Jefferson Market Garden Wedding
During warm months, garden weddings and waterfront weddings are my two favorites. If the space is private, I confess that I feel relieved. Most of my couples planning informal ceremonies opt for public spaces. And I cherish public parks. At the same time, having officiated so many park marriage ceremonies with strangers taking photos as […]
MoreA Gorgeous Queens Botanical Garden Wedding Ceremony
I love being a wedding officiant for mid-day garden ceremonies anywhere in New York. Each borough has its own Botanical Garden, and I’ve officiated marriage ceremonies in all for both our local couples and destination weddings. As it turns out, I live in the same neighborhood as this very pretty couple, who tied the knot […]
MoreUrban marriage ceremony in a country setting: Garden of Union in Brooklyn
Like any grouping in New York, we are a cluster of different personalities from many different places. Kate’s family is from Virgina, and Mark grew up in Rochester (NY), although his father is from Georgia. Kate and Mark nonetheless managed to find each other at work about three years ago. They then proceeded to encounter […]
MoreQuick Sampling of Ceremony Sites from July 2011
While waiting for my job to officially commence, I managed to sneak a few photos of *some* locations to which I’ve traveled using an “ancient” 35mm Minolta. Yes, that’s a film/analog camera. Please pardon the dusty scans. Having performed twenty-eight weddings in July and now working through my thirty-three weddings this August, I think you’ll […]
MoreJefferson Market Garden Ceremony
I fall a little in love with couples, such as C+P. An almost born new baby and a move abroad to London made their wedding plans extra exciting and intense. As I read the passage below by Leo Marks before they exchanged their vows, they glowed. “The life that I have is all that I […]
MoreSnug Harbor Wedding Ceremony
The Snug Harbor Cultural Center is among the places I often recommend to my couples: it is perfect for elopements, intimate weddings, and large weddings alike. Why? Its diversity! When a couple invited me to officiate their ceremony in the Chinese Scholar Garden, I came early to snap a few shots (more are in the […]
MoreAlmost Autumn Wedding at the Queens Botanical Garden
I’ve professed love for the Queens Botanical Gardens before in warm weather with not a drop of rain. I’ll do so again today because raindrops plummeted from the sky on Sunday. At the QBG, couples have two choices in rainy weather. They can move the ceremony completely inside into the green auditorium. Or they can […]
MoreQueens Botanical Garden Wedding
I’ve officiated at weddings in the Queens Botanical Garden a number of times. I admit that the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Snug Harbor Cultural Center are possibly more romantic and intriguing for photos. Yet the QBG is convenient, has a friendlier staff, and is more democratic when it comes to weddings. Yes, it is […]
