Tonight I’m meeting up with potential wedding clients in Gramercy.

This weekend was fun, my boyfriend and I went to the New Museum on Bowery yesterday. We went on the slide installation and browsed other interesting art in the building. I took this picture of him on the rooftop! I love this picture of him so much that I’m going to blow it up and frame it!

Celina + Dominic’s Times Square Wedding – 11.11.11

susanshek — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:10:25 +0000

I was waiting to photograph this wedding for a long time. Sharing the last wedding I shot in 2011! Celina + Dominic contacted me last year regarding their wedding. The moment we got together, we clicked and I understood exactly the style Celina and Dominic appreciated. We had a fun engagement session at the MTA museum and the pictures were perfect! Their wedding was held in Times Square at the Millenium Hotel and the Hudson Theater next door. It was a big ceremony in the hotel, then the reception and dancing was in the breathtaking theater. So many people were getting married on this day. We took a lot of fun pictures outside through the crowded Times Square. My second photographer, Mike, was also assisting me in photographing their wedding!

Emily and Sean met with me a couple months back to discuss the planning of their wedding. We set up the engagement shoot so they would have pictures for their announcements and to share with family and friends. Their wedding is not until July, but we definitely had some nice fall weather to enjoy before Winter arrived. Love the trees and how wonderful they photographed together!
