Celebrate Good Times

Brittany and Troy both work for the Philadelphia Phillies – Troy is actually the mascot, so we were curious to see how he would be dressed for their ceremony! Luckily he chose a more traditional option – it is rather hot for a furry outfit here… After a fun welcome dinner at Da Conch Shack, their wedding at the Gansevoort had so many lovely elements that came together to make the perfect day, and even had Brilliant Photography calling it a wedding that will go down in history – high praise indeed! Take a look here for photos. Congratulations again Brittany and Troy – it was an absolute pleasure to help make your day so special.

I have been looking at Kristen and Mark on my fridge for months, as they sent me a Save the Date magnet when they started their wedding planning! Time flew by and it was lovely to meet them in person for the start of their wedding celebrations. Their guests mingled during a relaxed welcome dinner at Da Conch Shack the night before the wedding, after which they headed back for a bonfire on the beach at the Sands… A liberal application of rum punch at dinner meant that most of the group decided they’d go for a late night swim in the sea! There was a threat of rain on the wedding day, but against all predictions not one drop fell. A spectacular sunset and amazing sky afterwards made for fabulous pictures, as you can see here, thanks to Ileana from...

The Palms is a beautiful location for a wedding, and Leah and Frank’s day was made even more special with the addition of fireworks at the next door resort- thanks for sharing! We loved Leah’s shoes, with the colour matching her engagement ring so well. Naturally she wanted to wear them to walk down the aisle. The powdery sand on Grace Bay is more suited to barefoot weddings, so she took advantage of our boardwalk – always good for a stylish entrance to a ceremony. Other little details made this a really fun wedding and Ileana at Attimi Photography was there to capture every moment – here are some of the resulting photos. Check out the little...

Wedding dresses are not usually designed for moving at high speed, but Kaylie managed quite a sprint in hers when the rain started to come down as she and Sean finished their sunset photos! Luckily it had stayed away for the ceremony, and whilst it certainly poured down at the start of the reception, guests stayed dry under a tent on the Seven Stars deck. The rain cleared in time for dancing, and celebrations – including fun photos with sparklers – continued into the night… We loved the colours of flowers and bridesmaid dresses Kaylie chose, and the guys’ bowties looked fabulous! See what we mean here, with photos thanks to Andy from Brilliant Photography. Congratulations once again to the happy couple – and a personal thank you...

Natacha and Cherud had a fabulous family shoot with Ileana of Attimi Photography the day before their wedding, so they were perfectly relaxed on the wedding day – as was their gorgeous daughter Natalie! Cherud had everyone in tears with his vows in the ceremony, after which close friends and family celebrated with a delicious dinner on the beach. Take a look here for photos from both days – you don’t want to miss Natalie’s smile!

Nazeema was (naturally!) excited about her upcoming wedding and had lots of plans for little details to enhance the day for her guests. Both her husband to be and I were very impressed with her organisational skills – her neatly labelled files were a planner’s delight! The one thing that was a surprise to Daniel was the groom’s cake that Nazeema sneakily ordered; she wanted to wow him with a replica of his favourite cigars. The “Shhh” cake looked amazing and tasted just as good… Nazeema wanted the ceremony on the west deck at Seven Stars to avoid getting her fabulous dress sandy – although Ileana persuaded her to have a few photos on the beach afterwards. The guests had cocktails at the east deck while reception was set...
