Lauren & Jeff | Water’s Edge Wedding

Lauren and Jeff were married at Water’s Edge in Long Island City. The Groom dressed the Ravel Hotel, while the bride preparation was at Lauren’s family’s house in New Hyde Park, close to the Notre Dame Church, where they exchanged vows.

Lauren approached her wedding with the aim of realizing the storybook romance that every girl has been imagining since childhood. I had sensed this during their engagement session, when they related how Jeff proposed- on the banks of the Seine immersed in all the romantic splendor of Paris. As a further example, in the fall months, I am often encouraging my couples to meet before the ceremony, professing that I need as much time as possible for portraits before the afternoon light fades. Charmingly, Lauren would have none of that! As she wrote me “I really want the first moment we see eachother to be when we are walking down the aisle – I’ve always dreamt of that moment”. Certainly, it is a worthy tradition to uphold, and for a documentary photographer, there is inescapable anticipation and suspense etched into the faces leading up to the Ceremony. It is, after all, a girl’s dream about to be fulfilled.
