The anticipation of seeing your loved one on your wedding day is certainly a special one. Emily & Brad opted for a reveal/first-look in Brooklyn Bridge Park with their family & friends looking on. It was a special moment that we captured and giving them the space so they can really enjoy the moment.

They say, that despite missing out on seeing each other down the aisle for the first time they were more than pleased with the way things turned out and are convinced it was one of the smartest decisions they made on their wedding day.

All of the beautiful details of Emily & Brad’s wedding were well thought out and hand-picked or hand-crafted. They had a pretty distinct vision of their wedding and wanted to show their personalities in as many of the details as possible. The dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta, was a clear cut choice as it was clean and streamlined to lend to the straight line design of a lot of the elements of the wedding. Emily’s Tahari shoes were also a perfect compliment to the design with their lines and neutral dark grey in color. Brad went with a clean slate gray look with his suit from Jos. A. Bank. All of which were accented beautifully with rust colored accents in the tie and pocket fold. The bridesmaids wore slate grey Jenny Yoo dresses which also blended nicely with the bride & groom attire.

Emily & Brad quite possibly had some of the most personal details at a wedding. They themselves hand-crafted many vases and planters out of cement and copper piping. It was a project that the two of them worked on together. They said this process really brought them together as it was a shared idea and one they really loved doing. At the end of the night, each of their guests got to walk away with one of their very own handmade treasures. We were also luck enough to get one of each of them for our home.

Emily & Brad closed out the evening beautifully with a lovely first-dance. Maybe in this moment they talked about their day and how awesome it had been. There is always some chatter between a bride & groom during their first dance. They may have reflected on the moments getting ready in the morning with their families or about the pizza they would be eating back in their room at 2am. Either way, we know they had a fantastic day since most of what is written here are their exact words.

Since their wedding we have had the opportunity to become dear friends of theirs and we would not change a thing either. Emily & Brad have been a blessing to our lives and we are thankful they are a part of ours. They are a phenomenal couple and we look forward to the many years we will have together getting to know them and spending time with them both.
