Image of the Month: Lindsey & Brian in Brooklyn

It's been a busy summer. After my own wedding in May, I came back to New York and photographed 5 more in June!

August is the month that many New Yorkers take off. Many day trip to the beach, or take a long weekend away… This August I find myself shooting and editing, but also catching up on creative projects like painting my home/studio a few new shades of white :)

A few weeks ago, I photographed Lindsey and Brian in DUMBO, Brooklyn. DUMBO stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It's a quaint little neighborhood between 2 bridges, with much cobble stone, textures and views – a beautiful backdrop for any photo shoot. Lindsey and Brian, who are joint owners of a greenhouse in Nyack, have a love for flowers and for Brooklyn, and decided to tie the knot at a gallery space there.

Because they sell and look at flowers on a daily basis, they wanted something really different for their wedding. Lindsey's bouquet was one of the most unique bunch of flowers I'd ever seen! According to Blossom and Branch who designed it, it was a collection of cymbidium orchids, scabiosas, artichokes, croc ferns, succulents, viburnum berry, safari sunset and fern curls.

The bright colors and hearty textures played perfectly against this rustic historic district of Brooklyn.

Lindsey & Brian’s Smack Mellon Wedding

Lindsey and Brian’s Smack Mellon Wedding:

Congratulations to Lindsey & Brian on their super fun and cool Smack Mellon wedding! There was so much love, joy and fun had at this DUMBO Brooklyn gallery wedding. Thanks to Style Me Pretty, for featuring this wedding on your beautiful wedding blog. You may see the post here.

Lindsey and Brian were married at Smack Mellon Gallery in DUMBO, Brooklyn on June 11, 2011. Lindsey got ready at the Gaansevoort Hotel in downtown Manhattan. Since Lindsey and Brian run their own business together in Rockland County, a greenhouse/greenery, the flowers were very important to them. They didn’t want anything “generic” or “common” to NY. (Apparently Hydrangeas and Peonies fall in that category!) Lindsey requested more tropical arrangements. There were succulents and many other wild blooms in tropical colors in her bouquet and around the rustic venue. She was thrilled when she saw Blossom and Branch’s work.

Brooklyn was also very important to them, as they both lived here for a while. They fell in love with their venue as soon as they saw it, the rustic nature of the building, and the proximity to the cobblestone streets and bridges in the background. As Lindsey was particular about the flowers, Brian’s main request was to have burgers at the wedding, and so their caterer, specializing in BBQ, made mini burgers for them and their guests. One of our main focuses was the food so finding caterers who understood what we were about – no-frills, good food that our Italian families would be happy eating. CaraLeo were exactly that!

It's been a busy summer so far. Since my own wedding in May I've shot 5 weddings!

Before delivering the film prints I've been photographing them on my table. Love the color story it tells…

Dominick Hotel Soho Wedding

Veronica and Nick’s gorgeous Dominick Hotel Soho wedding in NYC had so many gorgeous details. I shot mostly on film for the wedding, using Kodak Portra with my Contax 645 camera. At the time, I was using the wonderful Chelsea Photographic lab in Manhattan to process, scan and print my images.

Veronica held a stunning magenta and burgundy bouquet of roses and ranunculus designed by Fleurs. Her stunning silver shoes were by Roger Vivier and complemented her elegant Vera Wang gown. The venue, the Dominick Hotel Soho, formally known as Trump Soho has incredible views and because it was a perfectly clear day, we were able to shoot a stunning portrait session in the glass-encased penthouse. I’m thankful for these views and the clear skies, as it was a chilly winter day!
