You might recall Angela + Marc’s engagement sesion from a couple of months back – she wore that stunning white feathered cocktail dress.  Well she really outdid herself for her wedding day with this little number by Monique Lhuillier.

And her sweet metallic fuschia Loubs.

Angela LOVES fushcia.  And anything that sparkles.  And she used both to their best advantage for her wedding theme.

When I showed up at Angela’s suite I had brought along the Signing Guest Book that we had made from the engagement portraits.  Their reaction just made my day.

We did our family formals outside The Plaza (gotta love those shoes!) And at one point while waiting for a missing family member, Angela decided to give her feet a rest and sit on the stairs.

These are the moments that I live for.   They’re just perfect and they happen by themselves and they only last a moment.  It’s like magic but you do need to be continuously looking for them and pray that you’re ready when they occur.

Downtown at Grace Church…

Apparently the ringbearer was under the impression that Angela might not make it down the aisle – so he decided he would give her some incentive.

There was another ceremony that day as well – a Korean Paebak.  Since this is Angela’s mother’s second paebak, she is exceptionally good at tossing those dates and nuts into the ceremonial cloth.

Apparently, her aim is so good that Angela and Marc will be having 16 children.

Guests were transported back to The Plaza by double decker tour buses.  With pink parasols for the ladies.

And of course, then there’s The Plaza’s Ballroom.

Bentley Meeker does the lighting.  And in the newly refurbished ballroom it’s so well integrated that it’s almost invisible.

And the cake by Sylvia Weinstock.

Marc is the nicest guy.  You could tell he really adored Angela.

After awhile the waiters served flipflops on silver trays for the ladies to change into.

That really helped everyone get their groove on.

Angela and Marc took a moment later in the evening to enjoy the pictures we had taken that day.  Such a great way for the guests to experience all that happened that day that they weren’t privy too.  They go home feeling as if they were there all along.

And as the night progresses, the guestbook begins to fill up.

I really love the space.  If you’re into old world grandeur – it’s hard to beat it.

more from the british west indies http://blog.briandorseystudios.com/index.php/2009/05/28/more-from-the-british-west-indies/ http://blog.briandorseystudios.com/index.php/2009/05/28/more-from-the-british-west-indies/#comments Fri, 29 May 2009 00:07:56 +0000 bd http://blog.briandorseystudios.com/?p=430 There’s just so much great stuff that I want to share from Gen and Steve’s Anguilla wedding that every time I work with the images, I find more I want to share…

Gen on the beach

it almost looks like the shot above and the one below were taken on different days but the entire session on the beach lasted only about 35 minutes.

the bouquet - on the beach in anguilla

Some places are so magical that even when you put down the bouquet for a sec so the bride can use two hands you’ve got something worth shooting.

Kim's shot

the above image was shot by Kim, who, not only is an awesome Studio Manager, but she’s a great photographer as well.

faded beach

this shot below was actually a candid moment from the wedding day itself but i thought it complemented the shot above nicely.
