Queens Terrace on the Park Wedding

Queens Terrace On The Park Wedding

Here are some wedding photos from Kristy and Patrick’s beautiful Queens Terrace on the Park Wedding.  It was a beautiful wedding shared with close family and friends.  We started the day at the Mariott Courtyard near Laguardia Airport for bridal prep then proceeded to The Church in the Gardens in Forest Hills, one of the most loveliest little churches that I have ever been to.  We got really lucky because we missed the downpour by seconds as Kristy and her bridal party just made it into the church.  But that is okay.   After all, a little rain on a wedding day always brings good luck to the couple.  By the time the ceremony was over, the storm had passed and we were able to take some photos outside the church.  The bride and the groom then wanted to stop by the Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows Park for more pictures.

Be sure to scroll all the way down to the very last photo as you don’t want to miss the bride and groom’s table collapse!

Bridal Prep is always my favorite part of the wedding day.  There are always so many stories that play themselves out during this time.

Kristy’s  mom is a singer.  She sang and dedicated a song for the bride and groom.  It was truly a special moment.

And what a moment this was?  Yes, the bride and groom’s table really did collapse but as you can see, they were good sports about it.

I was so excited as the Brooklyn Wedding Photographer at Rachel & Scott’s Brooklyn Winery Wedding in Williamsburg, NY.  After photographing Rachel & Scott’s engagement photos, I knew that their wedding was going to be a blast.  These two are so joyful and are always laughing.  Their goofiness and love for each other just made photographing them and their loved ones such a pleasure.  It ended up pouring buckets of rain on their wedding day but we all know that a little rain on your wedding day brings good luck.  Fortunately they chose to have their getting ready photos at the  Garden Vale Residence at the William Vale Hotel — a suite with a covered terrace the size of most  apartments in NY.  Despite all the torrential downpours and wind that day, the terrace stayed dry enough for us so that we could stage their first look and have their family and bridal party photos taken.

After that we headed over to the Brooklyn Winery for their wedding ceremony and their reception party. There were plenty of tears and laughter and it was certainly a very emotional day for all.  We captured some great moments from their day, moments that they will look back upon for many years and remember them as if it were yesterday.  Congratulations again Rachel & Scott!  It was such a pleasure capturing this special day for you and your families.  May every married day be as lovely as the first.

Your wedding day is a special day in your life, one in which you have dreamed about for many years and one in which you will look back upon and cherish.   Many months of planning go into your wedding day.  And there are many details of the wedding day that need to be picked which include the flowers, the cake, the decorations, the jewelry, the invitations and of course most importantly, the wedding dress.

Last month I got to be a part of the ModShoot which allowed me to experiment and get creative photos of  the typical wedding day details.  The shoot took place at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, NYC, an old building dated back to 1909 that has been transformed as a creative venue for events, weddings, shoots and films.  This certainly was an amazing venue and made for a wonderful backdrop.  I am grateful for the delightful vendors listed below who contributed to this fun, creative and stylized shoot.

I love this beautiful hanger provided by Black Label Decor.  Perfect for hanging your bridal gown.

Recently I blogged Part One of Olga and Gino’s NY Wedding.    The getting ready/bridal prep and portrait all took place in Forest Park, NY.   After all the formal portraits were completed, we traveled to LaVue, which is located in South Brooklyn in the town of Sheepshead Bay.  Known to be a very modern and eclectic looking bar and lounge including rooftop lounge that is open during the summer months, LaVue also holds ceremonies and parties for all special occasions, including Weddings.  If you would like to  read more about LaVue please click here.  Olga and Gino got married in front of their closest friends and family on the rooftop of LaVue.  Fortunately the weather held up nicely.  There were some severe threats of heavy rain and flooding in the forecast but that all cleared up as the sun gods looked down upon them on their wedding day.  After the ceremony finished, we moved on downstairs an we got to capture some fun moments.   Everyone just could not wait to get the party started!  Below are some captures from their Brooklyn, NY Wedding that include the ceremony and some highlights from their reception party.  A special big shout out goes to Charles Eames, who was my second shooter for the day, some of whose photos are sprinkled in with mine.
