To sum up this wedding in one word: Happy. Anna was the happiest bride I have ever had the chance to meet and photograph. The friends and family that filled the Astor Hotel were also the happiest people I have ever seen. It was a splendid happy day, from start to finish.
Here are some of my favorite photographs from the day:

As I work on new weddings and new work, it is always nice to go back a little and peek at the weddings last year that didn’t make it on to the blog for one reason or another. As I packed up and shipped their album the other day, looking at their images again, I just had to get them up on the blog. Sarah and Tyler are awesome, and even on this hot day, they rocked the house!

Meaning of “Sara” – Princess. In the Bible, Sara was the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. Her name was originally Sarai (quarrelsome), but God commanded that her name be changed to Sara before the birth of her son
Meaning of “Chris” – Diminutive of Christian: Follower of Christ.
Together a Christian Princess… sounds pretty good to me. In the short time I have known Sara and Chris it seems to fit. Their smiles and laughter are more than warm, they are as genuine as it gets… and they didn’t let up for a second during our engagement session with them. I can not wait to photograph their wedding in just a few months.
Here are my favorites from both Simon and I:
