Steve and Sabrina's Wedding (Queens, NY)

Steve and Sabrina combined their family traditions and cultures into one weekend full of celebration. The ceremony was a traditional Hindu marriage ceremony which was held on Friday at the first venue, Golden Terrace in Richmond Hill, Queens. Sabrina and Steve looked amazing in their traditional clothing and the rituals and celebration were beautiful and a completely new experience for me (they were very helpful with giving me documents and instruction ahead of time so that I knew what to expect). On Saturday, I joined the couple and their family and friends again for a reception at the Queens Museum. Here, Sabrina and Steve did a first look along with dances, speeches and other “traditional” American wedding reception things. Congratulations, Sabrina and Steve!

Ceremony Venue: Golden Terrace

Steve and Sabrina's Engagement Session (Astoria, NY)

Astoria, Queens is one of my favorite spots in NYC. It’s where many of the best people I know in NYC live and it’s always a great area to wander and take photos when in Queens. Astoria Park is especially photogenic with its beautiful water views, street art, and giant arches. When Steve and Sabrina said they wanted to meet there for their engagement photos in October, I was thrilled. We had a great time venturing through the park and soaking up all of that golden hour light. Looking forward to photographing their wedding next year!
