LESLIE & PATRICK | ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Long-time friends, Leslie and Patrick are tying the knot later this year at Trump Towers. I look forward to seeing how Kehoe Designs translates their creative vision into reality at their wedding this fall. The couple has a modern sensibility that we wanted to capture so we decided to take them around the downtown area one Sunday evening. Here are few of our favorite shots from their session:

JULIA & PETER’S WEDDING

Venue: Sofitel
Décor & Floral: Kehoe Designs
Hair & Makeup: Sonia Roselli
Video: Ben Mahoney of Ben Mahoney Productions

Julia and Peter had two separate ceremonies for their wedding day: a modified tea ceremony and a traditional ceremony at the Sofitel. Sonia Roselli and her associate, Claudia styled Julia out early in the morning at her mother’s home for the first ceremony. Scott and I absolutely love documenting tea ceremonies and all of the family interaction and emotion.

Kehoe Designs did a phenomenal job transforming the ballroom for both the ceremony and reception. Later in the evening, Peter surprised Julia by performing a little set and playing the electric guitar she bought him when they were dating.

Here’s a highlight slideshow from the wedding day:
