I had been looking forward to Miriam and Chanan’s Liberty Warehouse wedding for MONTHS. The checklist of awesome wedding details was almost too much to handle. Her cinematographer was my friend Dave Williams and his extraordinary team with Cinemacake, a killer wedding cinematography company based in Philadelphia. Her band was Carnivale, the same band that played at my own wedding. Her venue was the incomparable Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. Her dress was a Pnina Tornai. Must I go on? Mim and Chanan are so kind, so lovely, so unbearably sweet that it was a great treat to spend their day with them. They are gorgeous inside and out, and it was an honor to document their wedding.
The groom’s family owns a lavendar farm, and lavendar was incorporated into the decor of the wedding day. I chose to include the lavendar in this image of the bride’s engagement ring to add a personal touch to the image.I love this image of Lindsey Jones Makeup hard at work on the bride’s absolutely stunning face!The bride wore a delicate lace Pnina Tornai wedding gown from Kleinfelds, right here in New York.The bride chose a gorgeous pair of gold Manolo Blahnik shoes to go with her Pnina Tornai gown.Miriam was a beautiful bride, inside and out.
