weddings: fay & david

Category: weddings

Let me start this post off by saying I am so happy to have been a part of this wedding. Fay & I have become friends since their engagement session, communicating regularly ever since - I was so excited for this day!

I have to post a few my absolute favorites. This will be lengthy - I need to put the Event’s section up on my website, but until then, be prepared for lengthy posts, with a few descriptions of these weddings through my mind as the photographer. No detail was overlooked at this wedding - the bride did a fantastic job of planning. Stay tuned as said details will be making an appearance on my website with the new area on my site. Until then, I’ll just post a few ;-)

Being a mom myself, I can only imagine what an emotional experience it will be to see my daughters in their wedding dresses.

I definitely will not get into the habit of posting tons of formals here but I had to show these dresses off.

Fay had a Tea Ceremony, and not one but a grand total of three dresses for the day!

She really is a vision.

David’s quite a looker himself.

The tea ceremony is a tradition where the couple serves their elders with tea in exchange for gifts.

After the Tea Ceremony, it was time to party.

The venue, Twenty 21 (for some reason their website is down) was awesome, romantic ambiance, great food.

The centerpieces included…goldfish!

It was really difficult to pull these two away from the dance floor, but I managed to snag 7 minutes.

Then it was back to the dance floor!

Kelly - see you in Santorini ;-)!

Beautiful Anastasia was standing in the outskirts of the circle, jamming to herself!

That top right shot was right before she hops in the middle and takes center stage!

By far the best cake smashing I had ever seen.

Yeah, he got her back. Big time.

Followed by more dancing…

    Laura, I was lucky enough to be a member of Fay & David’s bridal party, and I must say you did an exceptional job capturing every blessed moment of that day. You know you have talent when you can capture emotion and the spirit of the event through photos. It’s great to be able to relive that special day, whenever I want, just by watching the slide show. When my wedding day comes, I hope you’re available to be my photographer!

    These are awesome photos! I was glad to be at the wedding, but looking at these pics allowed me to see things that I missed. You’re a phenomonal photographer. David and Fay looked terrific as well as the wedding party and the guests. Keep up the good work!

    From the first moment we met you, you had the camera up and was flashing away. Immediately we knew you were our wedding photographer. And what can I say, we made the right decision! You are amazing and since Fay and I were not able to see every moment of the wedding, thankfully we had you to capture the day.

Looking at these pics really feels like reliving the day all over again….thank you for making my brother’s wedding that much more special!
