Yvette and Eric's Wedding (Long Island, New York) SEE MAIN WEBSITE

I've been desiring to post this wedding for a while but it has been so difficult to narrow down the 11 hours of coverage of such an AWESOME wedding!!! My trademark has always been outdoors or tropical themed weddings so I was excited to try a different approach, that of a church and castle themed wedding. Every detail of the wedding was phenomenal, but even more-so was the raw emotions of love, joy, and passion that was often shown in tears and smiles. Yvette and Eric had gone through numerous photographers in person and online but amidst them all, they found me online and chose to hire me to fly to New York for their wedding. The ceremony was held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bronx, NY and the reception was held at Sand Castle Caterers (www.sandcastlecaterers.com). The church was so cute, quaint, and intimate which matched perfectly with the mood of the wedding. Sand Castle Caterers undoubtedly gets an A+++ due to the beauty of the location but even more for the EXCELLENT customer service that they provided! We were assigned 5 attendants that did a wonderful job of treating us (including me :-)) like royalty for the day. We didn't have to ask them for anything as they instinctively knew what we wanted and moved a huge floral arrangement for some shots and even gladly helped Yvette up to lay on the piano! Yvette and Eric, I enjoyed every moment of your special day and I am very happy for the both of you as I know that you really love each other. Thanks again for choosing Shelly Edwards Photography and do have a wonderful marriage!
