Colleen and Jason

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Here are my favorite pictures from Colleen and Jason’s wedding. I loved their unique approach to planning the wedding: They had their wedding on a Friday, with just a few close family members. Then the following day they had their reception with all their friends, and they had me show a slideshow from the day before to share with everyone.

We had been watching the weather all week, and we were super lucky that after a week straight of rain forecasts, the day of the ceremony was really beautiful.

I went over to their place in DUMBO while they were getting ready.

After the preparations, we walked over to the waterfront park in DUMBO for the ceremony

Colleen’s sister, Kerry officiated the ceremony.

Afterwards, we cruised around DUMBO a bit and snapped some pictures with Jason and Colleen.

When I asked if there was any outdoor cafe nearby that would be a good spot to drop by, the suggested Pedro’s right away. I love the spot and the color outside.

The next day, they had the reception at Smack Mellon. I showed up early to set up the projector, and also to get some pictures of the place. These amazing floral arrangements were done by Phoebe at Opalia Flowers

Colleen and Jason had donuts on their first date, so at the reception, instead of a cake, they served donuts.

They had some beautiful invitations, and had a big poster of it at the entrance for guests to sign.

Colleen and Jason handed out tickets as their guests came in, for a surprise later on in the evening.

In addition to the bar, they had a keg of beer from Brooklyn Brewery.

  • About

    To put it simply, I believe that the day of a wedding is full of great emotion and energy, and my aim is to capture it. I pride myself on my ability to blend in and capture images that tell the story of your day in a unique yet timeless way. I'm based in New York City, and while many of the weddings that I shoot are nearby, I frequently shoot weddings across the US and around the world.
