It's been such a long time since I've seen Kim. We went to elementary school together back in College Point. Seeing her really brought back a lot of good old memories. Kim and I started talking again when we were both planning our weddings. She had a hard time finding the perfect dress, and photographer (luckily we then realized that I was a photographer! Haha!) and we were able to exchange advice and thoughts while planning our weddings. Even through we’re both from New York City, she transported me to Portland, Connecticut to photograph her beautiful wedding day. Kim finally managed to find the PERFECT dress and despite a little bit of a drizzle-- her and Chris pulled off a beautiful wedding! Check out some of the highlights:

Berdian is an amazing illustrator (Nickelodeon and Nick Toons!) and Monica, a buyer at Barneys NY, fashionably tied the knot in Long Island City, New York. These two had been dating since high school!! They both grew up in Queens, met in Queens and currently now work in Manhattan, so decided that it would only be fitting to get married in between the two boroughs. So Long Island City was a very specific choice. I loved their table numbers! Each table represented their favorite foods and hobbies. It ranged from from BACON, cupcakes, guitars to Xboxes. All the graphics were illustrated by Berdian, along with a beautiful sign-in illustration of the two of them laying on the grass. The wedding was a ton of fun, including some amazing dancing and costumes-- and a slow-motion booth!!!!! What an amazing way to have a wedding in New York City!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the day:
