destination wedding photography at eden rock / st. barths – the wedding day…

this is how all good destination wedding receptions end.

we do quite a few corporate events and launch parties and I thought that it might be nice to share a few images from one of those.

this event was at the wonderful Cipriani 42nd Street.

just you and 550 of your closest colleagues…

the lovely hostesses

i love it when dads get misty eyed…

we all realize that the photographs we have of our loved ones become worth more to us as time passes on.  this past weekend a 300 year old European Beech reminded me of just how quickly our photographs can sometimes appreciate in value…

The Climbing Tree held forth in a Frederick Law Olmstead designed park near the house in which I grew up.  Of course she predated Olmstead’s work.  She even predated George Washington’s work.  This old tree had seen some history.

“…Her impossibly long and knotted arms twisted out and about every which way – each completely covered with what seemed to be a hundred of years of tattoos – carved scars bearing names and dates and mathematical formulas of lover’s initials circumscribed by hearts.  She was an entire illustrated tree filled with evidence of those who stayed and enjoyed her at least long enough to make their mark.  Those gravity and logic defying branches stretched long and low – perfect for climbing.  She slowly waved them back and forth in the breeze begging passers to hop on one of her bark covered tendrils.    For those climbing aboard she provided a ready-made Indiana Jones fantasy complete with a tangled sea of writhing snake roots waiting to snap at your ankles should you swing too low…”

Occasionally I would stop by with my kids and let them climb aboard as I had done when I was their age and of course, I’d take a few pictures.

but i didn’t give the photographs much thought or place any exceptional value on them – they were just cool snapshots of my kids.

That is until this weekend.  On Sunday I was in the area again and went for a walk in the park and was stunned to find her gone.

My third thought (after, “who the heck would do such a thing”, and “why didn’t someone come up with a creative way to avoid this”) was “Oh man. I’m so glad I have those photographs!”

Sad fact that time eventually robs of us our youth, our beauty, our memories and ultimately, our existence – but the more of that we lose the more our photographs become worth to us.

And there you have it – the climbing tree reminded me of how quickly our photographs can appreciate in value.  Quite simply, before this weekend, I had a few pretty cool pictures of my kids playing in a tree.  I realize now I have irreplaceable treasures.

Alison and Bryce were married in Greenwich, CT with the day’s festivities starting at the Delamar.

Bryce came out for the ceremony to The Imperial March (aka Darth Vader’s theme music).  And the ringbearer sported a sweet corsage.

a quick retreat to Binny Park

and then cocktails….

The band, New York Edge, was great and they helped us get this shot at the end of the last dance.

Early this morning, I met with Capitale’s Director of Catering, Larry Goldfarb and Amanda Len to chat about the upcoming year.  For those of you who may not know, Capitale is a wonderful event space in the old Bowery Savings Bank building on… you guessed it… Bowery Street on the Lower East Side.  If you want a grand Beaux Arts space that’ll fit between 200 and 400 people or so you can’t do much better than Stanford White’s stunning 1895 space.

I thought I would share some images from a wedding we photographed at Capitale in the fall.

They’ve got this great old mirrored brass elevator.

And there’s so much great culture to work with in the neighborhood!

Mike’s wonderful sense of humor…

I wanted to share another wonderful wedding shot by my Associates, Ron and Chris.

i wanted to share another fantastic wedding photographed by Ron and Chris.

erica and danny’s beautiful wedding at capitale.

you’ve got to love a bride in a wedding dress willing to get into a trash filled grafitti covered truck in chinatown -now  that’s heart!

my favorite part of the following overview shot are danny and erica’s new york mets jerseys hanging over their chairs.

and off the newlywed’s walk into the sunset…

on the bowery.
