Alissa + Tom's Wall Street Wedding | New York Wedding Photographer

This weekend I got to photograph Alissa and Tom's wedding at the rooftop of The Setai Club on Wall Street. They're such a sweet couple; they've been together for 12 years and have lived on three continents. I loved every minute of their wedding, and it was so clear how much they love each other and how happy they are to finally be married. I'm not going to lie - I cried a little behind my camera.

Alissa shares a quiet moment with Tom's daughter.

It was the hottest day of the year (103 degrees), so we had to make it snappy with the formals. We were really lucky that there were so many great spots right across the street.

Then we went inside to cool off and got some shots of the Setai's dramatic lobby.

Then we dragged the whole family out into the street, which was closed to cars because we were next door to the New York Stock Exchange. Beautiful!

Signing the marriage license

The ceremony was sweet and intimate

After the ceremony, I pulled Alissa away for a few bridal portraits. Isn't she GORGEOUS??

And of course, I have to include some detail shots of their delicious FOOD!

I loved seeing Alissa and Tom with their guests. Everyone there knew the couple so well, and it really showed. They were just glowing all night.

And I love cake cutting pictures

Alissa and Tom, congratulations on your wedding. It was easy to tell how much you love each other and how happy you are. I hope you're enjoying your honeymoon!

New York Marriage Equality 2011 - Historic NYC Pride March

Last week, New York became the largest state to legalize gay marriage. Two days later, over a million people gathered in Manhattan to celebrate this victory for marriage equality at the city's Pride March. I've been to this event in past years, but nothing came close to the euphoric mood at Sunday's march. The crowds greeted Governor Andrew Cuomo - accompanied by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn - with deafening cheers. Spectators held up thousands of printed signs reading "Thank You Governor Cuomo" and "Promise Kept," and some reading "Homos for Cuomo in 2016." Spontaneous proposals took place along the parade route, and many couples held up signs proclaiming their intention to marry in July. Some of the loudest cheers greeted Governor Cuomo as the parade passed in front of the Stonewall Inn - the site of the deadly riot that started the gay rights movement more than 40 years ago. The March was a beautiful celebration of a great moment in this country's civil rights history, and I'm proud to have been a part of it.
