We love Club 19 at the St. Regis! It was so wonderful to be able to photograph the wedding at this lovely location. The Gazebo is beautiful and Club 19 has an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. We had great weather, a great team to work with and of course, Keri and Rafik are such a great couple, it made our day all the more rewarding. Kimberly Bradford put a great team together which included Square Root floral design, DJ Mark Hicks, Curtis and Laura of Living Cinema and the talented Layla. Keri and Rafik incorporated an Irish tradition during the ceremony and during the reception Layla honored Rafik’s Egyptian heritage by dancing to traditional Egyptian music once the party got underway. Layla was the hit of the party and even got Keri and Rafik to join her on the dance floor. Here are some of our favorites from this beautiful day…

Melissa and Andrew

Melissa and Andrew fell in love with Southern California when coming out to visit friends a while back. So when it came time to choose their perfect location, they picked a spot that just took their breath away…the Ritz Carlton of Laguna Niguel. Their family and close friends flew in from Louisana for a weekend filled with fun, spectacular views and gentle pacific ocean breezes. We were honored to be chosen to photograph their wedding and Christine of Kimberly Bradford Events did an excellent job in making sure everything was just perfect. Everyone on the team did a fabulous job…Nisie of Enchanted Florist created gorgeous arrangements of creme and dusty pink. They also provided the beautiful linens. The Naples Chamber ensemble serenaded the guests during the ceremony and cocktails and DJ Mark Hicks created high energy dance vibes with his cool tunes. Curtis from Living Cinema captured every emotion-filled moment in his unobtrusive style.

Maggie and Steve

Maggie’s parents told her that if she went to America, she’d never go back to her native China. That prediction came true when she met Steve at her first Super Bowl party in the Big Apple. Their international wedding at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA was unforgettable.

We first met Steve when we flew to NYC to photography their engagement session. We went everywhere! Central Park, 5th Avenue, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station, Meat Packing District… Steve is a California native and Maggie has lives in the US for only a few years, but they are both real New Yorkers now. Although worlds apart, they make the perfect match!

Kimberly Bradford Event Planning and Design did a fabulous job, (as always), coordinating every detail of Maggie and Steve’s wedding. The fine catering was provided by Craig’s on the Table. The beautiful flowers were by Enchanted Florist. Maggie looked stunning. Her hair and makeup were done by Hair Comes the Bride. Ceremony and cocktail reception music was provided by the Naples Chamber Ensemble String Trio and DJ Mark Hicks got everyone on the dance floor. Steve Luxenberg of Weddings by SML shot the wedding video. It was an honor to be a part of Maggie and Steve’s day. For more photos, set to their first dance song, check our the slideshow.
