Jessica and Andrew featured in the New York Times Wedding Section

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Jessica and Andrew’s story and engagement picture was chosen for one of the coveted New York Times wedding/celebration announcements. In fact the New York Times loved their story and photo so much, they even made a video of them. When I first met Jessica and Andrew, she told me it was her dream to be featured in the New York Times wedding section. I am so glad I was able to help make that happen. They published their story on their wedding date: February 27, 2011.

Here is the photo they used from their engagement session:

Here is a screen grab and link to read the rest of the article in the New York Times:

Here is a link to the video- I loved how they spent time with them and shared the story of how they met, follow-up dates and how he proposed.

New York Wedding photographer Sofia Negron and Lindsay Landman Events: Cindy and Brent part 2

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

Here is Part 2 of Cindy and Brent’s wedding. You can view part 1 here. As I mentioned, Cindy and Brent had a beautiful ceremony on the stage of the Scranton Cultural Center. Behind the stage is a gorgeous 2 tiered ballroom where guests enjoyed cocktails and the reception. The Scranton Cultural Center did all the lighting under Lindsay’s art direction. When planning the reception, Lindsay Landman Events was given a lot of freedom with her design. You have to love clients who trust their wedding partners. This wedding was truly a collaboration and lots of trust was given to all of us to do what we do best. Thank you to Cindy, Brent and their families for trusting all of us.

Cindy asked Lindsay to incorporate color and make the venue warm on a cold winter’s night. Cindy’s mom asked for the “WOW” factor . They both wanted formal elegance with a contemporary feel. This is exactly what Lindsay does best. Lindsay incorporated tall centerpieces to give the wow and compliment the tall ceilings. She used plexiglass with mixed floral arrangements to add a contemporary look and reflect the candlelight. Hundreds of candles were used to give the warm, glowy feel Cindy was after. Lindsay also added arched branches, dotted with hand wired crystals, on the tall centerpieces for some drama and to achieve the additional height that Cindy’s mom was looking for. Each place setting had gold rimmed plates with a circle menu crafted by Invitations by Ana. Ana also did the table numbers, elegantly framed in gold frames.

Lindsay designed the escort card table with mirrors, candles and flowering branches. Deep purple escort cards were made by Michael Weinstein of MJW Calligraphy. As people entered, they were greeted by a frame of glowing candles followed by a table full of candles and a custom designed guestbook with photos from Cindy and Brent’s Get to Know You session. Lindsay custom designed the couples monogram that was projected on the dance floor and placed on the napkins and favors. Lots of yummy food was provided by The Epicurean Delight. The flowers on the cake were exquisitely made by Sugar Flower Cake Shop . Guests danced all night to the Russ Bennett Orchestra of Hank Lane Music. At the end of the night, macarons made by the Macaron Café in NYC in LLE specially designed packages.

New York Wedding photographer Sofia Negron and Lindsay Landman Events: Cindy and Brent part 1

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

My first wedding of the season was a gorgeous event. How could it not be? Cindy and Brent were a dream to work with. Their family and friends were super excited for them and the day was filled with love, laughs, good food and good entertainment. Lindsay Landman Events did all the beautiful event design from invitations to linens to flowers to dessert table. She used a gorgeous purple palette, short and tall centerpieces, round and rectangular tables and candles to bring the Scranton Cultural Center to life. The Scranton Cultural Center is where all the broadway touring companies go when they visit the Scranton area. The center used to be a masonic temple and has some really gorgeous architecture.

Jackie from Merci New York did the bridal and mother of the bride styling. Cindy looked gorgeous with a beautiful Vera Wang gown, Kate Spade shoes, hair accessories from Untamed Petals and the wedding band of her great great grandmother. The bible she carried in her bouquet has been passed down from several generations.

The ketubah signing was an intimate ceremony between close family and friends and held in the beautiful old library. The wedding ceremony was held under a custom chuppah with hanging candles on the stage with the guests seated as audience members. Cindy was super excited to be on the stage, since she is such a performer at heart.

Special thank you to Christopher Duggan for being my second photographer.

New York Engagement session: Get to Know You session on Houston Street New York

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Cindy and Brent love movies. They especially love sneaking sandwiches into the movie theater. She says she feels like a rebel bringing in contraband.

Cindy is a “closet” cabaret singer, she did do one show but she has an amazing voice and just never pursued it as a career. Do we have another Susan Boyle on our hands? Cindy is a natural performer, completely at ease in front of the camera. She has lots of energy but also very easy going. Really just a dream to work with.

Brent is more quiet, witty and reserved. I did not get to meet him until our Get to Know You (engagement) session and he was such a great sport. He was willing to do anything Cindy or I asked him to, even if he didn’t “get it”. What a good sport! By the end, he was much more relaxed and on the wedding day he just had fun with it. Of course, it helped that Cindy looked amazing on the wedding day.

Since they love movies we headed down to the Sunshine Cinema. It used to be the Houston Hippodrome and a vaudeville theater. The facade and marquee were restored to it’s original artistic roots. I drove past it one day last summer and knew I had to use it for a session. So glad it was theres. We then ventured up to the meatpacking district for some pretty light.

I love this image because of the guy walking by checking them out. I shot probably 10 of these images with people walking by and no one even bothered to look up. Everyone just kept going- typical New York! =) The other funny thing is when I was looking closely at the movies popping up in the background or the movies playing at the cinema, they are some of the most ironic things in the image. I mean who wants the shining in their engagement photos? HAH!

Hey, caught another guy checking them out!
