Tania & Wesley Married: Beckwith Pointe Wedding: New Rochelle Wedding: NYC Wedding Photographer

Tania and Wesley really lucked out with the weather on their wedding day.  It's amazing how in New York City and the surrounding boroughs the leaves take FOREVER to turn.  Looking back on these photos you probably can't even tell that it was fall, which is fine with me.  I LOVE me a little greenery.

This adorable couple said their I Do's as the sun set over the Long Island Sound at Beckwith Pointe in New Rochelle, NY.  It was a visually stunning and beautifully intimate ceremony.  Not only did the bride's sister/maid of honor give a great reading, one of Tania's bridesmaids, Rebecca, brought everyone to tears with her rendition of Natalie Cole's "Inseparable."  

Even though the sun was shining bright and the day was gorgeous, it was a wee bit chilly out.  So I have to give a big thank you and shout out to their families and wedding party for bearing with me.  Everyone was so fun, and so nice, and I just loved how incredibly supportive they all were to Tania and Wesley throughout the day.  

One thing that really resonated with me on this wedding was that Tania and Wesley mentioned on more than one occasion how much they were going to take care of each other.  It may seem like an obvious notion, but the way they emphasized it really struck home for me.  The idea of promising to selflessly take care of another for the rest of your life really is such a beautiful thought, and I have no doubt that Tania and Wesley have everything it takes to live up to that promise.

Victoria & Michael Married: The Madison Hotel, New Jersey: NYC Wedding Photographer

Ya wanna know what's romantic?  I'll tell you what's romantic!  The couple below, the fabulous Victoria and Michael, have been in love since the 6th grade!!  Technically they haven't been "together" that entire time.  But Michael claims he always knew she was the one.  Aww.  Que Romantico!  They truly are the bestest of friends, which I just love.

Anyhoo!! It was probably the most perfect and beautiful early October day EVER.  The sun was shining.  It was a perfect 75 degrees out.  It was awesome.  After the ceremony at Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, we headed over to the Helen Morgan School for pictures.  Yes folks this was the elementary school that Victoria and Michael attended together.  Take notice below of the congratulatory sign the school put up for them.  Too cute!!  Victoria and Michael really wanted to showcase their history, and their fun loving personalities at the same time.  So we took advantage of the school's play ground when it came time to take the wedding party pictures.  

After that we wrapped things up and headed to the Madison Hotel in Morristown, NJ.  The ballroom for the reception had a classic elegance that really suited the couple.  And the JK band totally KILLED it!!  If you are getting married in the NYC/NJ area, you need to book these guys.  I think every single guest was up on the dance floor.  Michael's dad in particular was tearing it up.  

This couple was truly adored by everyone there, myself included.  Congratulations to Victoria and Michael!!!  

P.S. LOVED the collar on Victoria's dress, and her sparkly gold shoes.  Fab!
