Brooke and Joe chose the backdrop of New York City’s quintessential Central Park to get married. To them, Central Park is so close to their home, they practically consider it their second home! (: At the park’s edge is The Hudson Hotel, Philippe Starck’s answer to sleek and stylish slumber. It’s the perfect spot for a bride and groom to pamper themselves and their guests on the day of their wedding! See all the fun getting-ready details below….
Two things that are guaranteed to have me SWOONING on the day of the wedding? A big red barn and a Jenny Packham dress. I’m a serious sucker for rustic details and a flowy, beaded frock. (= What did our Bride, Evan, say her favorite part was? Right next to seeing her groom for the first time, it was the quality time she enjoyed with family and friends. And not just on the day of the wedding, but the entire week leading up to the big event. I’m in complete agreement with her! This probably is the only time in your life when you will have all the people gathered around you who have loved and supported you throughout your lifetime. It’s a profound feeling when you look around the room and realize what each person means to you. Don’t cry! Or do!!! Just don’t forget to take it all in…remember every moment…or better said, remember to remember! xo -Jill
Jessica had never really been to New York before, and it was Brandon’s birthday…so they flew up from Florida and we all met in The City for the sweetest engagement sesh (:
Oh…New York in Fall!!! People live for what it’s made of: crunching leaves on the sidewalk, all things made of apples, that whip of chill in the air, the trip down into the basement (or out to your parents house in Jersey) to switch out your closets with all the cold weather clothes, and GREY….seemingly forever, now grey. I’m going to be honest with you, I’m not a huge fan of Fall. I don’t like it because of what it implies, which is the long, cold winter that lies just on the other side of you, Fall. But because this is a blog about couples who are happy and in love, I’ll try to bring it back around. (= If you’re in love and you’ve got someone to cozy in with you, Fall is not so bad. Especially if you’re engaged and you live in the City that is located at the exact Center of the Universe, New York. Seriously, Brooke and Joe could care less about Winter or Fall. They are going to blaze through it along with their super snuggly kitty, Scout, to keep them warm. They are on a countdown – because as soon as the cold weather lifts, it will be time for their New York City Wedding at the Boathouse in Central Park…and I can’t wait! Congrats you two, and thanks for choosing me to capture every single moment. Hugs! ♥♥♥
If I showed up to photograph your wedding and you told me that you planned to carry a parasol that was draped in tool and embroidered with the words “I Do” … I’d probably furl a brow, tip my head to the side in confusion. The thing I love about the runway, is it’s not supposed to be literal. At the Reem Acra Show, those parasol’s were the best thing I’d seen all year! In light pink and baby blue – heck YES! I often times do wish today’s modern bride would get more creative with what she wears on her head … just for the walk down the aisle. There are so many amazingly long and dramatic veils out there. Perhaps modern doesn’t always mean simple – dramatic is on it’s way back in! xo
