Ross + Brittany

filed in:

I met with Brittany and her mom in Starbucks only a little over a month ago. I was still in shock that Christmas was right around the corner! …. They were in shock that the WEDDING was right around the corner!  It amazes me to hear brides talk about planning their wedding in large cities. Brittany was planning hers in one of the largest of them all, NYC! While this seems intimidating for most people, it was normal life for Brittany. She has lived in New York City for quite some time and so has Ross. The traffic and busy streets are just the norm to them and so naturally, having their wedding in the city was very fitting. This city is where they call home and it was the perfect place to begin their new life together!!

 

Ross and Brittany were married at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park. This quaint venue with beautiful views of the city was the perfect location! How often does a wedding photographer get great images in NYC without tourists in the background?! … NEVER. We were so lucky to have a venue surrounded by central park! The light was golden and the temperature was bearable! It could have been frigid but it wasn’t. It was perfect.

 

Ross and Brittany had friends and family fly in from all over the world. Ross is from London and so most of his groomsmen are from Europe as well and their accents were amazing! As the day went on, the sun began to set over the pond and the ceremony began. Candles lined the aisle and as Brittany made her way to her best friend, I think it’s safe to say that everyone was just in awe of her beauty. You won’t be surprised to hear that Brittany has modeling experience… she’s just gorgeous!! It was such an honor to be a part of their wedding day. Michael and I just loved being with Ross and Britt’s friends and family and celebrating alongside of them in the magical city of NYC. Seriously, after shooting these images, I believe it’s magical. Enjoy viewing the story of their day through my images!!! Ross and Brittany, THANK YOU for allowing us to be there with you on the happiest day of your life!! xoxo

Seriously? Seriously. Wow.  Loved this shot of Michael’s! My husband shot these next two… he’s pretty good don’t ya think?!
Gahhh!! Brittany you’re just stunning!  Winter glowy light is my new favorite! LOVE!
