The Village Club at Lake Success Wedding – I first met Amanda and Patrick back in 2013 when they booked me to document their destination wedding in Aruba. But due to some unforseen family emergencies, they have to change their date and their wedding venue. Amanda and Patrick are such a nice couple and I wanted to make sure they are taken care of, particularly during those difficult times. So as soon as they decided on the new date, I was able to help them switch with no problem whatsoever. I am very happy to be part of their union at The Village Club at Lake Success. I had a blast photographing them, from the bridal party shoot to the family portraits then to the dance floor…what a fun wedding it was!

One of Amanda’s wedding dresses is a traditional Chinese wedding dress (left photo), which she wore during the Chinese Tea ceremony.

Amanda and her bridesmaids before putting on their dresses – “Girls just wanna have fun!”

Amanda tears up after reading a card from Patrick…

Amanda and Patrick see each other for the first time before the wedding ceremony…

I love this moment inside the Hummer Limousine after their first look…

After Amanda and Patrick’s “first glimpse”, I took the bridal party to the beautiful Old Westbury Gardens in Westbury, New York for their bridal party photos. It is a picture-perfect background for this gorgeous bridal party!

This is one of my favorite photos taken at Lotus pond inside the Old Westbury Gardens.

Beauty and elegance is how I sum up the attire of this lovely couple on their wedding day…

Before the main wedding ceremony, Amanda and Patrick took part in a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. In Chinese nuptials, the tea ceremony is the most sacred ritual. It serves as the bride’s symbolic introduction to the groom’s family. During the ceremony, the bride and groom offer tea to parents, grandparents, and other elders. The bride also receives jewelries from the groom’s parents as a sign of them welcoming her into the family.

Emotions filled the room from the time Amanda walked down the aisle with her father, who just recently recovered from an ailment. This is the wedding of their one and only daughter….

Laughter and tears were a big part of Amanda and Patrick’s wedding ceremony…

It was a joyous occasion for all their family and friends who came from all over the country and from all over the world…Congrats again to Amanda and Patrick! Thanks again for letting me document your special day. I hope you enjoyed looking through their wedding photos. Make sure you leave your greetings for the newly weds in the comments box below.

 Looking forward to document Jovi and Henry’s wedding at Battery Gardens on Sunday.

Jovi was one of the bride’s maids at her sister Anna’s wedding, which we photographed in 2011. That was a lot of fun! I am so thrilled to see Anna and Sharda and now their little baby at Jovi’s wedding.

Check out these images we shot during their last minute engagement session last week –

Then we headed down to Queens, New York for Shonda and Deron’s wedding Terrace On The Park in Queens, NY. I love these series of images while a singer sings a very touching song for the bride and groom during the ceremony…

It’s not every day you can capture a wedding photo with New York’s naked cowboy.  And while shooting the bridal party photos for Leo and Ella’s wedding, we got really lucky bumping into him at Times Square. And that made my number one pick from their wedding images….

Here’s my favorite from Rebecca and Stuart’s Orthodox Jewish wedding at Eden Palace. I love the energy this photo has during their traditional bridal wedding dance….

…who will be tying the knot today at The Church of Saint Joseph in Bronxville, NY. The reception follows at the VIP Country Club in New Rochelle, NY. It’s going to be a lovely day for a wedding.

We met Jaclyn and Johnny through our previous client Meredith from her wedding last year. They are a sweet couple and they chose The Catholic University of America in Washington DC, where they met while going to school, as their engagement session venue. We also went around DC to capture some images showing the beauty of DC at night….check out this image form their engagement.
