I had so much fun hanging out and photographing Simon + Amy’s Wedding day! They are a really great, down to earth couple – a characteristic guaranteed to produce fun and beautiful photographs, which we managed to capture plenty of. Our day started off early in lower Manhattan, around the south street seaport where both S + A were getting prepared. I love photographing in this area and this time of morning was perfect as the wide, cobblestone-street were still quiet. The cobblestone streets help me to imagine what Manhattan was like all those years ago.

I had a great portrait session with the guys while the girls performed their finishing touches. We had a bit of a laugh and a strut down the alleyways. Once the girls were all ready we spent some time on the waters edge taking bridal party photos and family portraits with the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge before jumping on the water taxi over to DUMBO.

The ceremony at Five Front restaurant was great! It was an honest, heartfelt ceremony in the lovely outdoor section with beautiful trees and a big old, rustic brick wall as our backdrop. The reception was inside at Five Front restaurant, so Simon, Amy and I had some time to slip out and take some portraits through out DUMBO while the catering staff got everything prepared. Again, Simon + Amy’s fun, easy going approach to things made the session so much fun and my photojournalistic style really captured the love and joy that Simon + Amy have for each other!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a New York Wedding without some NYC subway photography. So, to wrap up the day the Bridal party and I jumped on the A line back to the South Street Seaport for a fun little photo shoot. It was a great way to end the day – laughter and smiles all around.
