Gaby and JR, The Roosevelt Hotel




















This was my first wedding away from my little one, but it couldn't have been a better one! Gaby and JR got married at the Roosevelt Hotel and their wedding was simply gorgeous. Gaby is the sister of Missy, whose wedding I photographed at the beginning of 2006, and it was wonderful to see their family again as well as Jennifer and Maurice (whose wedding was March 31st, 2006) who are also friends. Kimery Sherwood of Kimery Events was the coordinator and it's always a pleasure to work with her (she keeps me on schedule!!!) and GD Designs did the flowers - AMAZING! Both Gaby and JR were really great to work with and I am thrilled with some of their portraits. My parents actually stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel the last time they came to town and back then I was walking around the hotel, looking at backdrops. I knew I would do something with that funky wallpaper. Yay! This was a Jewish wedding made ever more special by the fact that JR had just converted! I was pretty floored by how absolutely excited and in love these two are and there vows to each other during the ceremony were hilarious. The evening was topped off by the band, who are friends of the couple and learned the Hora especially for the occasion. And Gaby's friends and family can sure do a Hora!!!!
