i LOVE it when all the details come together! tamra and michael’s wedding was a splendid black and white affair. of course, there’s the obvious – bridal gown, groom’s tux, the bridal party attire and flowers, the paper materials. but these two took event design to the next level. from a FABULOUS cake by ron ben-israel to their adorable dog, bella – you’ll have to check out the images below for a glimpse into their black and white wedding.

venue: gramercy park hotel

we’ve seen some really fantastic hair accessories at some of our recent weddings, and it got us talking today about all the brides that stuck in our minds because of their creative hair accoutrement. the list grew surprisingly longer and longer – and we decided we just had to share some of them with you!

from complex up dos to simple, playful ponytails, we’ve seen it all. here are some of our favorites:

we had the pleasure of working with Jeannie Uyanik and Krista from C&G Weddings at Jane and Fred’s wedding at The Lighthouse.  just wanted to get a few images up to share…

“old school holdouts” take note.  in my opinion, it is much better for a bride and groom to see each other before their ceremony to do their portraits.  you just don’t get shots like these below when a couple sees each other for the first time at the altar. (see the tears on Jane’s cheek and on Fred’s jacket?)

If you’re looking to have an old school new york city wedding you can’t do much better than The Plaza Hotel.  Debra however wanted it to reflect a bit of her personality as well so she meticulously planned out some amazing details.

like leopard print and purple table linens…

and these amazing flower filled birdcages…

and a cake to match.

making for a completely new spin on on school.

new york city wedding photography always has to push an envelope in some way – in a city filled with unique people you need to provide unique wedding images in unique locations – like the Ghostbusters’ firehouse.

But let’s start at the beginning.

Dorothy’s ruby red slippers ain’t got nuthin’ on Francine’s tourquoise Loubatins.

and Francine was radiant

as francine and peter see each other for the first time…

mail order bride?

in my photography lectures, I always stress how unique shots are everywhere around us – you just need to have your eyes open, think outside the box and be willing to ask for crazy things with a straight face.

excuse me, Mr. UPS Man, would you mind if we climbed in the back of your truck for a sec?  In the case of the Ghostbusters’ Firehouse shot (top and below), I actually had the Fire Chief move the ladder truck forward to even out the light across the face of the truck and the firehouse.

Below: “The Spectacle” by Ron.

The 18 person bridal party on our way to Tribeca Rooftop.  Keeping the ladies having a good time while avoiding breaking their ankles on cobblestones while in high heels is a neat trick.

I received this note the other day from a bride of mine whose wedding we shot 2 years ago and thought I’d share it.

Hi Brian-

It has been just two years since you shot our wedding and I just wanted to thank you again for the job that you and your team did. Aaron and I were just flipping through our album, reminiscing about the day, and it is amazing how much emotion you were able to capture in all of the pictures. The images bring back all of the memories and the excitement of the day, which can be felt looking through the album.  There are a few in particular that bring me back to the exact moment when Aaron and I saw each other for the first time before the ceremony and it’s like being there all over again.

Our wedding really was one big party- exactly what we were hoping for- and that is the exact feeling we get looking through our album. It was such a special day, one that we and our families love to remember and talk about and we are lucky to have such amazing pictures to look back on.

Thanks again for everything.

All the best,

Kim and Aaron

and a party it was…

Ron and I worked together again when Soyeon and Tim were married at Glen Island.

Here’s a shot Ron took of Soyeon and the girls…

We got into the fact that Tim works for a large aerospace manufacturer and could name for us every plane as it went overhead.

Ron got this cool ceremony shot as Soyeon was walking down the aisle.

Then during cocktails, it was time for the Paebak.

Apparently, since Soyeon and Tim caught so many dates and nuts in their silk as their parents threw them they are going to have 23 children.

If it’s true, I’m wishing you both lots of luck with that…

karli and kevin had our self portrait studio at their reception and once again, it was a huge hit.  this time we fit it into a cute little brick nook.  and as usual, things start out kinda calm…

and since guests see the image that they’ve taken immediatly after taking it – they tend to get incited to riot…

at least until the drinks make the single button remote seem challenging…

karli and kevin were married at the bowery hotel -the first of two weddings coincidentally that we shot at The Bowery in a single week.

i thought karli and kevin’s invitation was really cool.

and although it rained most of the day Karli looked radiant

wait until you see the self-portrait studio shots!
