It is always a pleasure when a couple books you for their engagement photos and then love those photos then book you for the wedding! I enjoyed capturing Samantha and Eugene's New York engagement photos at the High Line and honored to have captured their wedding. They both got ready at the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island. If you look closely you can see Samantha and Eugene's special friend with Samantha as she got ready. Can't leave home without him! While I was capturing the ladies getting ready, my 2nd photographer, Hendrick, was capturing the men getting ready and hanging out. It definitely is worth having two sets of eyes for a wedding! The ceremony took place at the beautiful St.Patrick's Place also located in Staten Island New York. When Samantha walked down the aisle Eugene had tears in his eyes as he watched his bride make her way down the aisle with her parents. It was a beautiful moment and when they said their vows, and the priest announced Eugene may kiss his bride, the church rang with applause. Right after Samantha and Eugene did their secret handshake commemorating the moment. We were off to the Palisadium in New Jersey for the reception and everyone was happy to welcome the new Mr and Mrs into the dance floor. It was a day to remember and a New York and New Jersey wedding photography we cannot forget.
Congratulations again to the fabulous bride and groom!
