Amy and Jarred were married on June 26th on a cloud covered day in upstate NY. They had such rockin’ style! Jarred has been working on building his motorcycle so it was one of the centerpieces of their ceremony and complemented Amy’s pink accents perfectly. Amy and Jarred opted to see each other before the ceremony so we had plently of time before and after the vows to shoot. It was such a fun time, everyone was calm and collected and Randy and I felt like one of the gang! Since we refuse to let rain ruin our picture-taking-time we decided to embrace the drizzels and start taking portraits. We got some black umbrellas, but once we got a couple shots of Amy and Jarred the clouds parted and the rain disappeared! Rain and shine, the best of both worlds! At the recpetion no time was wasted, the DJ got Amy and Jarred right out onto the floor for a non-traditional everyone get out here and party style first dance. It really was such a blast! Congrats to Amy and Jarred! Thanks for making Photo Pink a part of your awesome day!
April and Keith were married June 19th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort. April and Keith designed their wedding to be an amazing vacation for all of their guests (and for their photographers too!) Their wedding day started with a 9:30am ceremony on the roof of the resort followed by a very tasty breakfast (with an omelet bar and all sorts of muffins and other yummy treats.) Their reception wasn’t until 8pm. That meant that April, Keith, and all of their guests were able to spend the day laying on the beach (getting awesome frozen drinks delivered,) swimming in the ocean, floating in the pool, eating great food, or even napping; whatever you wanted to do the day was all yours. It was incredible.
April wore a gorgeous, shiny, leopard print gown with a red petty-coat (and looked absolutely stunning.) Keith looked awesome too in his plaid sport coat and black pants. His cuff-links and tie-pin were 1950′s pin-ups. They looked like the perfect 1950′s Hollywood couple.
Congratulations to the most bad-ass bride and groom ever, April and Keith!
Penny and her new husband Brian are an amazing couple. Smart, talented, cool, and lovely. They are experimental film-makers so instead of a traditional wedding reception, they held a reception film festival showing their work and the work of their film-making friends.
Penny’s film for Brian was truly extraordinary. Here’s Penny’s description…
“In the summer of 1977, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on an epic journey into interstellar space. Together and alone, they will travel until the end of the universe. Each spacecraft carries a golden record album, a massive compilation of images and sounds embodying the best of Planet Earth. According to Carl Sagan, “[t]he spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says something very hopeful about life on this planet.”
“While working on the golden record, Sagan met and fell madly in love with his future wife Annie Druyan. The record became their love letter to humankind and to each other. In the summer of 2010, I began my own hopeful voyage into the unknown. This film is a love letter to my fellow traveller.”
I would describe her film as an ode to intelligent love. A intellectual reasoning of why, in this age of uncertainty, marriage is still a risk worth taking. If you have 16 free minutes, please watch it. I’ve never seen anything like it. Truly exceptional. Truly beautiful.
Their wedding was completely DIY and Etsy created. Here are some of the most awesome things…
Penny’s bouquet was handmade using reclaimed fabrics and her bridesmaids assembled their own bouquets using crepe flowers from etsy sellers (and they were stunning!)
One of my favorite details was the flags that people held up as the couple walked back down the aisle.
Another amazingly creative detail was the flower girl basket filled with little paper birds cut from antique maps.
Penny’s guest chart was a work of art. It was a tree showing every guest’s name with the different colored leaves representing how they know Penny and Brian (and was made by Penny!)
One last great thing about Penny’s wedding was that her beautiful Birnbaum & Bullock gown was purchased from The Bridal Garden. It’s a non-profit bridal boutique that sells couture and top designer gowns at up to 75% off. All proceeds go to benefit children in New York City.
There was so much thought that went into making this wedding unique. Pretty amazing.
Please do check out Penny’s film. It’s hopeful and beautiful and well worth the 16 minutes.
When Kelly and Trent were planning their wedding they had to come up with a clever way to transport their guests from Central Park (where their ceremony was taking place) to the reception (at Lincoln Center.) Their solution was pure genius… they hired a NYC tour bus. Being that most of their guests were not from the New York area it was not only a cool way to get where they need to go but informative and totally fun.
While the guests were on their NYC cruise, Kelly, Trent, Konrad, and I were taking our own little photographic tour around the city. Look below for their adorable pics of Central Park (including a pedi-cab ride,) Times Square, and Rockafeller Center.
And of course one of my favorite things was that their wedding color was an awesome shade of pink. I am in love with Kelly’s awesome shoes (both pairs!)
Photographers: Liesl, Konrad, and the awesome Jenny Calivas (who rode with the guests all over the city.)
So the title of this post has a lot of superlatives in it. But they are all completely necessary. As I have said in an earlier post , I love Marisa and Adam. They are awesome. And I am so incredibly jealous that Amanda got to be the photographer for their wedding. Damn. Anyway, Marisa and Adam were married on June 5th at the lovely Pearl S. Buck Estate in Perkasie, PA on June 5th. As you can tell by their pictures, it was one freaking amazing shindig.
One of the most awesome things about Marisa and Adam’s wedding was their logo. It tied all of their details together. Possibly the cutest, most appropriate logos ever designed. See below for some of its many adorably awesome incarnations.
So jealous…
Congratulations to the stunning Marisa and her hot new husband, Adam!
Photographers: Amanda and guest photographer William Wrobel
SweetAdeline -Hooray!! They are gorgeous. I love your photo comments the best. You’re a genius, Liesl. And just because my pictures are up won’t stop me from stalking your blog. :-)
