and i thought the raw silk runner was a great match for the room…

such a cute couple.

decor was done by the wonderful and fun to work with David Beahm.  Check out the copper mirrored tabletops.

that image you see in the table above is the reflection from the ceiling’s trompe l’oil

clear glass chargers… brilliant.

the grand entrance

the first dance… soul street bringing everyone to the dance floor.

and then this amazing duo came out – Black Violin – wandering with wireless violins – cranking out some classical tunes until the hiphop dj joined in and the 3 of them rocked the house.  awesome!

and the self portrait studio once again was a huge hit with everyone.

The “My Celebrity Wedding” shoot was great. Even though creating a special for television meant that we were adding TV cameramen and soundmen, producers, exec producers, assistant producers, sr. exec. producers, and production assistants to the already tiny space in which we normally try to do our job – they were all so talented that the entire day of filming went off without a hitch. But I mean, really, what can go wrong when you’ve got Carley Roney – Founder and Editor in Chief of The Knot, dressing the bride herself!

I just don’t normally have to contend with giant fuzzy booms …

I don’t want to share too many of the details and spoil the surprises before the show airs, but I will divulge that the wedding was inspired by Christina Aguilera’s. There’s also a long and wonderful backstory on the couple, Jessika and Michael. I do want to share a few shots, however, to whet the appetite of all those people who have been clamoring for more.

Here’s Jessica in her Christina Aguilera-inspired dress…

But the checker cab they hired to bring her from The W to the ceremony site is all NYC – style.

Again, without giving too much away… except the rampant underage drinking…

The time that we normally shoot our trademark fun shots was preempted by the production schedule but we did squeeze in about 2 minutes to grab a romantic rooftop shot at dusk. (it was like 20 degrees farenheit and Jessika was shivering within about 20 seconds but she went on nonetheless)

And on the way back down…

Back inside, event designer David Bheam did a great job replicating the look of the Christina’s reception space -

right down to identical place settings and menus.

Even the cake was a perfect match.

But they added a few of their own touches too.

Since they said that Christina had a “fairy tale wedding”, I was thinking Jessika’s version would be more like, “Charger, Charger on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?”

Just like Christina, Jessika changed into a 2nd dress later in the evening. I think this shot – as she was coming down the stairs just after changing- will give you a sense as to what she looked like in the 2nd dress…

To find out more, you’ll have to tune in to The Knot’s “My Celebrity Wedding” – on the Style Network on April 21st! Who knows, you may even get a chance to see us in action. Wait a sec, does this officially make me a “Celebrity” photographer?
