working with them. I picked out about 30 of my favorite images from the day, so grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy!

Alix & Craig's Wedding

We have known Alix's family for quite a while now having first photographed Jessica's wedding in 2004 followed by sister Corinne's wedding in 2007 and now it was Alix's day for the spotlight. We actually met Craig for the first time at Corinne's wedding when our transportation collided with another car outside Madison Square Garden and Jessica, Alix, Kim and myself jumped in a yellow cab and hightailed it to the reception leaving Craig to fend for himself in the Big Apple!! Needless to say, everything worked out OK and two years later we were delighted to be shooting another O'Brien wedding !

It was great to see familiar faces again, Alix looked absolutely stunning, Craig was the epitome of class and handsomeness and the wedding was simply an amazing day set both in the City and Bronx Botanical Gardens.

Alix's make up was picture perfect thanks to Desiree: www.dlafore.com

Dapper ring bearers (who made it all the way down a very long aisle) Oliver and Daniel..

A quick lipstick touch up on 86th Street..

...and the proud moment of father and daughter walking down the aisle..

After the ceremony, I whisked Alix and Craig a half block down the street to get this photo looking south on First Avenue. I was really hoping for a cab or two to set the scene but nontheless, there is a special vibe in Manhattan regardless of 'landmarks' in the shot.

The room at the Bronx Botanical Gardens was spectacular with several beautiful Cherry Blossom centerpieces and elegant lighting throughout...

Now this is Will and Emily. I love Will and Emily. Kim loves Will and Emily. In fact everyone I know loves this couple and that's probably why they attend more weddings as guests than I actually shoot!! Well, perhaps not, but close! It was great to see you guys again and I just had to include a photo of you in this post!!

And an attractive guest getting down to the sounds of Stages band. They rocked all night and had the dance floor packed!

Alix and Craig, we wish you all the best as you embark on your lives together as Husband and Wife. As usual, your folks threw an amazing party and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
