Leslie and Mike are such warm and fun people who are so in love with each other and their wedding day was extraordinary in every way.

It was everything I hoped for and so much more!!

Leslie did a fantastic job organizing and coordinating the wedding down to the last detail. 

The ceremony, the reception and the after party took place at Carltun on the Park, a fabulous location.

 

Leslie wore a gorgeous Alvina Valenta couture gown.

 

 

All the bridesmaids, Leslie’s parents and Elena, the flowergirl helped with buttoning her dress.

I love the mood of this photo.

Mike and Leslie just moments before the ceremony;  they were so excited to get married!

 

Leslie made a customized postcard for each table with their favorite travel stories and photos.

I love this one - it really shows off their personalities.

 

First dance:

 

I really love photographing the wedding cake and always look forward to it at every wedding.

This cake blew me away!  It looked like a work of art.  I kept going back to the table to photograph it.  :)

 

The dance floor was packed all night.  This dance started out as the Tarantela but somehow turned into the Hora.  It was a lot of fun!

 

After the formal reception ended, the couple and their guests headed upstairs to the cigar lounge where cigars and hot dogs were passed out and a DJ was spinning the latest club hits.  It was so awesome!!

Isn’t this a great portrait of Mike?

 

 

The last two shots of the day in the cigar lounge.  I love these!!

 

Leslie and Mike - thank you for having me be part of your wonderful day!

Enjoy Europe!!
