Melissa & Greg’s Wedding at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Melissa & Greg were wed on a Sunday under the most beautiful giant weeping willow tree in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in a moving ceremony featuring vows they wrote themselves. I started the day with Melissa and her bridesmaids getting ready over at a nearby hotel– check out their cute matching robes! When I saw the colorful chairs on the roof I just had to take them up there for a some group pictures before they got dressed for the wedding. Once the gals were ready we headed over to Brooklyn Botanic Garden to do a first look and portraits prior to the ceremony. Melissa and Greg had written letters to one another and I was honored to capture this sweet moment where she read his note before they saw each other. Other highlights of this beautiful wedding included a sweet candle-lighting during the ceremony, a great round of toasts to the bride and groom, dancing thanks to the great music courtesy of DJ Rob Kelly, and I was excited to take my new velvety green background out for a spin in their photobooth!
