jeannine & joe

i first met jeannine and joe while shooting tracy and ryan's wedding last year while everyone was enjoying  pizza from joe's brother's pizza truck, mmm.... we met up after the wedding and talked about their nyc tribeca rooftop wedding and i knew it would be a fabulous event. jeannine is a beauty blogger so i knew she would put together an awesome look. you can check out her site beautysweetspot here...you may have even seen her on a tv segment or two...

the beautiful smyth hotel for both jeannine and joe's preps....

the scrumptiously pink amsale bridesmaid dresses...

oddly enough, i had a dream about jeannine's wedding dress about 6 weeks before her wedding. i dreamed up some material i can't even put into words and her dress had some red in it. i had a feeling my dream was all wrong, i had a vision for what jeannine would wear. when i told her about my dream she told me how her original dress just wasn't working (but it was the kind of dress i had envisioned) and she had switched to a whole different dress. anyone that has been married knows that picking out a new dress just a few weeks before your wedding is daring, and while i know jeannine's original style would have looked awesome... i super loved what she ended up going with....

jeannine is no stranger to the make-up chair...

the choos and some random nyc building...(that was sarcasm)

i stopped over to joe's room to see what he was up to...

love this...

love the happiness...

looking handsome...

in a wedding dress... stepping into a dress...

time to put the choos on...

i loved this series...

couldn't decide on my favorite...

jeannine's dad heading to see her all dressed up...

beautiful church...

love it!

jeannine and joe were surprised with a butterfly release when they came out of the church... i love jeannine's expression of awe and wonder....

i can't quite explain it... but this pic makes me think of a celebrity wedding shot in a magazine (but much better quality light :o) )....

simple, classic and clean...

checking out their rings...

love...

the clouds rolled in really fast and we darted for the cars.... i was literally running backwards as i shot this. when i was kid, i actually broke my arm walking backwards so this is a big win for me to not fall over and get awesome shots... 

and we made it to the car before it downpoured!

jeannine arriving at the tribeca rooftop...

lots of veteran weddings guests....

tracy and ryan... love to see them still enjoying one another...

ryan and his mom... awesome family!

we had just a couple minutes to grab a rooftop shot...

28 dresses and ryan working the camera for me...

hah!

it was such a pleasure working with jeannine and joe throughout their wedding planning and wedding day.  so much fun to see past couples and wedding guests again. i always say it and i mean it when i say it... i have the best clients! 

many thanks to my awesome assistant brian for helping me out...
