I love this moment happening with the flower girl and Allison …..

I love how Allison’s  maid of honor helps her with everything … and so does the flower girl

He’s a country boy… She’s a city girl

He’s tall … really tall … She’s … well … umm … smaller than him

He’s goofy … She’s silly

He got down on one knee in Grand Central Station … She said YES!

IN LOVE

Jen and Thom … When I meet the two of them all jen kept saying was “He’s a country boy and I’m a city girl!” So it was a no brainer that once I heard about their NYC engagement we had to go! They really had this idea of a vintage theme since they got engaged at Grand Central Station … So what’s a photographer to do but get creative and enjoy it!

When I got off the train in NYC and meet up with Jen & Thom they were excited and ready to go! They even packed their clothes for later on in these vintage suitcases!!!!

This photo is one of my favorites … it really shows the hustle and bussel of Grand Central Station!

After a quick change off to Central Park! Central Park is so HUGE!!! We had so much fun just roaming around!

Jen and Thom I cannot wait for your wedding in August!

It will be a blast with the two of you!

“Freshman year at NJIT, Bartosz lived on the same floor as my friend. One day when I brought cookies over to her, I saw Bartosz walk by and as usual, my eyes lit up. My friend, having grown tired of this secret crush, carried me to Bartosz’s room, leaving me and the cookies to fend for themselves. Embarrassed and not knowing what to say, I asked, Would you like a cookie? He took one, thanking me as I ran away. Fours years later, after only saying hello in passing, I had a class with Bartosz … and the rest is history.” – Krystle

MARRIED!!!

We started our day out in the wee hours of the morning with Krystle and her girls. The day was gloomy and wet but Krystle had such an upbeat outlook …. I felt nothing could bring her down. There was to be an outside wedding and rain to be clearing ….No worries … she said!

Krystle is such a sweet person .. she always has such a smile on her face and always wanting to help with everything… just like her dress … I walk in and she was like .. Nikki what do you think about the dress up there for a shot? .. LOVE IT that she is already thinking….

Her sister was so excited for this day … she help Krystle with so much … from making their bouquets to getting dressed..

The house Krystle grew up in her father designed … they had this AMAZING glass mural on the wall of NYC with the twin towers in it … of course I see it and … well I had to shot Krystle with it! And that SMILE!!!

Ceremony Time: The guys all lined up and Bartosz so proud and anxious to see his bride.

Okay … so you see the duck … well as the vows are being said wouldn’t you know this guy and his friends came up right to the ceremony site … I was like really … but they never interrupted ..

Some Krystle & Bartosz time …

Some reception details…

Now along with the amazing band Krystle and Bartosz had they hired a fiddler!!!! Yeah … that’s right a fiddler!It was AMAZING!!!! Just look at all the fun everyone had!
