Ariel & Matthew

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
- Marcus Aurelius

Ariel & Matthew’s tale begins at Columbia University.

The duo began dating shortly after meeting at Columbia. Ariel & Matthew knew it was the real deal when they continuously made excuses to take classes together and spend every day with each other. They had the most fun in the one another’s company.

College came and went and their love flourished over time. It was while vacationing in San Francisco that Ariel’s fate would change forever. They were sitting by the Ferry Building looking out onto the bay when Matthew asked her to be his. Ariel recalls, “It was a very sweet moment for us.”

Ariel & Matthew were wed on May 13, 2012 at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye Brooke, NY. She floated down the aisle in a Reem Acra dress and Kate Spade shoes. Matthew was dashing in a Hugo Boss tux and Ferragamo shoes. Atlas Flowers adorned the room while Neshoma Orchestra rocked the dance floor!

Thank you Ariel & Matthew for sharing your special day with us!

Rachel & Neil

Ok so this a great story for all of you non-believers… Blind dates can actually be successful… And for Rachel & Neil, thankfully, this blind date would be there last first date.

Rachel, a recent transplant to Miami, received a call from a family friend looking to set her up with a great guy in the area. Encouraged by his brother, Neil, who usually cringed at the idea of a set up, called Rachel. The couple met a few weeks later at at Rosa Mexicano. It would be the first of many magical dates. Rachel even recalls Neil asking her on a 2nd date while still on their first. And to think he almost didn’t go…

They both knew they found the one because they had never felt that kind of love before. It was easy and natural and the best part was they could be themselves with one another.

For their one year anniversary Neil planned a wonderful activity packed day beginning with rides on jet skis on Biscayne Bay, South Beach followed by lunch overlooking the water then to the Fountainbleau Hotel. After hitting the gym and having a dip in the pool they both had relaxing massages. They headed home to shower before returning back to South Beach for dinner. A perfect day so far! Little did Rachel now that is would become one of the most memorable days of her life! While out, Neil’s brother and his wife decorated the apartment with roses, champagne, chocolates and a “Will You Marry Me?” teddy bear. When they arrived home she joined Neil moments later in the bedroom only to find him down on one knee with a ring held out and he asked her to be his. Rachel recalls her first words after the proposal being, “Is this a joke?” followed by a yes of course! They celebrated with family and friends that evening and brunch the next day.

Rachel & Neil were married on May 5th 2012 at the Mandarin Oriental in NYC. Golf Smitherong of Tatawan Bloom decorated the room to perfection but the main attraction was really the Monique Lhuillier dress Rachel rocked! We were joined in capturing their day by our friends Moho Creative and serenaded by the sweet sounds of Erik Marshal from Hank Lane.

We would like to take this time to thank you both and wish a lifetime of happiness!

Corrie & Matthew

Corrie & Matthew were first introduced through Corrie’s sister and Matthew’s roommate, Joby whom were dating at the time. One evening Corrie joined her sister to meet up with Joby and Matthew. They hit it off immediately. Corrie’s sister & Joby eventually went their separate ways but will be eternally appreciated for their part in bringing Corrie & Matthew together.

The duo enjoyed spending all of their time with one another so much so they bought a condo in Downtown Brooklyn together. Though marriage was on the table, a permanent residence was priority!

There was no suspicion of a proposal as they were still getting settled as roomies!! It was after 8 months to be exact, when the deed was done and done quite well I might add. Corrie recalls, “I was sent on a bit of an odd scavenger hunt in midtown Manhattan which led me to the Top of the Rock. “ It was there that he proposed.

They were married on April 28th at the Thatched Cottage in Centerport. The room was decorated by, none other than, Flowers by Brian. Corrie cascaded down the aisle wearing a Winnie Couture gown and the groom wearing a custom designed suit from Alan David Custom. They danced the night away to the sounds of Parties Alive.

Thank you Corrie & Matthew!

Lauren & Rony

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

– Roy Croft

Lauren & Rony’s tale begins at the University of Michigan where the two attended college. A party brought them into each other’s lives and that was all it took. In no time they went from strangers to partners.

The duo felt that laughter was a key ingredient to their relationship allowing them to really “just be themselves”. They both admit at times it was tough, but they always pulled together to overcome any challenge their relationship would bring. And as we all know love is always worth fighting for, and as result their love deepened.

After graduating Lauren & Rony moved to NYC together but made a point to visit Michigan as it was after all where it all began. With Rony being a huge Michigan fan, it was only natural for the two to head out to one of the most important games, Michigan vs. Notre Dame. Michigan won but that wouldn’t be the only victory for the day. After the game was over Rony took Lauren to the Michigan Diag, (a beautiful park in the middle of campus) and popped the question. Of course Lauren said yes and it was an overall triumph for the day!

Lauren & Rony were married on May 5th at the beautiful Oheka Castle in Long Island. It was truly magnificent! Thank you Lauren & Rony for allowing us to capture your special day!
