Monica + David’s Battery Gardens Wedding by Concept Photography

Erika — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:00:10 +0000

Monica and David got married in a classically elegant, nautical chic summer ceremony at Battery Gardens in Manhattan. They met at St. Francis Prep, a private Catholic school in Queens. He was an athlete and she was a cheerleader, but their love story didn’t start until later in life, when a mutual friend introduced them. Concept Photography captured their beautiful day, filled with DIY details!

Dave and I had searched for the perfect venue for months, a place that would accurately represent who we are. After visiting Battery Gardens, we knew that this would be the perfect place to celebrate our love with our family and friends. Battery Gardens is located at the southernmost tip of Manhattan island, where the East and Hudson Rivers meet. Inspired by its surroundings and our summertime celebration, we decided to use a flair of chic nautical. Using navy blue and hot pink accents, we chose decorative elements that would complement the venue. We then worked with a floral designer to create centerpieces that would complement the evening’s harbor views.

When it came to decor, I tried to keep uniformity stylistically and in color. I was very aware that overwhelming the space with decor would backfire. The combination of the centerpieces, with the decor/table settings we had created and the lighting balanced well and accomplished the tasteful beauty we had hoped for. We also love the miniature house gift and card holder that my sister had specially made for us, which had our names and wedding date on it. It also turns into a mailbox, which makes it all the more special.

By far, the most memorable moment was the moment we said, “I do.” Dave and I were lucky enough to have met at a young age. So when that moment finally that we had talked about so many times came, I felt like there was no one else around, it was just the two of us, taking our vows. I was so excited and overwhelmed. I could never forget how special that moment felt. ~ Monica

Kristy + Daniel’s The Stockade Inn Wedding by Jeff Foley Photography

Erika — Wed, 15 May 2013 04:00:35 +0000

Kristy is just one of an entire family of librarians, so it only made sense to incorporate a book theme into her wedding day! (Although I’ll bet you’ve never seen a librarian wearing shoes that sparkly!) I love the library card catalogs, in particular. Kristy and Daniel got married in October at The Stockade Inn, and Jeff Foley Photography even made time to take some photos of the couple at the Schenectady Public Library.

Sylvia + Stevan’s Arizona Snowbowl Wedding by Tangled Lilac Photography

Erika — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:00:24 +0000

Sylvia and Stevan met in Flagstaff when she was finishing college. They had a lot of mutual friends and immediately felt a connection. They since moved to Stevan’s home state of Washington, but they wanted their wedding to be held in the mountain town in which they met. They were married on the deck of the Arizona Snowbowl Resort, surrounded by family, friends and wildflowers! As guests arrived, they signed into a book Stevan crafted himself. He also made the wine box they used during the ceremony. Their day was perfect and filled with lots of special details, as captured by Tangled Lilac Photography.

Great Gatsby Wedding Inspiration Shoot by Brinkerhoff Photography & Stonebridge Manor

Erika — Fri, 10 May 2013 12:52:48 +0000

The wedding world has caught Gatsby fever, but what’s not to love about a Roaring 20s inspiration shoot? Lavish, luxurious and swanky would be the words to define this styled event inspired by the novel and film. Stonebridge Manor hosted and designed the shoot and Brinkerhoff Photography captured the details, which included a Rolls Royce, a decadent tablescape and even cigars!

We wanted to embrace the novel’s original intentions while having a framework of things that could be do-able for today’s bride! The only thing that could have made this shoot better would be having Leonardo DiCaprio himself. ~ Teagan Mercer, Stonebridge Manor

Autumn + Chris’ Succop Conservancy Wedding by Krystal Healy Photography

Erika — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:14:07 +0000

Autumn and Chris had a lovely, DIY rustic wedding last fall at the Succop Conservancy, an Audubon Society reserve in Western Pennsylvania. Autumn created amazing handmade details, ranging from chalkboard signs to burlap banners, all of which beautifully complemented the natural venue. As their guest book, the couple had guests write notes on a burlap square so that they can turn them into a quilt. They both love apple cider, so they had an apple cider bar for part of the cocktail hour. Guests found their seats at the reception courtesy of a vintage window pane with handwritten names and personalized bottles of wine on each table. Krystal Healy Photography captured their DIY outdoor wedding.
