Erin, you look absolutely stunning!

Beautiful flowers by Kehoe Designs

Erin writing out her vows…

A sweet card from her husband to be, Joseph!

Handsome Joseph!

Mikai enjoying the fall leaves.

Their first look.

Joseph had given Erin a beautiful delicate lavender flower during their first look.

After photographing them around the city, we headed to the Adler Planetarium for their late afternoon ceremony.  They were blessed with perfect weather!

Aren’t they just AHH-DORABLE?!?!

“The bride is coming!  The bride is coming!”  Noah was very excited about his role in the wedding and he did a fantastic job doing it!

The reception set up was PERFECT!!

Joseph is a chef so he wanted everything perfect with the food and catering.  Food for thought did such an excellent job!

Thank you for sharing your day with us Erin & Joseph!  We wish you guys the best!!

Zelig’s gift for Marissa was Jimmy Choo shoes!

Along with a custom monogrammed cuff links, Marissa also gave Zelig an iPad with a special message for him!

Custom wall Gobo provided by their DJ:  Magsino Mobile Entertainment

What do grooms normally do before a wedding?  Some hang out with family and friends, some go to the bar, and some just relax… Zelig, on the other hand, was looking for a “sign”… a “sign” from God to let him know that getting married to Marissa was the right choice… so what did he do?!?  Less than 24 hours before he said “I do,” he went SKY DIVING!  His reasoning was that if he lived through the sky diving experience, that it was meant to be.  Oh and one small detail, he didn’t tell Marissa… She found out at their wedding reception with a video of Zelig jumping out of the plane in front of all their guests on the big screen.  This was a first for us!  And  her reaction to the video was priceless!

Thank you for sharing your day with us Marissa & Zelig!  We wish you guys the best!!
