N + P's Traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony | May 1, 2015

in , ,

There truly was not a moment that wasn't filled with smiles, hugs and laughter during this traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony that I photographed at The Garden City Hotel in Garden City, NY on May 1, 2015. The room was filled with vibrant colors, family (some of whom had flown in from Vietnam), friends, and ritual.Nabilia+Phong TC_B-40 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-39 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-38 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-37 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-36 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-35 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-34 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-33 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-32 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-31 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-30 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-29 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-28 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-27 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-26 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-25 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-24 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-23 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-22 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-21 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-20 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-19 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-18 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-17 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-16 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-15 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-14 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-13 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-12 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-11 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-10 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-9 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-8 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-7 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-6 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-5 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-4 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-3 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-2 Nabilia+Phong TC_B-1

Normi + Michael's Brooklyn Wedding | December 27, 2013

in , ,
A quick flashback to a very cold, but even more happy December 27, 2013. Normi and Michael got married at the courthouse in Brooklyn, NY. The couple and family hung out, talked and laughed while waiting to see the officiant. Once in it felt like a huge ceremony with everyone clapping and continuing to laugh and have so much fun. We then adventured to Brooklyn Bridge park for a windy and chilly photo session. Despite the cold, you couldn't have asked for a better day.

Rebecca + Sean | December 12, 2012

in , ,
Decided to start delving into the archives. Two years ago I drove up to CT to photograph a beautiful winter wedding, although you'd never be able to tell. They got married at The Connecticut River Valley Inn. Rebecca and Sean are the epitome of "meant to be." And just recently they welcomed a new baby and brother to Dustin, to the family.

Jackie + Andrew Engagement | Brooklyn, NY

Jackie and Andrew took a stroll around their neighborhood in Brooklyn on an early fall day in October. They even found a new coffee shop. We then went back to their apartment where I got to see their amazing view and me the worlds most insane and awesome pug.

Julianna + Brian | December 13, 2014

I had the pleasure of photographing Julianna and Brian's Engagement session months prior to their wedding. They are the funniest, easiest people to be around. Their love is evident in the joy and laughter they bring to themselves and everyone else around them. Their wedding was a winter wedding on December 13, 2014 in Hamden, CT at the Cascade. Although it was freezing outside everyone was warm and having a blast inside!

Stephanie + Allen | November 7, 2014

Stephanie and Allen's fall wedding was wet, but nothing could dampen the fun and joy that was felt by everyone involved. The St. Mary's Parish ceremony in Ridgefield, Ct. was warm and full of love.  The ceremony was followed by a party at The Candlewood Lake inn in Brookfield, Ct. Set against the lake, you couldn't ask for a better view at setting.

Jesse and Justin got married in Portsmouth, Va this past summer. Justin's mom spent months scouring estate sales, garage sales, and antique stores finding the perfect accents for their cozy, loving backyard wedding.
