Stefanie & Eric were married on a beautiful, yet chilly, fall New York day in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.  Their ceremony was held under the Oriental Pavilion.  The guests were invited to fill their custom designed mugs with hot cider or hot chocolate and snack on authentic New York cookies. The design on the mugs is original artwork by the groom!  After a portrait session in the park, we headed over to the Brooklyn Bridge for a few more.  Congratulations Stefanie & Eric!

Stefanie & Eric danced to Ray LaMontagne's "You Are the Best Thing" right after the ceremony was over while all the guests looked on...

I met up with Jessica & Steve at their Park Slope apartment last weekend to capture Jessica's pregnancy.  I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding last summer and was so happy to be a part of the next stage of their lives.  Prospect Park and the surrounding streets provided a lovely backdrop!  Jessica is due in a few weeks and I can't wait to meet their new addition!

I met up with Jackson & Kasey, and their parents in Brooklyn's own Prospect Park for their portrait session.  I met their Mom and Dad, Tara & Kyle, when they were guests at Jessica & Steve's wedding in August - Kyle was the best man. We had a ton of fun! Oh and their Aunt was in the process of making them Elvis Presley costumes for Halloween, complete with Elvis glasses (which will explain the last photo!).

Jessica and Steve were married at the Prospect Park Picnic House in Brooklyn. Their ceremony, performed by Reverend Mary Jane Weiss, was held just outside the Picnic House on the South Lawn of the park. The morning brought heavy rain and thunder, so we weren't sure if the ceremony was going to be outside. But by the afternoon, the sun peaked out and stayed out. All the finger crossing actually worked! One of the coolest details of their day was the bluegrass band, who played the music for both the ceremony and reception. There was spoon, washboard and even saw playing involved. The band was amazing!

Check out the details from their day...

Jessica's fabulous hair and makeup were done by the Beehive Salon in Brooklyn.

Thanks so much to Jayd Gardina, who shot with me all day and took the beautiful ring shot you see above.

There were so many great moments from the day, I had a hard time narrowing them down for the slideshow. Check it out:
