Matt and Mel's Wedding in New York!

Well our next wedding was very exciting and the furthest we have been so far on a job (It doesn't seem fair to refer to it as a job though when we had so much fun and were welcomed into the party!).

We had the pleasure of travelling with Matt and Mel and their friends and family to photograph their New York Wedding. Words can barely describe how kind and friendly everyone was to us welcoming us into their small party with warmth and happiness. Consequently, we have captured some fantastic images which I hope they will treasure forever. We started our day at the Radisson Lexington before going on for the ceremony at The Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, a quick photo stop at Grand Central Station and then on to their reception at The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Being such a different wedding for us (and because I love their photos so much) I thought I'd include more photos than usual on the blog so you can get a real feel for their day

Matt and Mel adore New York so it felt only right to start with the flag outside the hotel


Their room had the most amazing balcony to take photos on - here's Mel before the getting ready really began followed by some presents being handed out and bubbles to play with in the sunshine







Mel's mum had bought her some new charms to add to her charm bracelet but they went on the bouquet for the day first


What an amazing pair of Chanel shoes Mel had - if they'd have fitted me I may well have been asking to try them on!


Matt gave Mel a card which said some lovely things in it and a diamond necklace as a present for their day


















I love the colour of the bridesmaids dresses which matched their yellow and black theme perfectly.  They also looked great against the bright blue sky












Whilst I was with the girls, David started with the Matt and his bestman (Gary) getting ready


















Here's Matt and Gary meeting Alison (the lady who conducted their ceremony) to go over the paperwork in the Pavilion





I love the next lot, not only of the ceremony but of Mel arriving as well

























After the ceremony the guests blew some bubbles (as you weren't allowed confetti) and then we took a few group shots before spending a glorious hour with Matt and Mel to photograph them whilst the guests went on to the reception









We started in the park with some photos there first




















Then on to .... can you guess?











And finally on to Times Square and The Hard Rock Cafe






They had customised M&M's (which seems even more appropriate as that's their initials) for the guests and everyone took home a Hard Rock Cafe goodie bag at the end of the night



We were allowed up on the Hard Rock Balcony overlooking Times Square to take some photos which was marvelous




















Then we went down on the street for a few more photos








Then back for speeches










And then a first dance before we joined in and danced the night away with the guests











At the end of a really long day Matt and Mel caught a cab back to the hotel whilst we walked with the guests.  When we got back there was just a little bit of time left to get some photos of them on their balcony to end our day with them











If you attended Matt and Mel's Wedding and would like to view their photos or if you couldn't attend but would still like to have a peep they are online now and they have the password which I'm sure they'll share with you.

Thank you Matt and Mel for letting us share in your special day with you and for letting us know you love the images as much as we do. We have memories of your day that we will cherish forever and are very grateful that you chose us to share in it all with you. You are a gorgeous couple and were a pleasure to work with. Your friends and family who we met clearly adore you both and your closeness with them shines through in the images. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together and hope that our paths will all cross again in the future.

Big thanks also to Emma and Gary for recommending us (can't believe it's coming up to your two year wedding anniversary!). It was lovely to see you both again looking so well and we will take you up on the offer of taking us to see the seals in November!
