Wedding Story
Photographer’s Remarks:
“Even though Alisa and CJ postponed their Jamaica destination wedding till next year, they still wanted to have a small ceremony on their original date. Their Central Park microwedding at Bethesda Terrace had only a fraction of the guest list, but all the style and love that New York has to offer.”
Bridal Q & A
Q1: Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette? Did you incorporate any cultural or religious traditions in any part of your day?
A1: The wedding vibe was non-traditional contemporary elegance. Since we were supposed to get married in Jamaica we wanted to keep the ceremony light and non-traditional.
Q2: What were the florals like in your wedding? Did you use flowers in any of your design elements like the bridal bouquets, centerpieces or ceremony backdrop? Did they play an important part in the overall style of your wedding?
A2: For the ceremony we kept it more of a city chic vibe so we went with very small white rose boutonnières adorned with silver dollars and matching bouquets for the bridesmaids.
Q3: Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look? Describe the looks in detail.
