Anna and Stephen, Botanical Gardens

It’s such an honor to have this job, meet so many great people and witness so many great weddings. It’s extra sweet when the client happens to be one of my relatives. When the opportunity arose for me to document my cousin, Stephen’s wedding, I was beyond excited. Not only is he blood, but he happens to be one of the most amazing humans I’ve ever met. And he more than met his match in Anna - an equally kind and humble person who has an incredible warmth about her. The ceremony took place at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, a grand old church in the upper West Side of NYC, and the reception was at the Botanical Gardens, which is stunning. It seems like every time I’m at the Botanical Gardens, I’m there for a cousin’s wedding. Last time around it was for my cousin Jennifer. Going back for another family wedding just felt right.
