We were thrilled to start the day by being part of Brandon’s surprise for his bride. He arranged for us to begin coverage early at the hotel for the unveiling of a special gift he’d gotten for her. It set the tone for all the other surprises that would follow, including the blizzard that blanketed New York. The snow didn’t prevent Jill from having a perfect outdoor private Reveal for Brandon. The couple were then surprised and delighted as they saw all their favorite guests pouring in throughout the entire evening, many having braved the storm for several hours to join them in their celebration. The day started out with a few question marks, but ended in a spectacular evening of joyful fun and dancing. I could never have imagined myself saying these words, but it’s true for Jill + Brandon: A blizzard is the PERFECT DAY for a wedding! We just love these two and are so glad to have been a part of such an unrepeatable day.

Ulysses - Thank you, thank you to both Rachel AND Merry! Your comments are so appreciated. Everyone put in such a great effort to make this day as ideal as possible. One of the groomsmen said that the snow turned out to be “a gift”, and I think this expresses it perfectly! It was great seeing you, even if only briefly. I have no doubt our happy paths will cross again. 🙂November 7, 2011 – 8:48 AM

Merry McLoryd - Hi I’m the other half of the Fleur-Di-Re Floral Design team – I’m so glad to see that the party was a success! We saw Jill (she looked FAB) her mom and bridal party but had to leave (2 hour ride instead of the normal 15min) and I could only hope everyone would make it! The pictures look great – so romantic with the snowy backdrop! Look forward to seeing more and officially meeting you one day! – MerryNovember 5, 2011 – 9:01 PM
