I have always felt that the chillier months are inherently more romantic. Perhaps it is because the cold fosters a desire to “cuddle up”, or maybe it is because crackling fires always feel so intimate, or that taking a walk in the snow is such fun when done with the one you love. I’m not quite sure. Yet despite all my convictions, weddings are far more infrequent in the winter, which is why I relish them greatly when one comes along-
Documenting Vanessa and Erik’s January wedding was particularly enjoyable for a number of reasons. Vanessa and Erik are so very complimentary together. I loved observing all the subtle ways that they balance and edify one another. Their relationships with their respective families were very close-knit and unique. The bride’s sister is Rachel LoVerme Rosenfeldt, who is an admired acquaintance and colleague in the wedding industry. It was wonderful to be a part of a day that was very special for her.
The event ambiance was also stunning–candles abounded, as well as moody reddish pink lighting that truly created a sexy space for the reception. And last but not least, I was documenting the event with Ben Schaefer, who is an amazing photographer and partner in crime
The wedding was orchestrated seamlessly by the delightful (and ever so slightly mischievous) Linnea Tangorra. As always, the Ritz‘s staff and coordinators crafted a perfect experience, and Dana Markos conjured up all of the lovely florals and candles for the celebration.
