I love assisting other photographers on wedding days because I get to shoot in so many amazing locations and explore NYC. This past spring I assisted Jainé from Brklyn View Photography at a gorgeous Brooklyn Botanical Garden wedding.

The bride got ready at the W Hotel in New York City with beautiful views of the tall financial district buildings.

I want one of these robes for myself!

Every girl should have Chanel perfume.

Such a fun moment when the bride puts on her dress and all of her girls are around to help.

The perfect spot for a first look.

I’m in love with this bouquet.

I love when the wind picks up just enough to lift a cathedral length veil.

There are so many beautiful areas in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for romantic portraits.

I also love assisting because I have the time to shoot from different angles and be creative.

So the bridesmaids dresses are all the same silhouette, but the straps can be clipped on in a bunch of combinations so fit any body type.

Doesn’t she look like a Disney princess?

I’ve shot a good amount of weddings, but this was my first time shooting a Ketubah signing.

How beautifully dramatic is that entrance?

Happy tears!

Officially husband and wife!

The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens has the most amazing rose garden that we shot the bride + groom’s portraits in after the ceremony.

That detail on the veil!

So happy to be married!

One of my favorites!

A little baby bunny stopped to say hello!

I love ceremony details. Each guest’s place card was a little lantern with a candle so that when they were placed on the correct table they would help serve as the centerpiece and light up the table. Such a good idea!

A little behind the scenes of Jainé doing her thing! She shoots with both film and digital cameras and is really great at paying attention to all the little details. I really love assisting her and learning from her. Her images are so soft and beautiful! Check out her work at brklynview.com.
