elece & michael

elece and michael were married on a blustery autumn day in new york city...

there are some people in life, that when you first meet, you feel as though you've known them for a long time...

bride in a cab...

i wish 'bluster' meant what i wanted it to mean because then i would say....'there is that bluster i mentioned...'-- but, in reality, that sentence would make no sense. but you get my point...

so much happy in this photo...

i was not prepared for elece and michael's ceremony, not because there was some tricky lighting or unexpected event, but because it was the most heartfelt, touching ceremony i have ever photographed. the officiant, unrelated to elece and michael, had to stop the ceremony to get a tissue herself...that is some powerful stuff.

ok, here is the part where i start to choke up.... any girl would gush over the words michael said to elece---you can just see how completely touched elece is by michael's words. so beautiful...

elece surprised michael and the guests with a clip from the movie 'up' that had been referenced in their vows. the first time i saw the sequence, i bawled. it was beautifully done and hit home. put this moving sequence together with elece and michael's vows and i'm a tearful mess. i could tell the guests were all moved. it was an incredible feeling in that room...

elece and michael had their wedding at astor center and some amazing food by the good knife

i wonder if this guy knows there are two people making out in his pocket?

ties... not only known for being used to create rambo-style headgear, but also for making impromptu limbo lines...

photo booth fun...

i look forward to spending more time with elece and michael in the future and watching their love blossom even more!
