Sheila and Roy had planned their wedding as a Grand event (with a capital ‘G’). From beginning of the day to its end, it turned out exactly as planned.
When we arrived at her apartment, Sheila was excited to see us and introduced us to everyone there. Being the cool and collected person that she is, everything was well under control as she and her sisters got prepared. Her hair stylist (Christopher Morris 551.655.5285) and makeup artist (Natalie DiStefano 856.952.5726) did a beautiful job. Sheila’s wedding gown was hand-finished, and her mother and father helped her fasten the final row of buttons on the back of her dress.
We arrived at the church only a few blocks down the road, where Roy was already waiting with his groomsmen. There were nice touches during the ceremony that included several of their family members, which made everything that much more heartfelt.
The reception was held in the Great Hall at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island, NY. What an incredible venue and space for a reception! The high vaulted ceilings curved overhead, and the floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows reminded us of what a great feast must have looked like here in the early 1920s. We couldn’t have been happier with the way the staff there worked with us, and we’d love to shoot there again in the future. (Thanks, Sheila and Roy, for the incredible meal!)
Sheila and Roy’s online gallery will be available soon. Keep checking the “Client Proofs” section of our main site over the next few days, and we’ll have lots more pictures for you to enjoy. In the meantime, there is another picture in the “Tell Others” section of our site, which you can attach to a message to your friends as you excitedly wait for the rest of their photos. As always, feel free to comment here on the blog with your thoughts about their wedding day.
