NYC couple, Colan and Cristy, threw tradition out the window for their beautiful, unique, countryside wedding at Cedar Lake Cellars.  Every detail of the wedding was completely “Colan and Cristy.”  Almost all of the details were hand made by the bride!  She’s a D.I.Y. queen!  The groomsmen rocked kilts and the bridesmaids got to pick out their own dresses.  They were married in a field, with quilts for seating, and rock music for the wedding party and bride’s procession.  Cristy memorized her vows… Colan cheated and read them off his iPad.  The bride and groom weaved through the venue on a Vespa (a nod to their mode of transportation in NYC and the groom’s nickname.)  They had old-fashioned floats instead of a cake and White Castles for late-night snacking!  They even had a mechanical bull for the guests to ride!!  It was all on their terms, they decided what was important to them and shaped a day full of fun and love…. Colan and Cristy might just be the most original couple we’ve ever met!:)

In honor of Artem and Katie’s, (our NYC couple from last year)  1-year Anniversary, we are posting their music video.  Artem & Katie were married last year on September 4th.  Their wedding was one year ago this week!  Happy Anniversary to both of you!  Thanks to www.songfreedom.com we are able to post the video in it’s entirety on our site.  We hope you enjoy this amazing piece!

The big apple is a dream to photograph in, especially when you have a stylish, fun and very “New York-ish” couple like Colan and Cristy!  When Colan said he would like to include his “spicy eggnog Vespa” I knew it would be my kind of shoot!!  Soho with it’s stylish worn and torn backdrops; the vespa; subway adventures;  Central Park for a touch of nature (with the city skyline in the background… priceless!); and the Flat Iron Building, (a NYC icon). All theses props with a couple that wanted a pic of themselves doing a chest bump….  Too much fun!  Thanks Colan and Cristy for having us!:)
