The New York wedding is a very special sort of creature. Traversing space and place, history and the present, it brings together people, cultures, character and tradition into one very unique sort of mix. It’s hard not to love a couple who puts as much into their day as Angela and Angus. Perfectly suited for the temperament of the City, they brought their own unique style with smiles, charm, and a simple joy of being present. It was a pleasure to be there for the ride.

When I close my eyes, I see big, bold smiles. A day full of big, bold, beautiful smiles in an intimate reception at the top of the Nomad Hotel. I see New York’s wonderful skyline in the background, and I feel the night’s cool breeze blowing through a warm and heartfelt reception. That’s the thing about this city. There’s always a bit of magic in the air, and you could feel it all throughout at Rachael and David’s wedding.

There’s always a certain tension in New York. An unpredictability. Never quite what you expect, so often more, it’s a raw serendipity that underscores how beautiful it all really is. Watching Ashley and Josh on the waterfront overlooked by a capped Lady Liberty in a celebration full of heart and warmth reminded me of this magic. By the end of the night, as the sounds of dance and song drifted into the quiet stillness of the snowy night air it was hard to think that the day was anything less than perfect.

You can see it all in a second. You can see it in the arch of a back on the dance floor, as her character explodes in a rhythm and flow that’s hers and hers alone. You can see in the flow of his hair, the way they sat, stood, or stared. It was in the eyes of their guests and the pulse of the day. All of that was Rieko and Mark – a couple possessed of certain something that says they walk their own walk and find their own path, all the while inhabiting a perfect Brooklyn sort of day. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
