| Oxford Exchange Wedding |

Courtney and Larry, who live in the wonderful Brooklyn, New York decided to celebrate their marriage with family and friends at the one and only Oxford Exchange. (See their New York Engagement Session HERE) I can’t get enough of this place…it’s one of my favorite venues because of it’s timeless ambiance and gorgeous decor!! Working with these sweeties was so much fun! They were so laid back regardless of the major tropical storm we were supposed to have that day. Well…guess what?! Although it rained part of the day… it passed JUST in time for us to head outside for some of the loveliest natural light portraits ever…. Hallerluyers! …I hear Larry’s mom had to put some magical powers in the works for that to happen- thanks mom!! 😉

Courtney’s bridesmaids looked beautiful in their pink gowns with white and blush bouquets. Everyone had gorgeous updos including her precious flower girls. The bride was absolutely breathtaking in her white lace wedding gown…and did you see her amazing eyes?!!! I love love loved her hair. She was a stunner! And her bouquet was the perfect piece to wrap it all together. Her florist, Flora, did such a wonderful job!! Not only on the bouquets but the centerpieces were one-of-a-kind divine.

As the ceremony commenced, Courtney walked down the aisle to her handsome groom. He lifted her veil and when the two met eyes, I could literally see the love gushing between the two. Such a lovely, lovely traditional jewish ceremony (a first for me!) I loved all the meaningful traditions Larry and Courtney incorporated in their celebration. Huge props to Sara Fairbairn from One Fine Day for making everything run so smoothly as always!

And alas, the reception. Filled with lots of dancing, yummy food catered by the Oxford Exchange and amazing dessert from Hands on Sweets. The entire party had a blast! With heartfelt speeches (the best man/groom’s brother crushed his “rap style” speech- he had everyone in stitches), the breaking of the bread, and the famous horah chair dancing, my heart swooned for these two love birds.

Courtney and Larry, I hope you both had the time of your life and continue to grow in love with one another. Your wedding day was absolutely perfect and I am so incredibly grateful to have been a part of it. Congratulations!
