While half the world traveled to China for the Olympic games, Karen and Ashok, a couple from Hong Kong, came to New York City to get married on 8.8.08.
We took photos at some of the classic New York City landmarks and we also stopped at some fun spots such as the Apple store on Fifth Avenue. The weather went from gorgeous and sunny to thunder and rain and back to sunshine - quite a rollercoaster.
Karen and Ashok - Congratulations and best wishes!!

Ann and Matt’s wedding ceremony and reception took place in the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Battery Park overlooking the Hudson river and the Statue of Liberty.
The whole day was a visual feast to the eyes from the colors, through the details and to the locations - everything was planned out so perfectly.
Ann and Matt decided to see each other before the ceremony then the whole wedding party was off to DUMBO for a couple hours of fun and photography. Ann and Matt even arranged a checkered yellow cab from Film cars as the perfect prop for their portraits. Photographing in the Tobacco warehouse was a blast and the whole wedding party enjoyed this little piece of Brooklyn history.
The ceremony, held by Rabbi Jill and Father John, was emotional and touching.
Then the party was on in the Ballroom. The table settings and special lighting reflected Ann and Matt’s choice of colors of black and white and red theme. It was stunning and elegant.
Excellent entertainment was provided by Skyline Orchestras.
The gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces were created by Flower Barn.
And to make sure the whole day went smoothly, Sarah from Brilliant Event Planning was in charge and she did an amazing job.
Ann and Matt - it was a truly fabulous wedding and I am so thankful that I was part of it.
Congratulations and much happiness!!

Christine and Carl flew in from Stockholm to get married in a beautiful outside ceremony at Fox Hollow.
Reception immediately followed in the Winter Garden room.
Christine carried a big gorgeous bouquet of her favorite flowers, sunflowers, with crystal branch highlights.
The bridesmaids all wore blue dresses and the cake was also blue with yellow daisies - the same colors as the Swedish flag.
The couple exchanged rings and vows and also lit candles in lanterns symbolizing the joining of two families.
Christine’s mom helps with the dress.
Carl was waiting patiently to see Christine for the first time on their wedding day.
Christine looked absolutely beautiful!
The center pieces full of sunflowers and hanging candles looked gorgeous in the Winter Garden.
All flowers and bouquets were created by Pedestals.
The place cards were sunflower lollipops sticking out from a moss base - it looked like a mini sunflower field. Very creative and edible!!
The newlyweds!
There were several emotional and funny toasts and speeches. Here Christine listening to her sister’s speech and it’s also a great image of her beautiful hair jewelry and hair.
Parent dances.
Then the party was on!!
DJ Gaza played an awesome selection of tunes all night and the dance floor was crowded until 1AM!
Look at Christine jumping!!
Christine and her dad dancing the twist.
It was one of those great receptions when not only the couple was dancing a lot but their parents and friends as well.
Congratulations to Christine and Carl who after a honeymoon to Alaska, will return to Stockholm to settle into their married life!
