NY Metropolitan Club Wedding with David Tutera

Just a week ago, I ventured to New York to photograph a wedding designed by David Tutera and his amazing team. Their art shone at the Metropolitan Club, where both the ceremony and the reception were held. This club, adjacent to Central Park and across from The Plaza, is majesty in Manhattan. And all of David’s ideas worked to enhance the beauty already present. The lighting used to highlight the ceilings, the elegant floral display with just the right degree of opulence, the candlelight thoughout, the crystals dripping from the centerpieces…. all a perfect match.

Here’s a peak of the wedding’s style and elegance…

The guests were welcomed by this stunning ball of roses with ivy.

The ceremony began in this splendid space at the Metropolitan Club. I love the red draping along the doorways and the beautiful paintings above. David accented the walk down the aisle with this amazing floral archway which the bride walked through on her way to the huppah.

And the huppah felt like a private sanctuary of flowers.

Music accompanied the guests, the bride and her attendants as they entered the space.

The guests then gathered in the Marble Room for cocktails and hors d’euvres.

Later everyone retired to the Metropolitan Club’s dining room for dinner and the remainder of the reception.

The wedding was truly elegant and sophisticated. The experience for the bride and groom and their guests was magical.

A huge thank you to the whole David Tutera team and everyone at The Metropolitan Club. What a truly stunning event! We can’t wait to work with you all again.

Cakes, Glorious Cakes!

A couple of weeks ago, we participated in the Baystate Bridal Expo. At these types of events, not only do we get to connect with fabulous brides and grooms, we also get to meet some of our peers in the wedding industry. And I always make sure to stop by the cake vendors’ booths. Probably my favorite part of the show is getting to sample their offerings. The cakes by Konditor Meister and Ivy’s Fine Cakes were out of this world yummy. Dave was able to grab a couple of pix of the Konditor Meister cakes. I am so impressed with the artistry involved. Don’t they look out of this world?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We wanted to share a little of the joy we get to experience on a regular basis as wedding and portrait photographers. So here’s our tribute to all kinds of kisses and celebrations of love from 2008. We were so lucky to be a part of these joyous moments- simply inspirational.

And now on to the smooching….

Site Visit: Cambridge Wedding Chapel

I recently reconnected with an old friend who is now a minister in Cambridge, MA. We grew up together and since have both lived all over the country so it was great to catch up. And it was also great to get to tour his church, Swedenborg Chapel. Oh my goodness, this is the epitomy of a picturesque New England church. I adore it. It is cozy and historic and beautiful. A great place for a wedding.

Details: Krista & Andy’s Wedding

Krista and Andy married this summer and you will not believe the fabulous touches she gave to her wedding. Everything from her wedding dress to the cake had her signature on it. The result was simply amazing.

Krista picked a beautiful dress by Paloma Blanca, but added her own look to it- a Japanese inspired sash.
