The final installment of Emily and Ricky’s wedding! They had so many gorgeous details, I figured they deserved their own post. Again, Allison Gaetano did a wonderful job collaborating with Emily and Ricky to find details that spoke to them and reflected who they are.

Ricky’s grandmother made this purse. She made one for all the brothers and when they were small they chose which one they liked best and the purse was saved for when the boys got married. This is the one Ricky chose and it was given to Emily for the wedding.

Lots of new developments lately along with tons of weddings and GTKY session images to post. Plus I am rushing as fast as I can to finish my work before vacation next week. Yes, I said vacation! As in like 7 days away, no computer, no internet, no tv just relaxing and having fun. The last time I did that was at least 5 years ago. We are camping in Cape Cod and hitting the town in Boston. I have not been to Boston since I was on tour performing Nutcracker at the Berklee College of Music Auditorium. I think that was 1995. I hear the city has changed a lot since I lived there in 1992/93. Yeah, I’m getting old and dating myself. Why was I in Boston? Well I went to Boston Conservatory as a dance major for a year and went to Boston Ballet for their summer program. I had a wonderful time there and still keep in touch with a few friends I made there. Anyway, this was not the point of the post.
I am really excited to announce 2 of my GTKY session images of 2 fabulous couples (Emily and Ricky/ Nicole and Evan) were featured in an article by Brides NY about favorite places in New York City for engagement sessions. They asked a few of us New York wedding photographers to tell them about off-the-beaten path places to go in the city. The article encourages couples to think outside of the box and explore other areas of the city instead of just using the typical spots like Central Park, Battery Park, Grand Central Station etc. Click the photo below to read the article and view the photos. Keep an eye out because there are more of my images featured in the Brides New York magazine.

Wow! What to say about Emily and Ricky. They are fantabulous. I love hanging out with them. Allison Gaetano, who I worked with when she was a planner with Lindsay Landman Events, introduced us. From the moment I walked into their apartment, I knew we were going to have fun. I am not even sure if we talked about the wedding because there were so many other things to talk about. Emily is gorgeous, sweet and a big tomboy. Ricky is handsome, sweet and likes to play devil’s advocate. He also has a great sense of humor. They both love playing video games, tennis, board games and super competitive. They compliment each other really well.
Ricky’s cousin knew Emily and thought she’d be perfect for Ricky and vice versa. The cousin was right. I absolutely love listening to the toasts during receptions because you learn so much about the couple. Emily’s mom talked about when Em first met Ricky. The voice message she left was giddy, high pitched and she wouldn’t shut up about him. Ricky’s friend said he wouldn’t stop smiling and talking about her . They pretty much did that on the wedding day too.
The details and the moments between them, their family and friends were really beautiful. Allison did an amazing job of designing and coordinating their wedding all the while being maid of honor and a soon to be mommy!
Here is the first of 3 parts. Yes, I think the details deserve their own post and of course all the loveliness that is Emily and Ricky and their friends and family.

These place cards are really cool because they are wooden plates with scrabble pieces as the stand. The scrabble piece completed each guests first name at their seat. I told you they love games!
Emily glowing and smiling as Ricky signs the ketubah
Emily cheering about the ring bearer making it down the aisle. I think he was 4 and very excited about being in the wedding.
Ricky’s best friend made the Chuppah himself. I love the use of actual branches that he found at the summer home they share.
