Wedding: Meredith + Eric | Bronx Zoo, New York

Meri + Eric, Bronx Zoo - we have been excited for this wedding since last winter when we shot their engagement session around NYC. And now that the day has passed and I'm sitting here looking at their photos, I'm having trouble deciding what I want to say! This wedding is really what we (Tim and I) are about. We are lucky to connect with a lot of amazing couples and while it is difficult to put into words, it is the emotions behind the day becoming part of the photo that helps to make our work real and authentic. Meredith and Eric were so happy, so in love and so excited to get married - their enthusiasm and love filled up the reception room and was infectious! We were so excited for them, so honored to shoot their story and so happy to now call them friends. Many congratulations to you guys - have fun looking through my many, many favorites (Meri - I threw in a few extra for you since today is your one month anniversary :).

I'm posting this image first because I just love it. Tim shot this and I really think it is just so representative of the day...








Love this - Meri and her dad...


One of my favorites - shot in the elevator on the way down to see Eric for the first time!

While I was shooting the above photo, Tim was getting the photo on the right...gotta love teamwork :)










These three images from the ketubah ceremony are just perfect. Love them.














The ceremony started after sunset and lasted into dark, love both of these.




So, the reception details were just out of control, especially the amazing lighting and great room!
