Maureen and Jon at Giando on the Water

I’ve known Maureen from way back in the wild days of Internet, when I maintained a Fordham University message board, so I had been looking forward to her wedding from the moment she got engaged. And she didn’t disappoint one bit, from getting ready at the swanky Hotel Giraffe (though there are sadly no real giraffes there), to a ceremony at the gorgeous St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church, and starting the reception at Giando on the Water just in time for a great sunset over Manhattan.

The wedding featured a gaggle of rambunctious kids who Maureen and Jon kept entertained through the night, and friends and family who made sure the reception, and the photobooth, were hopping.

Dustin Finn - Just loving those outdoor portraits… so awesome…

Natalie Gibbs - That cork shot should win an award.

Ashley Gillett - So many captures of the children, love that! Especially the crawling baby, love that mischievous look he has on his face. The portrait of the bride through the glass/window is super pretty. I’m sure she’s thrilled with your shots. :)

erin - that flower girl photo is killer.

Shell Bailey - These are beautiful. I think you take the best getting ready shots I’ve ever seen. Also, I think you must have eyes on the back of your head to capture some of those little moments.
