Happy Anniversary: Joe & Rick

Happy Anniversary: Joe & Rick

Sometimes we go back with our clients. Sometimes way back. Even back to the 90s! Such was the case with Joe, with whom Anne worked back when we were both serving in the corporate world. We were incredibly honored when they asked us to capture the day they finally got to say I Do. We absolutely loved spending time with them and their families and documenting their wedding day with them in New York, especially after they had been together for so many years. It’s always great chatting with them, and as their anniversary approached, we asked them to consider some of their favorite images and what they thought about their first year of marriage.

Bill held his surprise kiss just a little bit longer than Anne!

We, along with our friends and family still talk about our special day. It couldn’t have been more perfect. The photos capture every bit of the beauty, joy and happiness everyone experienced. We waited 16 years to be able to get married and the fact that it was finally legal made for even a greater celebration!

J&R, we wish you the first of very many happy anniversaries to follow and we look forward to seeing you both again soon!

xoxo,

Some fun details:

Dear j&r,

Some of our favorite moments from your wedding include:

The huge range of emotions on your faces and loving glances to one another as you waited (patiently?) to walk down the aisle together to marry each other. The story told about your first Christmas together with the rings you gave each other 16 years ago and how they felt perfect as your wedding rings today. The surprise garter (nice touch with the teeth!) and bouquet toss, a huge hit among your guests and especially those who caught them. When getting ready, the casual attentiveness you had toward the other, tying ties and making sure the other looked just right. The cheers of congratulations among your loved ones as they watched you turn around at the altar with beaming smiles on your faces. Even the rain later that evening couldn’t dampen anyones spirits.

We love you guys and were so happy to have been a part of your wedding!

xoxo…
