Femi and Mark- NYC

Femi and Mark were my first NYC city wedding. It was an incredibly beautiful day in August and all their details and planning made the day like a modern fairy tale. For me, it was a nice extra challenge to include parts of the city to capture not only the bride and the groom but to also showcase their setting.






Trying to get a cab...





Femi and Mark got married at one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen in my life- The famous St. John's the Divine on 111th and Amsterdam. Photography during the ceremony was frowned upon as the church finds it to be distracting- I don't disagree. But located outside of this church was a gem of a garden that we used to take some pictures. I love this shot of them in this secret little church garden.






After the ceremony Mark carried Femi across the street to their favorite weekend coffee shop.



The two of them hammed it up and role played their regular weekend activities of reading the paper with some coffee...funny how Femi turned right to the wedding announcement page!





Femi and Mark had their reception at a wonderful Italian restaurant on the upper west side called Nonna. The light in there was beautiful. The sweetest part of the wedding for me was when Femi and Mark played together. It was an incredible wedding moment. Congratulations to the two of you!
