I’ve photographed my share of Brooklyn Botanic Garden weddings, but Patty and Tim’s summer wedding at the BBG was so inspiring! From the bold pinks and oranges of Seaport Flowers’ bouquets to the lush summer greens in the BBG’s summer garden, this wedding was definitely a stunner. It’s been such a busy Fall that I’m just getting around to posting some film images of Patty & Tim’s wedding from late summer. I photographed Patty and Tim’s wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on a hot and humid August day…

Living and working in Park Slope, in close proximity to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, I’m fortunate to photograph weddings, engagements, and family sessions at the BBG. Shira and Jim married under a beautiful Hebrew tallit-turned chuppah, enveloped by magnolia and cherry blossoms. This was one of the most scenic Jewish ceremonies I had seen, and Shira and Jim really used the BBG’s grounds to its fullest. Now’s the time to plan your engagement, elopement, family and maternity sessions with Karen Wise to catch all the spring flowers at peak bloom!

Yasaman and Ian’s summer Yasaman, an architect, chose the perfect New York venue to depict her passion. Yasaman and Ian’s wedding day was no different than a typical Saturday in July! It’s usually a challenge to photograph sweat-soaked guests, but in Yasaman and Ian’s wedding photos, you could not tell that it was a hot day!

I love the film photography I shot at a wedding at Hotel on Rivington and Angel Orensanz. The images of Criseida getting into her dress were so infused with light, and the joy can be felt in the images with her mother and friends on the balcony. These 4 images were shot on Kodak Portra film, at the end of a warm October day. Crissy, with her mother and friends soon after strolled over to Angel Orensanz to meet her groom.
