John & Rodrigo flew in from California for their wedding celebration at the Waldorf Astoria, their ceremony at City Hall and a whirlwind day of taking photographs around NYC. We started off with some formal photos around the Waldorf…
And some not so formal photos…
The gardenia boutineers by Belle Fleur were gorgeous and smelled amazing…
No matter how many same-sex weddings I photograph at City Hall – and no matter how excited and jovial the couple is – there’s something so incredibly beautiful & emotional that occurs in that room when they say their vows…
A quick tour of Manhattan then we headed up to Central Park…
Our final destination was back at the Waldorf for cake, champagne and a beautiful poem from witness – and awesome lighting assistant – Mary…
I’m always game for some fun photos, so when John told me he wanted to carry Rodrigo over the threshold I was all for it – especially when they switched places for a few photos of Rodrigo attempting to carry John over the threshold…
It was an honor to be a part of your beautiful day. May you have many years of happiness together.
