I had the honor of photographing my friend Jen and her now husband Reinder’s wedding ceremony last Thursday at City Hall in NYC and I am so happy I joined them. They are such a beautiful couple and are so in love. It makes me happy to know they have found each other.

He wore a blue velvet jacket with blue pants and she looked gorgeous in a silvery blue satin dress. The spring inspired bouquet was handmade by Jen herself and filled with little pink roses and purple lavender goodies. The “love” plaque they added was a nice touch as well.

Although a little nervous, both Jen and Reinder were excited and couldn’t wait to say their vows. What a beautiful moment it was to see them finally kiss as husband and wife. It was an honor to be a part of it all.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Hope you like them as much as I do!

I recently had my engagement party and wanted to share the decor with my readers. I always like to keep decorations simple but fun and this was a surely a great example of that. For any party, it is good to have sections for people to go to. I created a gathering area where people can talk and chill out and munch on some snacks. The food area was where I presented all the yummy eats for the day and a small section was dedicated to our engagement story.

I focused on pastels, lace and whimsy decor, all handmade by yours truly. From flower pinwheels and cute little tags to white flowers and herbs, the look and feel was a tiny introduction to our wedding next May. Nature inspired, Spring’s beautiful colors shined bright without blinding everyone! I also have to give a shout out to my cousin Diana and Aunt Deb for giving me a number of paper poofs they used for Diana’s engagement party the weekend before. Recycling is always a bonus! I am happy to say the party was a huge success 🙂
