New York City

Scene One

C

hristine and Steve's wedding day started with the bride in New York at the Plaza Athenee Hotel. Christine was looking exquisite and in some kind of zen like state. I rarely see such calm and confidence in a bride. You can see and feel her self assurance in the photos especially the portrait session. Christine really gets it! She truly has a talent for relaxing and being herself in front of a camera. Meanwhile, Steve was getting ready in Westbury and was photographed by my second, Rob Lowell.

The ceremony took place at Old Saint Pat's on Mott and Spring Streets. I am told that Old Saint Pat's is 200 years old and well kept up. A celebrity unto his own, Saint Pat's is an amazing place to have a wedding! The photographs come out extremely well and the colors, wow, warm and rich as you can see.

C hristine and Steve's reception took place at Russo's on the Bay in Howard Beach New York. Russo's, one of the older established wedding venue, has been bringing pleasure to brides and grooms for many years. For those of you not familiar with Russo's on the Bay. Its Italian (as if the name doesn't give that away), the food is exquisite , and they are well know for their killer cocktail hour. The staff is friendly, helpful and downright unpretentious. And the room...well, take a look for yourselves.
