Wedding Photography for Sam + Brian New York City NY

I love it when I’m the photographer for the wedding of cool people! It’s really such a joy spending the day hanging out with great people, meeting their close friends and family. Sam and Brian are really awesome. I knew from our first meeting that we would have an absolute ball on their wedding day. They are both such friendly, laid back and genuine souls.

September 12^th started pretty early for me. Sam and Brian spent the night before in the same hotel so I was able to get photos of both of them preparing for the day. I stopped by the boys room first for some bagels n cream cheese and a few photographs of them all getting ready, then hopped a few doors down to see Sam. I was so impressed with how well Sam was coping, she was just about as relaxed as I was nothing could ruffle her feathers, not even her father mixing up their contact lenses.

The Hotel was right on 42^nd street, Manhattan. The theory was we with a photographer and six beautiful girls, one carrying a wedding dress, could hail a cab quickly and easily right out front, but that wasn’t quite the case… We finally got our cab and headed to The Blessed Sacrament Church on 71^st St. It’s a beautiful catholic church with wonderful statues and stunning stained glass windows.

Sam’s father had organised a bus tour for their guests after the Ceremony to get them all from the church to the reception venue at Olive Restaurant. It was a great idea that allowed those guests from out of town to see parts of the city they hadn’t seen before and for those that had they got to see it from a different view.

The reception at Olive Restaurant was great, lots of really good food, wine and company. There were a few really moving speeches from both fathers and Brian’s Granny pulled out some props from his past to tell a moving story.

I had a fantastic day as Sam and Brian’s Wedding photographer, here are a few photos from the day.
